It is drawn to life in seconds
I never thought of it fast enough
I circle around the room all night
As the bass surrounds my cranium
For now, I tackle my problems
Allow them to escape this planet
I make love to the thought of peace
Cradle the vibrations of sound waves
Eat up the ******* truth of it all
Can you come around the front?
I'm not sure how much longer
I'll last in this planetary hell
Working like a pack mule til I die
Sounds like a **** bore to me
My lips encircle the lips of another
A beautiful blue-eyed fantasy
He's such a confusion, she's such a rush
My body wants more of the truth
It craves a taste for it
I love the sound of desire
I want you to pacify my weakness
Make me a man with a purpose
Envelop my mouth with an answer
Make it as satisfying as you, as the truth

I saw a ship when you passed
It made me wonder so much
About what we meant
Was your ghost with me
During or after it all?

In the light of day
I find myself gazing
At what-once-was
And at night I cry
A howl of pain and misery

It wasn't your fault, my love
I knew better than to wish it away
When the weight is dropped
I am stuck with memories
Of your living nightmares
Oh my god, I ******* it all up
It was lost and now is found
I want to slip away from this
I can't live with reminder notes
At the nightstand of my lonely bed

I'm forever filled with a hole inside
A misery-soaked life, slowly but surely
Dead.
Jacob Mar 2016
I see it
A change is taking place
The good in all is nowhere
Every life is taken for granted
Memories are strung together
In a lost papier-mâché craft
Gaining dust in a Kindergarten classroom
Where the boys and girls of tomorrow live
In a crazed life filled with
Devices and contraptions
It makes us all feel blue
But we caused it
What we see is what we want
We see what we caused
We kissed the sweet lips of evolution
And it opened its legs to innovation
Save the stress for later
We'll all worry about it another time
When silver bullets are sprouting
In the garden of our beautiful
African-American brothers and sisters
And a disillusioned land of education
Save them from this misery
Such a shame that we gave our best
Now you see it -- our paradise is ******.

In the grand scheme of life
You see me, a lost dreamer
Standing on the periphery and
Fantasizing at what might be
Genius it is to live someone else's life

Then I found him, in all his scars
He was a kind soul trapped in beauty
And I found him, oh how lovely it was
I never thought I'd be so lucky
In all my circumstances to be given
Such a beautiful man, such a warm heart

It is us, all of us, nothing but us
He shares his life with me, and I accept
If this should be true, I accept all
I will take his love in my palms,
Caress his purity and die right there
In a blanket of protection and serenity
All is not lost, just found in him.
Jacob Feb 2016
Those feelings were never built to last,
I should have known a long time ago
I would flow like the wind,
Living without a purpose
But I was happy

Nothing to do, nothing to prove
So I would take off into the sky.
Soaring without a clue.

Seven billion people,
and not one voice.
Jacob Nov 2015
Before the years of bitterness
He was a boy with innocence
In this innocence, he lived happily
Looking through his books,
Longing for nothing

It was a funny thought
To think anything less
He had no clue what it was
Nor did he imagine it
He simply enjoyed his happiness
In the way that little boys do

Today I live as a lunatic
By simply looking at someone
For more than five seconds
A cry of assault can be heard
From a range of six miles
In every suburb, district, nation
And a group of hypocrites
To tell you to remain pure

I once saw life as an expression,
As it should be seen
You can question many things
Except love
I don't just want happiness--
I want a life of passion

How can they expect me to make magic
With these bursts of time they give to me?
