Dearly beloved
we gather here to say
our goodbyes
to those we, unknowingly
treasured
and will greatly miss

Over a few long years
our sister communication
lost her battle with
technology
she will always be remembered
for her smiles
and intelligent conversation

Another of our fellows
sadly lost to electricity
is her brother
of written letters
fondly called snail mail
he will be thought of
often

And lastly
we say goodbye
to our dear friend
simplicity
she gave something
to all our lives that
the absence of will surely
be hard to adjust too

farewell beloved characters
you will be missed
greatly
by the human race
maybe
one day we can resurrect you

Crazy and Deranged
And just a little strange

I’m happy as can be
But I wonder if you see

The scars on every part
Of the branches of my heart

Battered and a little broken
Every word, I’ve heard it spoken

Life endured, I’ll wander through
And as always I’ll stand by you

Years, years of one day
One day it’ll all get better

Years, years of one day
One day it’ll come together

Years, years of one day
One day we’ll escape this weather

Years, years of one day
I’ll feel hope now and forever

I’m coming up for air
This chaos burns
Like fire breathing waves
Of sweet discontent
The door is open, don’t shut it or
We’ll fall from grace

A heart that hurts
Is a heart that works
Lyrics always whisper
Sweet nothings
To ease the time
Clouds cooling
Smoldering embers

Music is the voice
For those who’s tongues
Are tied
How we see one another
Saying yes we’re still here
Our show must go on
Unanimous or not
One step after another
The first two lines of the second stanza are from the song "Bright Lights" By Placebo.

I am your imaginary friend
I sit patiently
And listen
The comfort of my translucent shoulders
Harbours tired tears
And lost hope
I understand
And offer silent words
The need for heartfelt intention
Falls to me
Invisibility is my disguise
Yet I am here
To love, to hold, to listen
For those who need me most
I see you at your darkest
You see through me that
Which is hard to come by
I see you at your worst
Do you ever see me too?
I am your imaginary friend.

This is your life
Watch it float by
Does it make you feel nauseous
Or are you satisfied

Time is still ticking
It always seems to fly
You’ll never know, what way you’ll go
Or the reasons why

Times are getting colder baby
This fragile world could just explode
Is it time now, to think maybe
We could find another road?

I told you it was getting hazy
Please don’t let yourself be blind
These days, hope just seems so crazy
But I’m not leaving you behind
Fleur Jan 2011
Up
As we all fall
We’ll learn to crawl
Ascend the wall
And save us all
