Blue eyes beckoned,
While your gravity gripped.
I got pulled in and
Swept up by your universe.
Then, without warning,
The gravitational pull failed.
And I fell so hard.
When I reached the ground,
I shattered.
The wind gathered up the pieces
And spun me around and around
It’s storm.
I have yet to touch the ground.

A pocketful of stars
An arm full of old scars
A crumbling heart,slowly falling apart.
A head full of dreams
A world that is never as it seems.

Caged like an animal you are
Living every night and day
In
Captivity. I offer this advice; Life is                            
Hard, Love hurts, and it's
Everyman for himself.

Words slip past my lips
and around the earth while
the sword taps at my heart.

Jars of all shapes and sizes
Filled with nuts and bolts
And other forgotten things.
******* by their tops into the ceiling
In my fathers work room withA half dirt floor.  
We used the jars’ contents
To put together mouse traps
That never caught any mice.
With ***** drivers and wrenches
And tools I never knew the name of
That adorned the floor and walls.

You were late again.
She was yelling.
Light seeped under my door with words that came out in a roar.
I was supposed to be sleeping.
You were supposed to be home.
I pulled the covers over my head,
Overcome by feelings of dread.
Your voices grew louder and louder
Doors slammed and all became quiet.
I was supposed to be sleeping.
You were supposed to be home

Loose lips sink ships
And baby,
This ship is going down
I’m burning bridges to the ground
And baby, I’m not looking back
