"Love is like war; a breeze to start,
But seems so very hard to stop"
The feeble *****, or 'loving' heart
Can lead you thrice over the top.

It'll throw you first, then let you fall
And let you take the longest climb
But then you'll give the jump your all
To make it work so well this time

"Where there is love, then there is life"
Then why do I feel I'm near death
I wish that you could be my wife
Through every storm, to the last breath

I feel like you are still the one
Despite the time that's passed us by
We've both made turns looking for fun
But really they've just made us cry

"Life without Love is bad as a tree,
A tree without blossoms or fruit"
I want to reap harvest as big as can be
But without you here, its all just minute

Oh I can see the simple truth
We are not meant to be apart
I wish I could return to youth
At least I'd then be in your heart

It's a blessing and a shame
A title with no name
I really wasn't trying to play
And I really wasn't trying to stay.

We got more serious than I really thought we would
We talked every night, more than we really should
It made us feel like adolescents
Even when all these obstacles were present
Grew fat on conversations all the way from texas
And now I don't reply, your inbox's anorexic

Don't shed one more tear and let go of your fears
Enjoy every second, they quickly disappear
There's so much more to fulfill you with enjoyment
Life is so much sweeter, when you enjoy your every moment
I'm sorry that I hurt you, i can see you grieving
And there's nothing I can do, I just hope that you believe it  
Only thing I can do, is advice you to move forward.
I'll forever cherish the thought of you, I'm sorry this is over...

The sound of leaves
Listen as they whisper
To the wind of trees
Blow through the forest on through sorrow
Leaves that fall given back life they borrow
Wonder of the silence
And the subtlety of nature at rest
A moment of virtue
That remains uncaressed.
Beauty of endless autumn breezes
And cold quiet winter freezes
The birth of spring when nature reignites
And the setting sun of summer nights.
Stars gaze the earth as we gaze them
Wonders reflecting one another
Eyes, silver stare sight
Shining bright in the watery night
Like a silent black sea unbroken
Holds most beautiful words unspoken.

You wake up early already feeling an itch behind your eyes and at the base of your spine.
behind your throat. Sweating but **** - it's November and you had the window open. Four cups of coffee and seven cigarettes to start the day. A tip: if you put your hands in your pockets then nobody can see them shaking.
"You look hungry. Eat something."
force down a McMuffin or two at noon and a ham sandwich before work. Drive the car.
that night work is noise.  The shift ends with a paycheck.
Go withdraw thirty bucks. Find some *****.
"A guy's gotta cut loose."
a guy's gotta be cut off.
***** this ***** that
twisted up so tight. wound around the bend. coffee and the dashboard lights. Radiation.
three AM fumbling with the keys - alone under a street light at the bus stop
wake up to the tv playing infomercials. Shower. Now repeat.

every letter and sweet word spill'd  
all the songs written and the one's that you will
lines of devotion and feelings unconstrained
emotions spent on strangers who betrayed
----------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------------------------------------­------------
you wasted your "i love you's"
                                                   on somebody else
they went and broke your heart
                                                   a pain you shouldn't have felt
now i'm standing here lonely
                                                   heart left on the bottom shelf

'cause you wasted all "i love you's"
                                                   on somebody else
------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------------------------------------­----------------
understanding the struggle of giving too much away
i understand the reasons why you'd feel so afraid
writing this down now 'cause i've too much to say
but i'm begging you now, please don't keep me at bay

...

how can i convince you that i'm for real?
how shall i explain the way that i feel?
you bring the sunshine after the rain
and every time i look at you i fall all over again
-----------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------
but you've wasted your "i love you's"
                                                          on somebody else
who went and broke your heart,
                                                 a pain you shouldn't have felt
now mine is yours to claim,  
                                                 but you've placed it on the shelf
"cause you wasted your "i love you's"
                                                                ­           on somebody else

I won't spit out your bones.
Instead I'll carry them,
nestle them under my throat, bear
them like I bore my love for you:
That is, carelessly,
cutting at my throat and ******* until
my forearms stain and an earthquake
thunders down, showcasing the other
fossils I have buried before you.

I dance to the beat

That life flings at me.

I am a bit foolish

And suicidal,

But nonetheless

Your grace

Inspires me

To be calm;

And yes,

I confess,

A bit sloppy.
