I fell asleep, face down, in a pile of leaves to the sound of your distortion
Somehow, the crackled sounds of your guitar bring me an inner illusion of silence and peace

I miss feeling this unbreakable bond with nature
But you've been slowly giving pieces of it back to me
The leaves are crunched and tangled into my hair as I fall to the ground and send myself off into a power slumber,
walls decorated with dreams about you

The crickets can't compete with the noise of your guitar
as it's being manipulated and convinced to do exactly what you tell it to
I can't fight to stay awake
But I want to stay up a little longer and hit the play button just one more time

you must be a saint with your patience and the way you put up with me
i can't even begin to understand the way your beautiful mind works
but i'm so fascinated by everything you are

i'm a train wreck with smoke and dead bodies galore
you are the understated and unappreciated cleanup crew
underpaid, and lacking in the rewards you should be receiving

how are you even real?
i'm more amazed every time we communicate
you're every smile i've had in the last nine days
and i hope i've been at least a few of yours
Alexander, you are somethin' else...

The new boy
He makes my heart flutter
When I hear the chime of a new message
I hope that it is him
And when it is, I smile so big

His words make me feel giddy
I smirk when he winks at me
When he first held my hand
My body felt chills

Crossing my finger its the start of something wonderful
Being safe in his arms
With a peck on my forehead
Nothing else matters at that moment
To love I am led

The glowing stone in space
leaves a shadow on my face
As its front is veiled by a cloud that kinda looks like lace

There's a fork inside the tree
that allows my mind to see
a few more stars than what are out there, but it looks perfect to me

And if the sun came out to shine
I'd tell her all the stars are mine
and if she wants to have them now
she should get back into the line

I've been smacked by waves of blue
and beaten by the beaches too
but I take what I can get so I can make it back to you
I write most of my poetry at night and while outside...

dad
I was thinking about my dad and about what I want to do
And I felt his energy
Then my words were repeated in my phone "faceface" (face was my dad's nickname for me)
and the word "nownow" was repeated, as well
I took this as a message from him that it's time to do what I want with my life
As soon as this happened, I dumped out the beer I'd just opened and put out my cigarette that was almost full. It's time to make a change for the better.
