When I just
turned thirteen
life was a dream
wonder abound in
the air
I didn't care
that was all in my mind
now I think too much
and waste my time
how did I become
so much
less
when all I wanted
was to be
more
I'm a
merry-go-man
stand in one spot
I'll appear again
my gallant steed is just
a plastic stallion
sowing seeds of lust
and self depreciation
my feet are tied
to his stirrups
I can't be loose of them
for I am knifeless
just let me fly
from this merry-go-life
again
Daniel Magner 2013
are we lost in all this decadence
Like the mad hatter In us all
Trying to climb the weary gates
But sure we do fall
Into the depths of the unforeseen Rabit's Hole

no
probably not
ill forget who I am
why I am
and How i am
people will eat my vulture snacks
Ill be a lady of the night
My mind is plagued by so many questions
Eating at my knowledge like hungry worms in an apple
Things that were once undoubted are beginning to haze my memories
Those happy memories that are set in stone in my brain
Stone that knows no erosion; forever in place

You dared tell me one day it meant nothing to me
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
You might be surprised by what you see
We’ll just blame it on immaturity
But to me your actions tell a whole different story

Yes, I was unaware of my big sense of pride
To you that’s what made you want to leave my side
So now you say you wont get back with me out of respect for yourself
Sounds like your ego’s found a clever disguise
Could it be your reason was just a hidden pretense itself?

That is just one question of many
Too soon to figure this all out
Even though it seems you’ve found the fast forward button on life
Girl you’re just going to end up hurting yourself if you keep trying so hard
Take it easy and let time show you the route

Should have seen this coming
All that sadness is turning into anger
But what’s that going to change?
Nothing, just punish me for something that’s natural
What do you expect, I’ve loved you every second since I met you.

This is different than quitting, it’s knowing better
For I believe if its meant to be it’ll work itself out
I know God’s plans are better than what I have in mind, no doubt
In the meanwhile I’ll pray for you and wish you the best
I just hope you never doubt that you meant the world to me, princess
Just noticed the last verse doesn't fit, but thats because I wrote this over a period of around 3 months.

Annie
I want to smoke the rain
until my lungs gasp for air
until my hands turn blue
and instead of blood
I will have water sifting
through my veins

so when you hold me tight
I can drown you in the fog
that consumes me
entirely and thoroughly
and even though our
physical realm has crumbled
may our dream realities
coexist
and intertwine
like wool yarn,
knitting socks for
all the questions I
remembered not to ask

“How can you fall in love so easily?”

or more importantly,

“How can you just stop?”
