today brought disappointment
I also think it's strange
that everybody wants a clown
instead of actual change

...but at the same time im pro-life, and Hillary is a ******* crook, so I have mixed feelings.

This pain doesn't stop me
the tears I stopped shedding
now I could live well
if I'd just stop forgetting

Icy hands of December
strangle Augusts' warm breeze
as signs of its passing
are shown in the trees

when we met

it was magical


and when you said you wanted to know

everything

about me

it was terrifying

I ran for days


I didn't deserve you


but when I came back

you were still waiting for me

and you were there

until I made  the same mistake

too many times


I broke you in more ways

than I thought possible

until you got tired of fighting

and then just walked away


you didn't deserve me

I can never replace you

I thought that I was finally strong enough
to make it without you, but I'm afraid
I've fallen back into that same hole
that you pulled me out of and

I need you

just like I always did
when I felt myself
losing control

where have you gone?

I searched
the familiar places
but I can't find a sign of you anywhere

why did you leave me?

you knew I couldn't make it on my own
just like when I left all those times
I knew you needed me
I guess what I'm really trying to say is,  I miss us

When I think of you,
I can't help but think about


your sleepy voice
telling me "good morning"

the way you took my dogs in
and spoiled them like your own

the way you calmed my fears
and beat my demons into submission

the way your skin always radiated
a warm, angelic glow

the way you fought for me
til you had nothing for yourself

the way you loved me so hard
you almost had me loving myself

the way you built me up so high
to knock me down later

but most importantly,
when I think of you
I can't help but think
of all those last chances you gave me

you were the best thing
that ever happened to me
and thinking about you is killing me, but I know that you would make me regret contacting you. But I want to hear your voice more than anything

Purple mountains watch them bleed under the disguise of democracy
Twin sunsets of false hope
This party that party
Celebrate with the champagne of lead water and pipelines and lies
Strap the blinders on tighter
Don't let the common man see the filth and pollution you spread behind the curtains of what you tell them is the Wizard of Oz
Where the broken dreams of the poor continuously feed the bottomless hunger of the gluttonous teeth of the rich
Vote for this ******* or that *****
It doesn't really matter just keep the illusion of freedom and choice alive
America was made by the blood and bones of cruelty
Built by dark hands bound in chains and ebony backs lashed by whips
We've done nothing less evil since the genocide and eviction of the people that lived here before we made this land great
And evil see evil do is what we do best so we just keep singing along about star spangled banners and purple mountains majesty
While ignoring the fact were holding the shovel thats digging our graves
