From the top of the world, to it's bottom depths. It's never enough it's always less.
Life is a game some people play,to one up each other to live that way.
Success isn't measured by any degree, by any posesesion or tangable need.
It's by the want of what others and what they percieve.
Even a king is little better than a pawn, just remember after checkmate in life the game goes on.
This game of chess has been such a battle
To hold unto what's ours was the strategy
Taken the pawns moved out one by one
Her knights stood in armor defended by bishops
Rooks fall outside her heart walls of this castle
So its stalemate with no more moves to pace
When king & queen can't even meet face to face
She surrenders to him as that was her fate
Moot point to him for the queen to make
So she moves forward to concede & bow
As the king has never given her his vow
game over
what about these broken bones
sings of love?

what about me sipping my coffee
slowly whispers anything?

you practice being starry eyed
in the mirror.
I sleep until noon.

there are oceans between us.
what doesn't **** me
makes me really wish it did
