I'm in a world of friends
with strange faces,
hipster clothing,
and lives
that I no longer relate to

And I watch them pass me by
Like snow dunes on the side of the road

darling, it's all a matter of
perception
how you see it

looking out from
parallel shores
we are glimpses
of more
in the distance
strangers to
burnt-out street lamps
and burnt-out sweethearts

darling
it's all a matter of
persepshun
how you feel it

vibrate in your
fingertips
dance upon your
skin with needlepoint
toes
bells resonating
in your ears,
a troubled storm abrew

darling, it's all a matter of
pearshipshon
how you taste it

another glass, more
*****, please
another burning trail
down your throat
the only kind
of warmth
we know

darling,
*it's all a matter of per-cep-tion
how you use it

My demons

Another day passes,
another memory fades and
another stab in the heart.
More demons are born and
more scars are torn and my sanity
is once again, torn apart
If there are angels in the sky
well' I don't know why
Another day passes
with my demons and I

i'm in love with words,
but afraid of voices.
silence is both beautiful
and terrifying,
because thoughts just
never seem to sleep.
no one seems
to really understand,
because although
these voices
never stop talking,
the words themselves
are often too
quiet to speak.

I have more issues then
I could possibly count.
And on my worst days,
I'll go from happy to sad
in seconds.
I won't always like myself,
and sometimes I'll even assume
you don't like me either.
I'll push you away and I might
even drive you insane.
But I promise you this,
nobody could ever even think about
loving you as much as I do.
