You
French made jacket
faux-hawk fancy free
dancing gait tiptoeing
dreaming of the sea

mumbling, musing
finally light and free
hollowed out and yet
engorged with intricacies

sloping, sweeping
eyes glued to me
dripping sweetness
and sensitivity.

My sweet man, you don’t have me.
But, baby, you’ve got my memory.
And you’ll always have my love.
That’s one thing that never leaves.

How can one choose to control their life?
Tomorrow I’ll be in a collision and die.
Goodbye, Goodbye, my dear goodbye.
What’s life worth living
if you can’t say you tried?
So long, pain. Goodbye, goodbye.
I must look out for myself
and leave you behind.

What wisdom exists?
Who knows what I’m to do?
So many signs I’ve missed
That’s when I should’ve left you.

How can one choose to control their life?
Tomorrow I’ll be in a collision and die.
Goodbye, Goodbye, my dear goodbye.
What’s life worth living
if you can’t say you tried?
So long, pain. Goodbye, goodbye.
I must look out for myself
and leave you behind.

My first love
You’ve torn me down
Alone, alive, and always around

How can one choose to control their life?
Yesterday I was in a collision and died.
Good morning, my dear, Hi.
What’s life worth living
if I can’t say I tried?
How do you do, pain. I’m alive, alive.
I must look out for myself
But I can’t leave you behind.

My sweet man, you have me.
Baby, we have our memories.
And you’ll always have my love.
That’s one thing that never leaves.
For Kyle.

You've never held me so closely
or as tenderly, dear.
The lies built up inside you
and created a barrier of fear.

Your smile has never been as real
or as heartbreakingly sweet.
Your heart thumped so timely
without skipping one beat.

I sensed your truth
for the first time yesterday
I wanted you more than ever
and in so many more ways.
I wanted you back without waiting
the long, coming days.
To run free, away from your disease
and into the sun's bright rays.
I only long for you, love
without all of your pain.

You really gave me comfort
I can never explain
I only hope to have it back
one day, after your addiction wanes.

Is it possible that "meant" might be?
That I need you and you need me?

Maybe you and I
We are meant to be
With my hand in yours
Somewhere by the sea.

Because one day
life will cease
On this we can agree
But until then I know
I will love you
relentlessly

A flame flickers from its own smoke
as you and I flee and fight eternity
it's not our own, but that of our country.

We all move toward the same destiny
It's the stuff in the middle
in which we differ.
Time is always present
Only for some it's quicker...
You can't fight your own life
for it only makes you bitter.

Why waste another minute
experience-less and lame?
Though time is still moving,
life isn't the same.

Squeeze the day;
with its juice make joy.
Enjoy the life you have
without being coy.

Defense* is everything
Heart is nothing
Leaving each other never means loving.

What's that saying about drivers?
Be a defensive one...
Always pushing, always abandoning
Never devoted, just done.

When did society become so selfish and scared?
So many dead and dying with hearts beyond repair.

**** fleeing, stick around.
Forigve mistakes, don't push someone out.
Don't leave someone when they're down.

Stop thinking about yourself
and LOVE
Quit worrying about you pain
and HELP
Give others what they deserve
and TRUST

Embrace the sweetness in what society considers "stupidity"
Stay with them - because we're all human...aren't we?

C'est comme dit The Smiths,

"If I seem a little strange
That's because I am
But I know that you would like me
If only you could see me
If only you could meet me
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours"

Je vous aime. Vous ne verrez jamais?
Nous s'emboîtions comme les pieces d'un puzzle.
Laissez-moi de rentrer.
Laissez-moi de vous connaître.
