I know the eternity of midnight
where the days don't light the days and the night
stays tight against my wrinkling skin,and the only way out is the way you got in,but you can't find the way and you're lost,
so you stay.

And midnight never ends,this eternity wends its way slowly to your core,clambers clumsily in through each and every pore,and though you try to reach the sun,for some the sun will never come and here you stay,
Crumpled, where the night becomes the only way to live,
crumpled, where the night feeds on you,so you give,and
pleading silently for this eternity to end,
for one brief moment to pretend things will work out, but doubt assails you and you flail wildly,
childlike,sadly stuck
so you sit and **** your thumbs until eternity makes up its mind and comes,
whenever that may be.

I am man
Destroyer of worlds
Ask the survivors
Of the ant hill out back

I am man
Practitioner of violence
See for reference
My arsenal of Nerf weapons

I am man
Taker of life
My double bacon cheeseburger
A ****** trophy

I am man
Celebrator of brutality
I gotta go
The game is on

I looked into her deep blue eyes
Remembering the memories we shared.
With every last care fading away.
I swallow my doubt and speak my heart...
I love you for your horrible days, amazing days..
Annoying me, loving me, either way I can't get you out of my mind.
I feel infinite when I'm mesmerized by your graceful touch.
I am the one, the answer to your prayers...
Take my hand and let me in...
I promise I will never let go.
For my girlfriend,Kori..I love her with all my heart and I hope while reading this you understand a little bit of how I feel. :)
With my opened eyes the world came to my focus
Here before me through the glassed prison
Called home
The mist had taken control
And this was my wake

The world had lost its colour
My life had broken down
This heart was left in pieces
Last night I was the clown

Another faded evening
Of wanted love and care
Instead I drank for freedom
I drank because I dared

At first they wanted friendship
A happy place to be
The drinks all round god bless em
Until the wait and see
Until the wait and see

My inner man did show them
The real one inside
All plots are going broken
I'm ready for the ride

The last of night was over
My head did bow in shame
The dawning of the future
The mist did lay its claim

So now I wait
Let the mist fade  

Give me peace for just an hour
Release me let me free
Let me free
children play atop me,
six feet above empty potential.
my body,
a delicacy for no man to enjoy
must the maggots feast on me now.
winter will wipe away all color
pale and frigid as I.
spring will invoke new life
for everything but I.
for I am winter's daughter
and the sun doesn't shine for me.
so i considered, pictured
every person who i thought
might take the time
to listen

to let me vent
and cry
and scream
until it stopped hurting

my album
remained empty

i'm alone
Can I be
A nice mistake
You made once?
Not really looking
Just through a window
Saw something
That made you smile
And I was caught
In the tractor beam,
Opposing polarities
Couldn't separate us,
But you weren't exactly
An open embrace,
Burrs on a sock,
Lint in a pocket,
I wanted to be
But like one dusts off,
I was to be exiting
This bus ride,
Leave the taxi a tip,
Thanks for the trip,
Like free coffee
A sort of meh,
Nothing to like
Or not, I don't have
To be special to you,
Though you are to me,
If you remember;
Then address, if not
I'm postage for another letter...
