‪I cannot wish the pain away‬
‪When you had to go and couldn’t stay‬
‪My heart could not bear to be alone‬
‪Now quiet inside my empty home‬
Walking down an empty hallway
Leading to empty rooms
I had inhaled all your essence
I was overwhelmed; consumed
A pilgrimage towards disaster
To eradicate my woes
With a bandaid for my heartache
As you made your choice; you chose

I wish I was in love
Or just the feeling of
The euphoric bliss
The sultry kiss
Together, when push comes to shove

I wish I were elite
Head down to my feet
The hero of the day
While bringing color to my gray
Completely mesmerizing
In your own special way

I have to ask
Were your feelings hurt
When I no longer was the center of your universe?
Now the stars are unaligned
We’re wasting precious time
Waiting for something better to arrive
Echo my advice
Never ask twice
For a slow dance
Or a secondhand delight

I listened to their every song
I memorized their words
Their words were certainly eclectic
While some versus were absurd
It was magically hypnotic
As far as I could tell
Their music sent me to the moon
And rescued me from hell

‪Erosion fades away‬
‪Like ripples in the lake‬
‪Smoothing out the surface‬
‪For as long as it must take‬
‪Until it fades out of existence‬
‪In a million years or more‬
‪Until the world’s a grain of sand‬
‪On Gods golden shore‬
‪A particle of a particle‬
‪At mercy to the wind‬
‪Realizing the ending‬
‪Before it can begin‬

I was always into trouble
I was never well behaved
I have secrets in abundance
I’ll take with me to my grave
There are none I’d care to speak of
No temptation to confess
Just some things for only me to know
But please feel free to guess

He surely has audacity
He’s brash, but somehow rich
He’s wired differently than all the rest
But sometimes there’s a glitch
He’s selling cars, his stocks are high, there’s rumors on the street
He’ll do away with what we say
So we must be careful what we tweet
