And we will dance
until the whole world
is dancing with us.
Peace. It is contagious.
I've been through "complicated"
Its time for "simple" to take a seat-
So I looked for a job with a lot less stress
that would take me off my feet

I applied over here, and applied over there-
Finally got a stroke of luck-
Here I sit, next to the curb,
In my ice cream truck.

Mothers with their children
gather with gleaming faces-
I give the bars with nuts and toffee
to those with dental braces.

I wish I was
sober enough
to kiss you
properly
I thrive on liking.
If there's nothing to enjoy
In things, I ignore them.
Move on.

Where do you get your
Energy
? they ask,
Weary from disliking.

This *****. He's a ****.
This band is terrible.
Surrealism is too unrealistic.
There are no happy endings.

It'll all break down into pieces of
Broken love, burning.  
It always does.
He'll let me down in
The end.
They always do.


If so,
Ignore your losses.
To live a lot, you have to
Hurt a lot.
Move on.

Enjoy more of it next time.
Appreciate. Open yourself.
You'll like more.
You'll hurt less.
You'll love the movement
Of Life dancing
With the
Living.

My mere silhouette would do the trick.
I like to think that at least.
You could tell me that I'm wrong.
But you know it's right.
Doing the wrong thing always feel right,
Until tomorrow morning.
You somehow
seamlessly exceed
my expectations
time
and time
again
Tears are salty, bitter, pointless
I hate the felling they give me
I fell weak, blind, dead
So why do they keep falling from my eyes
I want you to inhale me,
gently smoke my heart.
Burn all that is left of me
Turn my soul to art.
