I started to realize I wasn't functioning without thinking about you.
I tried to change my mind & couldn't focus.
now my functions are dysfunctional & thinking about not thinking about you when all I can do is think about you is making it hard to think. I don't understand it. you don't even want me & I'm still seeing you in my sleep.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith,
Baby, I know it,
Your love is a wraith.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith,
Baby, You know it,
I commemorate
All who follow
The dream evermore.
Live the dream.
That's what it's for.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith.
You say it, then you don't,
But, you want me to stay.
You're not the dream
That I've wished for,
I'm going to chase my dream
To the farthest shore.
Then I'm going
To board a vessel,
Without a shred
Of guilt to wrestle.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith,
Like a bullet on fire,
I break from your gate.
I'll be on distant lands.
You will wonder
Why you have no man.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith.
Baby, I know it.
Your love is a wraith.
Blood in my eyes,
Stars on my vest,
I linger on
No past regret.

Blood in my eyes,
Slack in my faith,
Baby, I know it,
Your love is a wraith.
This is a mantra,
I often say,
When I think
Of that sweet day
When I'll finally find
The courage to leave you~
This is a companion piece to Dear John, another poem I submitted to this site. It has been decades in the making.

"Bullets are a lot like words, it doesn't matter what size or how many there are.. Because all it takes is one to blow your mind or pierce your heart.."

She Told Me She Loved Me,
I Said "Prove It"
And She Pushed Me
Off The Top
Of A Building.

oni
the wolves sing
for me to indulge
in these animalistic tendencies

to crush your skull
to rip out your throat
to inhale the beast

i am not ashamed
to dance in your blood
as it is the same shade
as good luck
Sleep's unattainable when
you've found the girl
of your dreams.
