God is good. **** polytheists.

if I were to kiss you,
would you pull away?
if I were to touch you,
would you do the same?
if I were to love you,
would you love me back?

no amount of poetry could
even amount to the feelings I
have for you.

The days are fading
But my heart’s still breaking
I’ve been trying so hard to move on
But I’m still chasing
I’ve seen better days
And I’ve seen the worst of them
I know it’s over but I
Still wish that I am wrong

Because I.. I haven’t moved on
I know there’s a place and time
Where the sun still shines
And we’re going to be strong
We’ll be close together
And nothing will tear us apart
We’ll be standing side by side
Holding close, each others hearts
I know that one day..
Everything’s going to be okay

The clouds are forming
And I think they’re here to stay
They’ve been coming fast now
Since the day you walked away
I still remember
Just like it was yesterday
All of the things we used to do
When we were still together
Your love was all I needed
Whenever things got tough
But now that my arms are empty
And I can’t feel your touch
I close my eyes and I think of us..

Because I.. I haven’t moved on
I know there’s a place and time
Where the sun still shines
And we’re going to be strong
We’ll be close together
And nothing will tear us apart
We’ll be standing side by side
Holding close, each others hearts
I know that one day..
Everything’s going to be okay

Everything’s going to be okay
All the clouds will begin to move
The sunshine’s going to shine through
And I’m going to have somebody new
He’s always going to be there for me and
He’ll never cause a tear to fall
I’ve waited on you for too long
I guess it wasn’t meant to be
But I know that I am strong now
And I’m letting go completely..

Because I .. I finally moved on
There was never a place and time
And the sun doesn’t always shine
We’re never going to be close together
And we were really never that strong
Everything tore us apart
We were never side by side
You were holding both our hearts
But I know now finally
That everything is going to be alright

…I’m going to be just fine
…I’m going to be alright
…I still have all my pride
…and I still have plenty of light

Takes a picture of oneself,
And deletes it.

We all want to be immortal
and want to be remembered
but what people
fail to understand is that
if you do become famous
and if you do become
known around the world
you are hurting this world
and you are scarring it

the only way to be remembered
is unfortunately by scarring the world
and scarring hurts the world
so in the end
people who want to be remembered
are finding it necessary to harm the world
to be remembered and that is not
remembering a dead person
that's remembering their
deeds, which were wrong
and which hurt the world.

She said,
"you won't believe what I'm looking right now.
The flames must be fifteen ******* feet above the roof"

And I went outside and I could see the plume of smoke like it was a block up from the house
so I ran back in and got everyone out of the house and we hopped in the car and sped off
toward
the flames
-just like a gruesome car accident-
and when we finally came within a few blocks it looked like the revolution
gone and started without us
people were running and jumping fences
to get closer to it.
So we got out and started running
through back alleys
and back yards
and suddenly, we came around a corner
and there it was.

They said the building was abandoned, that no one had been inside when it started.
It wasn't much of a building now.
It was a skeleton
and the flames were maggots picking it clean.
Inside was like the brightness of the sun
and the fire crews were giving it all the water in the world
to little avail.
Gigantic plumes of tiny embers were jetting from its open ribs into the twilight-
falling all over houses and businesses

and all I could think was
"what if it
doesn't
stop?
What if this is it? and it can't be contained?
and the whole
city
goes down with it?"
We were standing in the middle of a riot ready to happen-
it was like a backdraft-
an explosion minus one ingredient-
a single exhaled breath.
So what if this is it?
What if the end starts right here, right now?

So I began to root for the fire, not the firefighters.
I prayed for it to collapse
and eject all that hot ash over everything
to end us all.

But it didn't.
and after fifteen minutes or so the firefighters were winning.
So we turned on heel
and we hobbled home.

Live to fight another day.
