Great Pretender Apr 2018
Clouds in my coffee
Coffee in  my veins
When did it get to this point of pain?
Snapshots of time
That reminds us of our prime
Green grass
and a tight ***
What happens after?
Forced into what we don’t want to do
Forced to follow social cues
Acting like high fools
Hugs and drugs and electronic bugs
Stuck in our heads
Like plastic in seabeds

Somewhere I know someone is waiting.
Waiting to wipe the tears from my eyes,
Waiting to tell me that everything is going to be alright.
Somewhere someone is waiting.
Waiting to tell me jokes,
jokes that make me laugh for hours on end
The kind that makes your brain bend.
I know it's out there.
I just don’t know where.
Days melt into puddles of unknown realms.
The puddles evaporate into clouds of thoughts of what is and what should have never been.

Don’t tease if you can’t please
That used to be my motto
But what if the one I should have pleased
Was myself, by not being on auto
Compulsive acts
Haunt my dreams
Cigarette packs
Have become sunlight beams
I think about your hallow mind
and all the deeds that have made me blind
You unzip my jeans
But I'd prefer you to unzip my dreams
Think deeper thoughts
Then just the ones about empty parking lots
I lose myself in your eyes
Wrap you up in pretty lies
I told myself I wouldn't care
But nothing really can compare
To the way I feel when your presence in the air
and the way you run your fingers through my hair

Sleeping around
Smoking some pounds
Not talking sense
Starting to put up my defense
I don’t know how to feel
Maybe only time can heal
It doesn’t click in my head
Did I just wake up in your bed?
It's like talking to a door
I just feel like a *****
Show me what it means
To be cared for at my seams
I drink to forget
and smoke away regret
The guilt runs through my veins
Like the tracks of downbound trains

My thoughts are molasses
they can't seem to move
All I'm left with is sweet thoughts of you
Thick and black
Please come back
Thoughts of you stuck in the cracks
I see you in every frame I view
My observations have gone askew
Stuck- paralyzed- I need to see your eyes
Come before I crystalize

I took a pill to help with my mind,
I felt ill and my brain started to unbind
All I could think about is your cloud bed
laying together, you unraveling my head
Whisper sweet nothings into my ear,
that is the only thing I want to hear
Tell me that life is worth reviving
Tell me I don’t have to be conniving
Can’t you tell my heart beats for you
We can dissolve in the boundless blue
Summer tears wiped into springs
Spring tears bent into rippling rings
Walk along my horizon
Tell me where ambition lies in
Take me where I have never gone before
Your arms will be the only thing that can keep me onshore

— The End —
