Crush, Crush, Crushed
Layne Nicholson Aug 2017
I have a crush, she's quite witty
I have a crush and it's misery
I have a crush, she's quite the beauty
I have a crush and it's killing me
I have a crush, she's not sworn to me,
I have a crush and we cannot be.

I have a crush, it will be the end of me.

Ghost In the Machine
Layne Nicholson Aug 2017
Millions of shadows rushing past
Fleeting contact, sparks in the void
Only a smallness of reason and rhyme
We talk in circles whilst
Not smiling beyond the veil of light
A tangled web we've chosen to weave
Now our relations are binary.
Just a number, a user ID
Lost in the machine,
I become
A lone,
Me.

The Chase
Layne Nicholson Aug 2017
One sweet mourning
I've got the ticks
Waiting for Him to bring a fix
Sweet beads of anguish down my face
I hear the door and
I'm ready for a chase

I'm the next day
They see I've got that spike in my vain
Try to hard to get to heaven
Now I'm young and vanished
And the family is tremblin'

Dad says,"I'll **** a man sent my young one off to heaven."
Nobody knows
That it's sadder unimagined
The mourning passes,
the casket buried.

Two years later, brother, brother
arrested.
Intention to sell
Dad says it's just his hell.

— The End —
