Well I've been waiting, for a while...

So how much longer do I wait for these so called good things?

In a world where good
is not good enough
and perfection is an end
never quite attained

          I am trapped

between living
to love with my whole heart
and toiling
in pursuit of alleged personal gain

To madness
the mind will be driven
that pursues
the impossible feat

          For it is trapped

by a vicious,
insatiable thirst
for an end
which man cannot achieve

I have followed
the paths of these mad minds
for as long
as my memory recalls

          And I'm trapped

between
your increasingly high expectations
and a desire
to abandon it all

Wistful , wishful, hopeful of a new start
Renewing, healing a broken , twisted heart.
to have to pull back on the reins of my giving
will stop my hostile reactions but wont feel like living.

Hazel nuts, brown leaves,
They fly in formation, last reign—
Blue drops, summer sky.

Sometimes we pretend to be dead
So that we can remain alive.

Good Morning
My voice rang across the room.
Good Morning
He sang
A smile creeping up from the corners of his mouth, spreading up towards the wrinkles of his eyes where his glasses hang.
Those baby blues
Illuminating the room like they do...
He asked for his daily poem
So I read him two.
I'm impressed, he said,
Barely audible
"I'm so proud of you."
I plant a kiss on his forehead
I'm so blessed
I said
To have an audience kind enough to grant me his ears while I rant multiple stanzas all the way through....
Now lets get up and get dressed,
"I'm so proud of you too..."

The void erupts
We grip the lawn for dear life
So I squeeze the glass in my hand
To let the blades of grass inside.

The stars are falling!
Trees are uplifted into the widening sky.
Car alarms shriek a eulogy
For the fear ****** from our eyes.

Venus is gone!
Tie our broken arms together
I bite my lips in half
So my taste will last forever.

The stars are slowing!
Streetlights bleed slowly in the night:
Like traffic on the freeway,
The photons no longer move at the speed of light

So the line starts here (buildings uproot)
Your nails are in my veins (there's no wind)
Outrun the singularity (if you dare)
If you please, if you care.
Let this be all I know (Glowing)
Ion storms collide (It's colder somehow)
The sun slips far away (Where I'll be)
Moments becoming infinities

The clock stops!
This is our infinite second.
I just want to move to see you
But you were out of sight

When terror became night.
