I sit still
with my mind in a haze
a state of dullness
trapped within this cage
I'm in a place
not too far away
from here
can't really say
can't really stay
with nothing to give
nothing
to give
yet,
I pay the price
in change
I'm not the same person
to
never settle
just get up and go
Nowadays I lay back
and go with the flow
so tell me

Tell me how many times
do I
got to tell
you
that I'm so tired
of waiting for you to
see me through
see me
for me
this,
loneliness is
so ******* crippling.

I sit here
And let my mind wander
Down silly paths
Pondering the past
Wondering why some things
Last
A shadow casts
My silouhette trying to stand
Tall
But small
Is how I feel
As I fall
To knees pleading
I'm not really sure how I'm feeling
These days, become all the same
Mundane

Let the feeling flow
come and go
right through me,
through me

Encapsulate,
recreate
this energy we're feeling

Frequencies
to the 10th degree
so drop the ego
and come vibe with me

Recharge your mind
let the light
intertwine,
Frankenstein the vibes through a stitch
penny-pinch the last of it

Hold on tight,
it's alright to feel alive,
just keep in mind...
life's not as real
as we think it is.

I feel alone in this storm,
this mess
this silent chaos,
unexpressed
not willing to swallow my pride
I hide
behind waves of smiles
waves of lies
pretending
to be afloat
as my vision splits
in half
of what I let you see
those gentle waves
that try to carry me
but underneath
I’m being pulled
by strong currents
dark and cold
trying to drown me
though,
I try to wait it out
waiting for the drought
but I can only tread for so long

Hop
      Skip
and  a
                         jump

my heart skips
to the rhythm of hop scotch

Tickles and giggles
as we roll around in the grass

then pause

to gaze into the wispy zoo of white
lost
in your sky blue eyes

Sweeping my thumb
across your bottom lip

coy dimples
you show

third eye
you kiss

Fleeting glances
into one another's soul

I surrender

letting my emotions go

Waves push me over
And swept me away
into your sea

I am bound up in this affection

this

Love

You want to give to me

Wrapped up in the warmth
of your arms

your kisses
are seldom few

It's a new day

a fresh peak into

the eyesome future

of you.

You see,
    there’s this thing
   about you…
   …in the way that you chew
words
so effortlessly

Stomach
on    empty
after you spewed
  all   over   my   sleeve

Where I wear
my heart
  no courtesy
  to  wipe  it  clean

You would let it
stain
if it weren’t for the
       rain
to wash it
                   away.

Difficulties arise
competing with
all of these
fallacies
surrounding me

We're incomplete
receiving till we overheat
technology's consuming me

Because what you see
it isn't me
it isn't me
system's overloading

We've got to dilate our minds
- disconnect to reconnect -
evaluate your time.
