your eyes,
much like the stars,
waters my eyes
and keeps my head high.
my fingertips constantly
reaching for you
and all the way to the stars
that glitter in the moonlight.
i'd tilt my head,
my neck over slightly,
your lips brush on me,
and suddenly
i know
you feel as i do,
and thats enough for me
to know that this is true.

you bring me back to reality
because sometimes i lose it
and think that nothing is real.
looking up at you
is far more enchanting than
looking at the stars.
and dear, you know
just how much i live for
the stars.

just know that
all of this is true.
why does this feel right?
your lips on my neck
the pit of my stomach flutters
and i know that maybe,
just maybe,
this could last.

your lips are soft
my hands are weak,
what if i am not what you need?

i cannot stop writing about you nor
thinking about you.
i drew you for Christ's sake,
you are my muse and the
most beautiful girl i have
ever had the chance to discover.

you bring out the light in me,
the reason i smile and laugh
and can finally live

all of this,
these words,
the poems,
the lyrics,
the books,
the whispers,
the smiles,
the artwork,
and the way i look at you...
all of it means the one thing i believe ill
never be able to show you.

but hey,
ill try.
in case you're wondering, its love that i feel like i can never show.
Gates and boards and reels of wire
Garbage by the gates
Driveway overgrown with grass
The factory is a state

Security checks once an hour
To make sure all's still locked
Another business shut it's door
the economy was rocked

Another workplace bites the dust
Another one shuts down
To find the business district here
You've got to leave the town

They're closing up 'bout one a month
Jobs are leaving by the score
When you leave, turn out the lights
And please folks, lock the door

Work is leaving faster than
It has ever in the past
There's more folks on assistance
How long will this all last?

Fifty years a hundred ten
Factories closing shop
There's more buildings that are vacant
Our growth came to a stop

It doesn't matter where you go
It's all the bottom line
If they can do it cheaper
Then out goes the "CLOSING" sign

It all comes down to profit
You're a number not a name
It doesn't matter where you go
Plant closure is the game

Another workplace bites the dust
Another one shuts down
To find the business district here
You've got to leave the town

They're closing up 'bout one a month
Jobs are leaving by the score
When you leave, turn out the lights
And please folks, lock the door
This body is not mine.
It belongs to another time,
it belongs to the living statues
in the rain-soaked streets,
it belongs to mute manikins
feigning beauty;
it belongs to the old faces
that line my dreams,
that elude my touch,
that fade to elements of shapes
and voices, now but passing seconds
of memories lost.

This aeon is not mine.
I belong to another time,
I belong to the mountain's edge
and paradise beach,
I belong to locked diaries
feigning secrets;
I belong to the strong women
that better my mind,
that elude my touch,
that burn to elements strong
and sentiments echoed eternally
in memories never lost.
joy
Working hard to fund my hobbies
Proud my hard work is starting to pay off
Work is better I'm there to do my job get paid
Not everyone appreciates what they have
I have my own car the freedom to leave whenever
I'm being responsible hoping to one day find true love
Sobriety makes the world clear living the straight edge life makes sense
I'm loving life thankful and blessed
I'm challenging myself to be more
Do more create opportunity grow as a person

i could've kissed your
almost lips all day long.
and the way you left me
wanting more,
i feel like you're a pro at this.
i love holding you,
and feeling like this.
I'm on a constant high,
and even when i come down
you're there to catch me.

the necklace,
its blue and simple,
but quaint and fierce.
it is strong,
and full of memories.
and it reminds me of you.

i really hope you like the necklace.
im a bit of a romantic.
one of the ways i show how i feel is
by buying presents, so hopefully you're
okay with that.

i just... i want you to know
that you are really wonderful.
and that i could and would
keep you in my arms all day
and dare to kiss your lips.

i almost cried earlier because
for some **** reason,
church reminds me of
all the bad things that have
ever happened to me.

is that normal?

i thought church was
supposed to lift you up
because God loves you,
right?

i know he does...
but why do i constantly
need a reminder that i am
not worthy of such love?
just some thoughts about earlier today at school in church....hmm....
For the passage of tomorrow,
I cut myself a key.
Hoping that by walking on,
I will come to see

all the beauty frozen in place
and all postmodern lust,
the temples left to ruin in sun,
now covered in ancient dust.

For the promise of a taxi,
I walk on through the rain.
Hoping that I’ll sober up
In time to catch the train,

that will take me off to Europe,
that will take me to my room,
that will undress me by the window
and kiss me like a groom.

I plan to marry Bratislava,
kiss Amsterdam on the cheek,
run away with Budapest,
away from times so bleak.

For the programme of education,
I grew myself a tree.
Under the eaves I dreamt of you
and all you were meant to be.

I hope you’re living at frightful speed,
I hope you’ve learned to shout.
It’s been far too long since I’ve heard your voice
oh, it’s been far too long without

your words grunted in the morning,
your words in any form at all,
I see your ghost in every corner,
And I see you in the hall.
c
Oh, blessed eyes of infancy,
unknowable love of misery,
I will lend to you my fatherly face,
for your sleepy breath
and all sin erased.

Be still in sight, make a man of me,
let me tend to you, my mimicry.
I will lend to you mistakes of my past,
to devour a lesson
that is built to last.

Oh, brand new eyes of innocence,
Impatient love of my descent,
I will hold you with strength I’ve never possessed,
I will tend to your soul,
I will beat in your chest.
