I Have Nothing

Right now I have nothing
I dont know what to write
Every word that I put down
Seems somehow not to rhyme

I try to push through it
Come up with perfect lines
Then erase each word on the page
And start over one more time

I know that it will come to me
I must simply clear my mind
Allow the words to just flow free
And write them line by line

But right now I have nothing
And I dont know what to write
Every word that I put down
Seems somehow not to rhyme

Just been a long long week and the good ones are getting lost inside my head. I need to find my groove but other things are on my mind.

I will never be ok with Us
Your love will never be enough
The feelings all will fade away
And now it's time to sieze the day.

Your fickle words all run dry
Every lie can pass me by
Love is just a game to you
You say it, yes, but is it true?

You let me down times before
When you left me on the floor
My heart has crumbled up inside
But these feelings I will always hide.

Wishing I could have you here
But I know and truely fear
That you will never be the one
Never be my Golden Sun.
Looking out her window
tracing the raindrops rolling down
wondering if they'll ever reach the other side
she asks out loud, "will they ever find a home"
like the one she desires to feel welcomed in.
"Will they ever feel the feeling of accomplishment?
The feeling of completion?"
(in which her fragile heart so desperately aches for)  
All she's ever wanted is to be loved and accepted, not hated and stepped on.

Lip ring.

I only like my lip ring
Because it makes me feel
Like words are constantly
On the edge of my mouth-
Sometimes warm,
And sometimes so cold
I shiver.

”She's happy here.”**
I hear that line
Pretty frequently.
But for some reason,
I never really am.

Please one more time tonight
I gotta get right before Sunday service
Pinhole pupils gouged by beauty
I am in love with the store clerks
Ringing up ciggarettes and vidalia onions on their cash registers
I just want to come over that conveyor belt
And kiss them

Dilated impulse control
Has me reaching out into the darkness
Looking for your hand
I'm not alone
In my head at least
You lie next to me

It feels a little bit like life in here
Away from the noise and the din
Have a shotgun barrel beneath my chin
Thinking of rebirth and a god with eyes

I load up .6
Just for the hell of it

I just want to see
If I'll wake up tommorow
And find you still sleeping on my ribs

Find me in the piazza where Neptune's confined
As night makes phantoms of us two entwined
Hold me tightly, with all your power
When we come across that evil tower
Where the feet of men once danced upon air
Please - do not let us not linger there
Instead, take me to the statues ball
Where shadows waltz across the wall
We'll join them in this moonlit masque
And spin until dawn begins her task
As darkness burns in morning's fire
Take my hand so we may retire
I'll place my head upon your naked chest
And savor the silence in which we're blessed
But most of all, do not let me leave
For home is not a place to grieve
Keep me here, until our hearts cease to endeavor
In our final moment, we will live forever.
One night in Florence
