The atoms that make up
The outermost layer of my skin
Repel yours the least
In some sort of metaphoric nuclear fusion
Though we may not release photons
With each touch
And we're not quite travelling fast enough
To create such an explosive reaction
In a physical sense
It seems that you still turn
my mass
into energy
Come sit! Let us set the world to rights!
While basking in the pale Androidian Light,
Lamenting the plights and strife of others,

"Another Whiskey?"

"Well, if it's no bother"

Raw spirit in our hands,
Raw thoughts and naive plans,
Admirable, worthy
Yet all go the way of sand.
Blown across the desert landscape
Captive of the winds command.
Awake once more
Upon moonlit shores,
The eclipse is
Suffocating,

Stood lost in thought
The star light is caught,
In nets of
Captivation.

Tracing lines in the sky
Wondering why,
We're objects of
Subjugation.

All just a lie,
Always a lie that
Justifies vindication
Find solace in solitude,
There is no shame in that.
We are unknown to ourselves
An ocean to which we delve.
Scarcely coming up for air,
Entangled in fathoms
Whirlpools of despair.
Waves of introspection
Spare us shallow reefs,
Yet cast us into darkness
And the horrors of the deep.

I took the ride just for a thrill,
I didn’t know this is what I would feel.

I pushed myself to stand up and fight,
but I fell on the ground filled with fright.

Filled with hope, I took the chance,
smiled and hoped for a better dance.

But you pushed me away like I was trash,
I’m back down the ground with just one flush.

I've been ready to wrap my arms around you, but I saw you wrap yours around someone else.

I've been willing to kiss your tears away, but you chose to let it flow as you watch her walk away.

I've been loving you and watching you from afar, but instead, you decided to love her like how I love you.

*Unconditional and hopeless.

through the dark,
you guided me
through the drought,
you strengthen me
through the fall,
you were there to catch me
through it all, through it all

through the waves,
you surfed with me
through the wind,
you flew with me
all the distance,
you traveled it all
through it all, through it all
