sometimes you just need to
stop
look around you
a stream of green turns to a stream of red
concrete dreams into reality
(the overpass grows forever greener)
AC power lines tangle into infinity
and you sit here among it all
admiring the miraculous

At least now i know how you really feel,
Maybe I can finally move on,
Although it hurts,  I have no choice,
but to accept that you are gone.

I forgive you for your silence,
and the way it made me feel like dirt,
It must be hard to talk about,
The things you know will make me hurt.

Ive let go of broken promises,
The little things you swore to me,
At the time, neither of us knew,
That this is how it was going to be.

I don't think you love me anymore,
Goodbyes are swirling away with the snow,
I heard youre with somebody new,
It kills me. But at least now i know.

Walking in jeans
stained with
grass
and
memories

would you listen or laugh at me
           for claiming love's an ocean?
neither a knife, nor a blindfold
                                                      .­..but a sea.
there's a human-borne catastrophe.
                       cast your eye upon those with no share.
          the contents of their buckets
are polluted and impure
                                yet all but 5%
                                goes unexplored.
do you find yourself choking in your sleep?
  why watch the waves from safe dry ground
                                                  when you could delve in deep?
do you live in fear of unchartered seas
                                                   and life still left unfound?
are you overheating if only not to drown?
we 'love addicts' are water children.
i run outside and taste the rain.
  let's go! let's drink! let's swim! let's bathe
                   and watch it seep into our pores
                         -- it escapes me how you stay indoors!
