Sleep is overrated

And very much outdated.

The internet--

Is where "it's at"--

And that's all I have to say.

That is where I live,

It is where my stare is giv'n

I watch the screen--

Till spots I've seen--

And my contacts are all dry,

I'm not gonna lie.

I'll be online until I die.

I once had a dream dream
that we fell in love
And we lived in bliss bliss
among clouds and stars and dove
But then I did wake up up
with a mournful sigh
For my lovely dream dream
had kissed me sweet goodbye
I choked back my rash tears tears
and thought about my dream
Could it e'er be true true
or were my hopes extreme
So I watched you stride stride
on a winter's day
Just finished with a class class
head bowed from snowy spray
I saw you soon look up up
to see me standing there
You gave a dashing smile smile
and waved with honest flair
I felt my knees grow weak weak
and my heart beat fast
I did my best and smiled back
as you walked on past
Hope blossomed in my heart heart
as I watched you walk
Maybe in your heart heart
love's begun to knock
As I went back home home
and lay my head for sleep
I hoped my lovely dream dream
would into life now creep

Crying again.

I sent my heart away

          It

came

        back

in

      pieces

The realization comes to me gently—like knives

GULLIBLE

Drip—

Drip—

Drip—

Water falls from the faucets my eyes have become

I wear a mask with a smile carved in it

He.Walks.By.

The mask slips off and shatters on the floor as he disappears

I step on the fragments—

Letting the reality seep through me like blood on the ground

Forget. Move on. Heal.

A needle and thread appear in my hand

As I pick up my heart and begin to mend.

How can a person's heart erase
A memory of a warm embrace

Could time ever stop its flow
to heartbreak as I watch you go

I turn away.

Don't watch me keep my tears at bay

I know that we will meet again
But Winter seems to never end

Darker bleaker grows each day
I do too in misery

Alone I stay.

Are you but a dream to me?

I lay down in the grass
And gazed upon the weeds
I wish I could just float away
Like dandelion seeds
They start life bright and yellow
But when they want to go
They dance and spin and steal the breeze
Upon it they do flow
It’s so unfair
I did declare
Before plucking one said stem
Dandelions have all the fun
And in anger I did stare
I watched the white and puffy ****
With malice undefined
Why can’t I be a dandelion?
Life’s unfair I cried
I took a giant breath
And blew against the ****
It held for but a moment
Before escaping in the breeze
I watched the dancing seeds
And as they floated by
I snatched one quickly by the skirt
And whispered one small cry
Oh little seed please take my wish
And help it to come true
Take to the air
And do take care
Let me someday leave too
