you don't know how to carry
the burden of being alone
you can try by pretending
to have company.

But in the end of the
day, sleep
is your
best friend.
just a simple shout-out to self
Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

He offered her the world
But she said she only desired his heart
He paused for a moment in complete silence
As he did not know where to start...
It was a seductive day in Phoenix
The only one I'd ever seen
Rain fell from the heavens so harshly
This wasteland turned into an evergreen

Just as overbearing as the heat of day
This desert showed no mercy
The barriers were broken and the flood was released
Blessing this land with novelty

Thunder like drums through the midnight skies
Lightning to lead our way
For twenty-four hours, this place was pure ecstasy
Never was there a more enchanting day.

I'm falling from the heavens
I fell and am half way to hell
The fall is scary
I'm seeing so many monsters
I can even see one in myself

The Angels fly by
But they don't see me
They can only see the
Monster I'm fated to be

But I'm still falling and you can still save me so why,
Why, why, why
Why won't they catch me?
They see you fall into the abyss, but they won't risk falling with you so they just ditch you.

**SO HARD!
Thank God I live where it's DRY!
Don't get too many mosquitoes here
We made sure all our neighbours know
my mom had contracted the
West Nile virus!
They know not to leave
standing water around
