I crossed the line tonight,
To all, I'm already out of sight.
Unexpectedly, people started to cry,
But I had to rest; I was tired.

I silently watched
As blood continuously gushed.
I'm an immaterial essence,
But you may still feel my presence.

I beg you to not blame me,
For I have left cause of decreasing vitality.
I know, I have acted weak,
So feel free to call me a stupid freak.

Can you tell me what it's like to get old
Can you show me that page in the big book of age
Can you tell me what it's like to get old.

In your ten thousand nights can you show me the sights that you've seen
Did you love all the girls of the day?
If you did I'd be tempted to say
'these things are only told by the folks who have gotold and I'm hoping that one day, I may
age too'.

Will you tell me the secrets you know?
Whisper them sweet and real low.
If you can tell me what it's like to ride a penny farthing bike
I'll leave you alone and then off I will go.

But will you tell me what it's like to get old
When your dreams have all been borrowed or been sold
For a cold and lonely flat with
a pension and a hat, a one ring stove and a lazy cat
Did you look forward to having all of that?
Can you tell me what it's like to get old.

I am no light switch you can turn on and off

ON  
To feel the warmth inside your could damp heart
To brighten up the room so you can place your things ever so neatly inside my heart

OFF
When the heat becomes too much for you
When you need to flee to another room to turn that light on

ON
When you need to heat the sweet words that fall from my sore lips
When you need me to illuminate your day cause you had a bad day

OFF
To make sure you keep the price of the light low
Cause you don't want to invest too much in this "love"
To evade the light cause you see that I deserve more than this

I am tired of your child like hands turning me on and off
to entertain your child like mind
This light bulb is growing weak and I am growing tired of changing the bulb constantly

I think soon I will tear the switch from the wall and cut the wires and just leave
I hate this light switch between you and me

I promised you i’d plant those **** pink roses but
that Sunday morning that you broke me in ways
even my best friend didn’t think was possible

and i realized it was probably a good thing
that the whole thing was a production of strictly pretend;
a play, a script, an authors first mistake-

that day, i clipped every last flower
off and set the remains in a little drawer
with shards of glass i broke in my sleep
because i loved you every single day

despite my
i’m over you i’m over you i’m over you
that i repeated with the foolish hope of
convincing somebody that air still funnels through my lungs

and it’s come to my attention that
i’d pick my head over my heart but that is only
because i am a toy car abandoned by every single
pair of hands to wind it up and let it go

And yes, I will reduce my emotions to dust or
enlarge them in full zoom but
I cannot get over that fact that the clementines rotted in front
of us and

you devoured the part of me that let my heart reign over
my head and snapped the key to my rib cage;

you promised you would keep it safe and
you *lied

I think that sleeping with somebody
(I actually mean sleeping)
Is so intimate
Because,
Your partner
Could wake up
In the middle of the night
And **** you,
But you trust her
Not to

one idea gets you from
Thought
to
Thought
from there you expand that
Thought
until a new interesting idea appears
and you move accordingly...
until,
you find
and hit
another idea

process continues

Let my heart be your compass.  Reach my soul in the clouds.  
Let my tears lead you home and my fears etch the sky.
Take my hand, take me far.  

Feed me your dreams and your darkest thoughts.  
Don’t let my mask hold you back.  Don’t let this smile stab your sorrow.  
Guide me now, to tomorrow.

Map my body, travel its curves.  Penetrate my mind, capture its soul.  
Cloud my memory with your voice.  
Sail with me, catch my fall.

Let my words creep down your spine.  Let my tongue caress your mind.  
Give me life and paint my dreams.  
Climb my ambitions, don’t look back down.

Get me high on a beautiful nightmare.  Drown me in lust, ****** my worries.  
Steal my heart and lock it up.
Aim your arrow, shoot it straight.

things will not be well
things will be awful
things will go bad
and things will
end

let this happen
be brave
enjoy what you can
and do not dwell
on anything

roll with the waves
sway with the wind
ignore the sun in your
eyes

plant your feet
and
keep growing

the sun will rise
tomorrow
