All my life
I measured myself
By my income
Intelligence
Stupidity
Creativity
Mistakes
But when I died
I saw everyone else
Measured me
By my heart

I LEARNED TO RUN WHEN I WAS YOUNG
FROM A WORLD OF EVIL, AND THEN SOME
THROUGH WICKED SKIES THAT STAINED THE NIGHT'S
I TORE THE FABRIC TO PEEP THE SIGHT

GATHERING SHADOWS WATCHING ME BLEED
FLASHES OF PHANTOMS WHO LONG TO FEED
WITHIN THOSE NIGHTS MY SIGHT WAS FORMED
WITHIN THOSE NIGHTS MY HEART WAS TORN

re to 02-17
Waiting for 11:11 in the morning
and staying up at night.
Watching for the first star
to come out at night
looking for shooting stars.
Just to make that 1 wish,
the same thing every time.
With just a small hope
it can come true someday.
Tonight I am wandering like a drunk in the streets , honey
hoping to find that shooting start that brought you to me.

We speak too often of "love"
The power
The ability
The emotions
The breaths taken away

These words will never be enough
So I want the silence to drip into your veins
A protest from talking over my own tongue
Attempting to convince you of our "love"
Confessing a white flag surrender


I will hold my breath to show you
The intensity
The magnitude
The ravenous
"Love" I possess for you

phocks
a warm dawning sun
rises slow on hazy horizons
with winds wildly
blowing
down endless
interconnected currents
we wake up
to birds singing
timeless songs of morning
and our forgotten past
leaves us hanging
like willows weeping
in the rain

Hush now,
dry your tears,
I know you wonder how,
it has been going on for years.
Promise me you'll stay,
keep quiet and don't you cry,
Happiness will find you one day,
So please just cling on and try.
