HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO ON LIVING
WHEN YOU'RE THE FIRST AND LAST THING
I THINK OF EVERY DAY

AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BREATHE
WHEN ALL I WANT TO INHALE IS YOUR SCENT

****
**** **** ****
**** ****

YOUR LIPS ARE ALL I DREAM ABOUT

ADN I THINK I'M WASTING AWAY
FOR WHAT IS FOOD
WHEN ALL I WANT TO EAT IS YOU

SEE, I CAN'T EVEN SPELL RIGHT
AND MAYBE THAT'S JUST MY CONCUSSION

BUT YOU'RE PUSHING OUT
EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY BRAIN

YOU'RE ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT
AND I'M SLOWLY LOSING MY WILL TO

LIVE

Junior Prom
For me, it's a time of sad excitement
Because,
While other girls have their boyfriend
And their night is going to be a
Fairytale
I'm going to be dancing my heart away,
Wishing it was dancing next to yours
You've got me crazy, girl
And sure,
Boys are nice and all,
But
They really don't compare
To
You

Some people go to church
I go to Tettegouche

With the trees as my church,
Rocks, my pews,
And the multitude of stars as my altar,
I prostrate myself on the mossy ground
Praying to the wind
To please, Keep Me Whole
And as I sit and gape,
Gape up at the stars,
Crack-
Something in me twists,
And I feel the emptiness
Pouring out of me,
Only to be replaced by What will Be
And I Know
I am here
I am whole
And life has Never Been So Good

The fog,
It hangs low over the forest,
Shrouding all in mystery and whiteness
I keep expecting to see:
A panther, stalking prey
Slenderman, tentacles whipping

Who knows what mysteries abound in these shrouded woods?
All I know is that I am glad
That I am on my bus,
Safe
And sound

Spring has truly come
The birds are bursting forth in rapturous song,
welcoming the sun, once and truly
People are coming into the store in shorts,
Their pale legs stark
Against the dark brown tiles
And me,
I feel,
Calm.
At peace.
the long winter,
It is over,
The dark has retreated,
And the sun -
It is all that remains,
filling my heart with unprecedented joy

I haven't' felt this alive in so long
And all because of some sun and warmth.

I've been thinking a lot lately,
About growing up
And what I know is this:
I don't want to grow old
Not
One
Bit

But

I imagine, that
Growing up
(Growing old)
Even though you're creaky,
And some things don't really work all too well
(Like they used to)
You have so much in you,
Hundreds of memories
Thousands of tidbits of knowledge
All accumulated over the years

So sure, I don't want to be old and creaky
But I don't think that I'd mind
Being full of wisdom

It'd be a nice change,
That's for **** sure

Oh heck
I think I tripped on your adorable smile
Because I just started falling
And I cannot stop

This is not good
Not at all,
No sirree

But, oh,
Your lips are more inviting
Than a dip in the lake during summer
And your off-key comments, they
Make me sigh like a besotted school girl

I guess there's not much I can do
I may as well let myself fall
Because if my heart's anything like my brain
It'll be too stubborn to stop pursuing what it wants
Like a barking dog pulling on a leash,
It's dragging me,
Unwillingly,
forward

Might as well enjoy the scenery
