I told a friend the truth today,
I'd lied to him for years,
I approached with trepidation-
Quite full of my own fears.

But my friend, he said he didn't care,
And things have gone on as before,
And never once in all time hence,
Could I have asked for one thing more.

If ambivalence is poison, then what is zealotry?

It strikes me as I watch tv,
The callousness of culture:
We laugh or cry as the whim takes us,
But never really care,
We culturally don't dare.

But is it 'cause we're sheltered?
Or merely 'cause we're bored?
We watch our TV passively,
massive drivel shoveled freely,
It turns our minds to rubble.

But is it any better
To believe something so completely
That a slightly different opinion
Is neatly pushed aside...
Discounted as lies...
Or messily dies?

Farewell, Dear Friend

Farewell, dear friend,
The ember of your love demands too much,
For your momentary pleasure I am forced to pay in blood,
For the privilege of people I will never meet again.

Farewell, dear friend,
For I have sacrificed too much for you,
On the coldest of nights I have sheltered you,
And I have given you all I have, even as you poisoned me.

Farewell, dear friend,
For you have estranged me from others who love me more,
Amd I know even from within your chemical embrace,
That your knives are busily whirling in my chest.

The Storm

Sometimes my thoughts run black,
And suddenly I'm all alone,
In a world lit with dark,
Like an undeveloped photo.

----

I burden my friends
Alienate my parents
And say things i deeply regret
In bolts of brilliant red fury
At myself. At everything.

----

After, all that is left is the
deep blue of despair,
Like rolling moonlit clouds,
Leaving only quiet after the storm.

Limit to Your Love (the Sad Duet)

There's a limit to your love  |  There's no limit to my love
Like a waterfall in slow motion  |  Like the floodwaters in motion, or
Like a map with no ocean  |  A vast and placid ocean
There's a limit to your love  |  There's no limit to my love
Your love, your love, your love  |  My love, my love, my love

There's a limit to your care  |  There's a limit to your care
So carelessly there, is it truth or dare  |  I thought it was there, is it truth or dare
There's a limit to your care  |  There's a limit to your care
There's a limit to your love  |  There's no limit to my love
Like a waterfall in slow motion  |  Like the tidewater in motion
Like a map with no ocean  |  Adrift on this calm ocean
There's a limit to your love  |  There's no limit to my love
Your love, your love, your love  |  My love, my love, my love

There's a limit to your love  |  There's no limit to my love
So carelessly there, is it truth or dare  |  You had it for years, these are my worst fears
There's a limit to your care  |  There's a limit to your care

Modification of James Blake's song. Needed a retort from the other side.

Endless Journey

What is truth and how can we begin to know it?
Does it seem to encompass all of us?
We stand apart, a people set above
Destined to forever see what we cannot ever be

Battered buildings stand as silent monuments
Deep inside our dreams we sense some meaning
We stand alone, a people set above
Destined to forever be stumbling forward blindly

As a race we will continue on again
Traveling the dusty road of time forever
Watching empires rise and fall like dust-
The stumblings of petty things called men

We stand apart, a people set above
Destined to forever be walking forwards endlessly

Underneath an Overpass

I'm underneath an overpass
I come here when I'm mad
My family was fighting --
And I fled, the fight was bad.

I'm smoking my last cigarette
It's the fourth time that I've "quit"
And I'm surrounded by broken bottles,
Heh - drowning spirit with spirits

And I'm surrounded by this droning roar
Which makes me hear my parents more
When I was little I would have cried
But that fragile part is trying to die
And here, with sobs wracking my spine
I try to remember happier times..

Just a little part more of me dies
"It'll be fine" another lies.
