Fill the sky and shine a light
Make this night starry bright
Unveil this shy, bashful moon
Remove it from it's cozy cocoon

Crack the sky and split the air
Make it tear and fire a glare
Ignite it with lightning and screams
Terrors will be your dream themes

Burn us down and slay us all
**** us crawling and let us fall
Never build your towers up
Drink from your poisoned cup

And when we're all dead and gone

Fill the sky and shine a light
Make this night starry bright
Unveil this shy, bashful moon
Remove it from it's cozy cocoon

Ignorance is bliss
Yet I must admit
Arrogance kisses
Much sweeter indeed

Like a sweater in snow
Your mother is cold
The pattern is checker
Move to New Mexico

The antelope of old
Yet stories seen
On a blanket bold
In yellow and red
Written 18 February 2016... another gibberish poem

I met my muse this morning
I put a bullet in her heart
She knew too much
But now I can't write

Oops

An apple fell from a tree
As I tried to breathe
The color violet
Which I thought was brilliant
But it filled me with rabbits
Who wanted some porridge
From this refrigerator door
Which I meant to plant in my living room
So I could marry my little loving broom
Which was pink and red and dusty
Like a flowing dove in the sky
Flittering bright and high
Only we live to sleep
In bathtubs of clay
Which I'm okay
As they are deep
Written 18 February 2016... it's a gibberish poem, not meant to make sense.

So I'm bad for having a bleeding heart?
I'm supposed to have no heart like you?
Turn a blind eye to the suffering and agony?
Chase my own ambitions, leaving the weak to die?

No

I'm not a forlorn person like you
Maybe I'm being taken advantage of
But I'll make that sacrifice every time
It's not worth the price if I'm wrong

Your dissolved hope has poisoned your inner self
And you reek of the stench of apathetic death
How many bodies do you pass without even caring?
You are an abysmal blight upon humanity

Maybe you're just too scared to care
Maybe you're just too scarred to care
But I have my own terrors
But I have my own scars

What's your excuse, again?
Written 18 February 2016... these days I feel like I'm just like her... worse...

I give everything I have
Still it's not enough
My heart hates me
Because I always let it down

I really want to throw in the towel
I don't want to try and love anymore
It never really works out anyway
I don't have anything to lose

Like a sad melody sung by a guitar
Or a mournful symphony from a violin
A heartbreaking tune from a piano
My loving eyes grieve in beauty

An empty bed embraces me again
A lonely heart beats within again
So much love lost from me
Leaked through the cracks

It gets easier
But you gotta do it everyday
That's the hard part of it
