I can't remember a thing I did last night,
after leapfrogging in a field drinking wine.
But, I know that it's okay, since you're here.
I know that it's okay because you're here.
You make everything feel fine.

So how embarrassing was I?
Blackout.
Did I puke before my house?
I hate not knowing but, as long as you say,
"Don't worry, you were okay."
I can relax as long as you stay.
Posting this now, hurts because it was the budding of my most recent relationship that has broken my heart.

Black out Sunglasses
The eyes are windows to the soul
What are you hiding.

Quick, while I can still think.
Please some one help me?

I think I need a drink.

My knuckles are bleeding,
My anger receading,

I wake up in a sweat,
my room is a mess.

What have I done?
There's too many regrets.

I touched His hand and
He hit me.

I ran my finger prints
over His callused thumb
over the cuts and bruises;
between the towers that were His fingers.

He gripped my tender fingertips with death
and pulled me under with his clutch.
He spilled sea foam into my ears,
filled my mouth with His salty tongue.

I saw love in shades of green and blue
heard His voice in strokes of black,
split my lip between His teeth and
washed my mouth with a copper jam.

I floated with Him for a time,
watched the waves collide over my head,
counted the grains of sand between strands of hair and
listened to reality through the heavy static of a radio.

I touched God's hand but
when I came to, they only wanted to know today's date.

I have scars on my body the origin to some I have no clue.
Some memories are a blur, and I don't know exactly what I've been through.
You're more than welcome to read my mind or hand.
I no longer have a steady stand.

The crash had changed me in ways I didn't know.
Since the crash, my brain has lost so much info.
People I've known slipped through a crevice.
Memories of mine found a way out of my iris.

I used to question my surrounding.
Now I question myself for not knowing.
I'm trying to chisel away as much blur as I can.
Each piece I break off only seems to grow larger than my wingspan.

This day and on I only hope to retain,
My new campaign even if it turns me insane.
I'm ready for what comes my way, cause there is still an airflow.
Life knocks me down and I rise back up without a halo.
I was on my way to the beach with a few friends. It's was a four car pile up. One of the cars took off. It was bad enough that the freeway I was on got shutdown. The crash was cleared up, and we spent the next eight hours stuck in Los Angeles.

Another word
                                 skids off the edge
                                                            ­            with a dull thud.
Now
                                        there's no one

but I squeeze                                                          ­     my eyes

                        and try not to focus on the things
    
                                                                ­                                          in my head.
This was blackout poetry but I wanted to share it :)

I'm a writer
Inside and out
I'm a liar
Is what you all shout
When my heart breaks
It blasts open the gates
Of the darkness within
I know I'm guilty as sin
My mind falters and surrenders
And now i can't remember
What they do
When they have control
They hurt who
I love and wish to hold
I thought they were gone
I thought i didn't have to run
Anymore
I'm so sore
Inside my frontal lobe
My spirit travels across the globe
As i'm expelled from my body
And I'm locked out
And i hurt everybody
And gut them like they were trout
Caught on a hook
Of mind totally shook
An empty shell
Confined to hell
As i wonder an look around
With my face to the ground
I erupt into a shout
Due to another blackout

I was    scared.

To become

Simply

                 thoughts


Love
                      comfort
                   ­      safe

Or      another.



       hurt




I want nothing more
Than        you happy.




It's you that matters.
If you look at my older poem, this one and the "Love is happiness" poem I made the old poem thinking about my ex, and with this I am getting rid of the words that were meant for her, and keeping the ones

It was strong, burned my throat
I tried not to make a face because everyone was starring, waiting for my reaction
I felt warm air rush through my stomach that gave me the motivation to take another shot
and then another and another
Finally the bottle was empty, and so was I
Each person there looked the same except for me
Thats how it all started, the addiction to *blackout

I was going to
do an obnoxious
blackout post but

Decided against it,
because who really
needs or wants it,
anyway

And it's in these small
ways that you affect me
