the last time he went out of
his mind he liked it
so much there
that he never came back

not even after the
alcohol left
his blood

he keeps writing to this day

addresses women with 'sweangel'
a combination of sweet
and angel, I guess

but never spends more
than a matter of weeks
with any of them

some take pity on him
and some morbid curiosity

but no one loves him
truly
only his insanity

but that handle was made for his hand
hand - handle
handle - hand

the fingers would close
around it to never let go
It had to have flesh around it
at all times
But the blade...
the blade was still naked. He couldn't let
the blade naked
It wasn't fair

"So that's why you stabbed your
mommy then?" the psychiatrist asked him.

"Yes," he said.

"The knife is more important
to you than mommy?"

"The knife listens. Mommy doesn't."

Mentality is something everyone has
But everyone is not the same
There's always someone to blame
A certain truth to claim
Always a yes or a no
A black and white
Not many people see the silver lining
As my chair is reclining
I think about my side
Is my side right or wrong
Am I weak but strong
My mind sees two sides
both are wrong but both are right
Contradicting thoughts flow through my brain
I'm grey
sadly surrounded by black and white

19 years old
Blinded by selfishness and youth
Walked ready and bold
My heart was a chipped tooth
From the moment I met you
To the moment I lost you
Everything was blurred
It was the day we left each-others live's
My memory loss was cured
I suddenly started to remember the things you did
Instead of things you didn't
Most were cherished and sweet
Some were forgetful and discreet
You will always be remembered as the boy in the band
One to always hold my hand
One to never let me go
The one to takes things slow
I don't regret the time I had with you
You've taught me so much
Within the months
You taught me love in a divergent way
You showed me love is okay
And for that I'm thankful
I hope your life is nothing but growth

The opposite is always true
Whoever you think that person is
It's you
Whatever your vision is
You're the sight

Remember when life was as simple as running in a field and feeling happy
Money didn't matter
Greed didn't exist
It was free to fly
It was free to feel
It was free to smile
Everyone was one
Now everyone is gone

I miss the us we never were
The us I pictured would be but never was
I don't know how you feel about me
Please...answer
I've opened all these doors for you to walk through
You ran inside and found who I am
I try to walk through yours
But the door is locked
Tried simple knocks
I guess you never hear me
Or maybe you're not there
Maybe you've been a ghost this whole time
It would make sense, I've been feeling cold
Yet I've had you by my side
