Religious freedom
Ceases to be
An excuse
You can use
When you make
The mistake
Of thinking with it
You can take
Other people's
Freedom
Away from them

I was going to write a poem
but I just ran out of ink
I had the stanzas lined up nice,
I know I did, I think

It said how much I loved her,
and that she had gone away
Rhymes about my broken heart,
how it was here to stay

One verse filled with crying,
those endless falling tears
While hiding neath the covers
afraid to face my fears

Another said I miss her,
my days had all turned gray
There was no sun, there was no moon,
just sadness on display

I mentioned how I need her,
life will never be the same
Saying I was sorry,
that I knew I was to blame

My entire world is empty
and I couldn’t take much more
She’d always be my every thing,
the one I would adore

I really hoped to write it,
though I know she’d never see
These feelings that I’d write about
so deep inside of me

So now I’ll just forget it,
nothing else to do, I think
Except to sit here with my pen
that’s just run out of ink
Does goodbye feel like
Turning on your laptop
Writing pages and pages
Of a perfect story you’d imagined
With the happiest of endings
And forgetting to save it?

Does goodbye feel like
Buying a one way ticket
To a faraway place
And finding out the airline
Lost all your belongings
Somewhere along the way?

Does goodbye feel like
Two tender kisses
One on each cheek
From mom and dad
As you board a train
And hope to see them again?

Does goodbye feel like
Locking a piece of yourself
To a bridge somewhere in Paris
Only to watch it collapse
Under the weight of your soul?

I don’t know.

Yours felt like I’d witnessed
The last of the sunny days of summer
And only realized it too late
When the rain began to pour
*And it never, ever stopped falling.

Dark soul
one must have chaos in oneself
to give birth to a dancing star
Fancy suits and fancy cars
Rooms full of people, empty places
James Dean, Heath Ledger, Robin Williams
Real money, fake lives, empty faces

As role models or investments
All these people are looked upon
Coffee, drugs, take another shot
I know it hurts, the show must go on

Lights, camera, action
Acting on and off set
Caged birds , flying high
Their only pause was death
Watched the movie 'Life' about James Dean and got inspired. I recommend it, it's a beautiful movie.
