I knocked on the door
of the universe. "Am I
real?" No one answered.
I went to the edge
of the world. "Do I exist?"
I got no answer.
I stood on a cloud
and asked the sky, "What is life?"
I received nothing.
I knocked on the ground,
one last try, "Do I matter?"
I'll take that as a "no."
I asked myself, "Is
life worth it?" "Of course," I said.
"Why should it not be?"

ok
body bags surround me like crop circles.

The saddest part is, I know I'm not going to any of those funerals.
I went to a funeral once, before I had begun.
I don't think I ever left.

I hated your drinking
I hated your smoking
I hated your tattoos

& I hated it when the store clerk asked me if it was a rough night when I purchased a dozen of roses

because replying, "yeah my friend's stuck in his grave"
was something I never wanted to say in my whole life

But here I am, a dozen roses in hand
and here you are, buried, and unseen

I miss your drinking
I miss your smoking
I miss your tattoos

Because at least you *were alive
I'd pause as
you'd say Grace,
fork hovering in space
even though I didn't
hold that faith.
Call it gracefull,
and you were grateful,
You were great...
at times
Moody and complex
enough to frustrate...
at times
Changed my mind
on a lot of things,
changed it back again,
enigmatic to the end.
Faith restored and lost
When this Angel was sent.
So I utter this grace
to our beginning
and our end.
I tried to find happiness
I tried to find peace
I tried, so hard, to find love
But in the end
It seems that I prefer
To lose everything
So I can build it up again
So why protest?
Take it all
My soul, my words, my music
Let me start again
So I can find the truth behind it all
Let me throw away my life
So I can craft a different me
Let my heart melt
So I can cast a new one of flesh
Instead of iron
For they can search all they want
But it won't change the fact
That I don't want to be found

since you've been gone
i've written a few poems 
& not a single one 
actually says what i want
because i want to say
i miss you
& i want to say
i need you
& i want to say
come back to me 
& you left the door wide open
i thought it was a sign 
i thought it was some poetic way
of saying you'd walk back in
but now i realize 
you just didn't care enough to shut it
& now i feel a draft
a small cold wind 
whispering
"get up & change some things
she left you for a reason"

& now i come to find 
that there were never enough ampersands
to keep you & i together

[holyoak]
She said to me
     hi, hi
I felt very
  shy, shy
I rejoiced without cause
  But don't know
      why, why
I want to fly
Up, up
In the sky
Without wings
High, high !

What i got
That smile is brought
Whether it is
     Reflection of love
Or attraction
       On every reason
I thought !
A girl of brown color..
