hacking coughs rack my body
forcing sleep to evade me
just give me some loving company
please
please
please

on the cusp of being Vegas bound
with a car full of old friends, howling like hounds
yet somehow it hangs heavy on my heart
as if this is the last time that things will feel
almost like the used to back in highschool
and ever after the sounds of our laughter
will fade further and further
as we drift apart
like leaves resting
on water
this is something that gives me much anxiety because I love them, they were there for all the bad and good, they have no need to speak words when I let it slip that, "I miss Ed" or "You guys are the reason I'm not dead" they can just look at me, nod, give a hug and I know they know what I'm feeling, that they care. I'm just worried about them turning into old photos that I talk to but that don't talk back, ya know? I'm worried about saying goodbye, instead of see you soon....

If you read this on a phone turn it horizontal so that the lines look right, or don't, I just write the words, it's up to you to decide how you want to read it

many illegal substances
have coursed through my veins
but the one that's killing me
can be bought totally legally
at any gas station
while legal drug lords
bathe in the spoils
made out of me
and this pack of
Turkish Royals
it doesn't make any sense

Waking moments are malleable
mostly under my control,
if a thought or longing
I wish to be rid of pops up
a quick shake of the head
sheds them from my mind
but sleep is a troubling time
because the power to steer dreams
is beyond me
The woman I need to leave
as just a good memory
keeps showing up
she hugs me and kisses me
tells me she misses me
laughs and smiles
then I wake up
and realize she is
thousands of miles
out of my reach
before drifting back to sleep
where I can be hers
and rest my tired head
at her feet
I need to find a way to let her go, my heart needs room to let a new, real love in

all I hear is
"Praise God for this!"
and
"Praise God for that!"
but to me
there is no arguement back
to why so much of the world
suffers
why heroes die young
and bad guys live forever
I known the name
******
better than any hero's name
ever
I hear "******"
more than "love"
and people expet me to
kneel to some man above?
Believe in white doves
that get shot down a second later?
You must be joking
If I ever see world peace
I'll be praying
to humans
for changing
not some omnipotent being
who is
faking

I thought letting go
would be a rough
thorn ridin road
but it ain't so
it ain't so
The ease with which
my grasp loostened then
fell away
takes my breath away
and shivers my bones
Is this how I start my own
how I grow?
Full of sorrow for the old
while becoming the king
of letting
go
.

Since writing  this I have found that it is not easy, I just wanted to fool myself into think so

I have a lot to say but I don't know
how
I open my mouth but the words just
don't come out
I think I'll go ahead and
run away
I'll come back when I find
the words to say
but don't expect me
to have everything straight
in my life
and don't expect me
to know the word to say
to apologize
don't expect me to
come on home
get used to the idea of
letting go
Song I wrote that I found
