I'm tired of fighting myself
emotionally drained
unsustained
with empty promises i
will contract some sanctity
for you
these words lack the luster
to get you back to me
in my arms
in the home of your soul
i've gone off the rails.
a narrow minded walk through the
paths life has to offer
living for others
without a true lover
i don't know what i need
to make it out alive
who am i kidding,
we all lose at this game
called life
our time runs out
call it quits,
86
don't push it, baby
you've gone too far
100 words down
a few billion more to go
until i run out
they've lost their flow
live
without
death is only a horizon
and i'm ready for my ships
to set sail
i'm ready for
my suns to set
they call it a gift,
some kind of magic
don't waste it,
lose it
a shot in the dark
a walk in the park
a day to remember
and a night to forget
God wouldn't save her
if it came down to her last breath
hide the knives and
hide the drugs from me
i am a hazard to society
i am a hazard to myself
crazy.
