Sometimes when I look back
It's hard to imagine
What went wrong
It's hard to imagine
How you thought this was right
It's hard to imagine
How things went so bad so fast
This was written on a night of weakness, where I indulged in thinking about the past

You have no business being here
So stop your complaining
And leave
Before I call the police
For your pathetic story
To be laughed at
Because you shouldn't be upset
When you're the one who
Caused everything bad to
Happen this evening.
I just wish I would
Have never believed
Your words because I
Warned you of the
Things that have
Occured in my past.
Now you're another lying
*******.

Do you truly know
Yourself? Look in a mirror.
How long can you stare?
Everyone else has a haiku. Why not?

i spoke to
a stranger
with a
hair-trigger
self destruct
button that
they wanted
to push:
and god,
how i wanted
to help-
but when
it came time
for me
to leave,
i left.

Death may dampen
the mind and soul
but one can
only prevent it
from eroding your heart

Today I stopped believing I was a good man
I know about these demons
All of them by name
The vices they have gifted me
Conversing with my addictions
Making plans for the future
And tightening the chains

Today I stopped believing I was a good man
I've identified all the leaks in my hull
Letting the Atlantic rush on in
Duct tape can not fix every hole
That you have left in me

Today I stopped believing I was a good man
I do not care about this body anymore
Wishing to rid myself of it
Liberation will be the song I shall dance to
Once this heart has forgotten it's rhythm
And my blood pumps in tune again
Today is the first of many
