The coke lines
act like friends
Gone in a blur

Inhale another hit of the nitrous
To feel any thing else but pain
hallucinations to keep me compamy.

The intensity of the television
Casting silhouettes along the wall
Distract me from silence

I feel empty,
so I drink till the bottle feels empty,
that way I'm not alone anymore.

Where are you?
What are you doing now?
Under this endless sky, are you there?
A future where we all smiling and happily laughing
Is what I always dream of
Yet like the passing summer wind on that day
It disappeared

A story that just about to begin
Ended without any warning
Memories of distant past I recur to remember
Yet I can’t see your face
Like how the grains of sand in my hands keep on slipping;
You too, had slipped away

Where are you?  
What are you doing now?
Are you looking at the same sky I am looking now?
I keep on praying all my wishes
Yet it seems it was never heard
As my voice was drowned out by the cry of cicadas

Returning to those times I deeply longed
The cicadas say it's too late
But still I keep on praying that I’ll reach out to you
That on the other side of this sky you are there
Please believe in me when I say
"Please be happy. I love you."

Where are you?
What are you doing now?
Even it will rain, there will still be an endless blue sky after
So let's start over once more
And hope that the ending will be happy this time
As the cicadas sing their song
Let’s go home and hold hands
Meeting you is a miracle. And to meet you once again is a dream. Inspired from Higurashi no naku koro ni song Dear You

We can't go backwards
But if we could it would be
To that very night

Holding each other
Time standing still
And a blissful,
Extremely tender
Loving innocence
Surrounding us

No passion
Just simple love
Where a simple touch
Can sing a hundred songs

It's cold outside but I hear seagulls
It feels like October or November
Mixed with a little bit of May
It reminds me of pumpkin farms and beaches
Both associated with good times
Paired with past people
Forevers gone all wrong

Memories of goats and cookies
Almost send me into an attack of anxiety
Heartbeat racing and limbs get weak
I have to concentrate on my breathing
Cause I can't afford to fall right now

The beach reference comes from the smell
It's probably dead fish
But it reminds me of lakes
Like the one we went fishing on
Or the one we swam in with my family
Different waters carry the same smell
And remind me of the same person

My most intense triggers seem to be the weather
Which is ****** cause I can't escape it
So I keep driving
Heat up
Windows sealed
To escape these broken memories
Now broken people
And it's all my fault

Dancing merely along,  my hair blowing in the warmth of the sun,  through the ever green meadow as the softness of grass tickle my bare toes .
This burning bliss of freedom caressing my body like the silken feathers of a swan. Dancing along no worries to hold me down. Closing my eyes , my senses aroused by the sweet scent of  luscious Jasmine in the air.  Nature has it's way of healing our souls, wind blowing the worries from my head, followed by the rain to wash them away, The sunshine comes to dry the rain as the moon awaits another day .
Fresh air works wonders to open your mind

i want to buy these mice a home so
that their presence helps keep the table clear
i think i’ll place it in the gap between the door and the floor
in the hopes of keeping the noise out and
of having at least one of us feel
a sense of being welcome

the paper bags in my hands wouldn’t feel
heavy if they knew where they were going maybe
and hitting my head against the bed again doesn’t stop me from
showing off the letters on my chest although
i’ve been known to miss the mark

if there's a spark in her eyes it’s 'cause she stole the light from mine
but i like the cold because it makes me feel alive

my favorite part comes around
when the two trains meet and for a second
i can catch a glimpse of everyone’s place in the world
before we’re whisked away to
our respective loneliness

or maybe it’s where the streets
run narrow like those in the places where
connection, if anything, tastes a bit more genuine
it's quite polarizing but this time i’ll seek
comfort in the grey of it until it
all comes rushing back

they say home is where the heart is so this probably still isn’t it
but it will do for now
