Wish for a boy who's in a band
who holds guitars but not your hand
and dream of making wishes plans
but darling please just understand
don't be too sad if you can't
see, he's a boy in high demand
look, here come all his other fans!
who feel the same and want the chance
to close the space from where they stand
to be close like that slim mic stand
to win the boy in high demand
*~A.B.
C'mon....we can all relate
*Despite the long title this poem is not for any member of FOB ****

EDIT 10/1/6 ; THIS IS **** ***** WHY'D I POST THIS

Stopped at a red light,
no one else around.

You roll down the window,
there's not a single sound.

You look into the darkness,
you look into the night,
you scream,
yah you cy
yah you scream

I wish I'd ******* die

April 14th
it would be so simple,
to step back into that dream

April 16th,
one class,
                monster +

April 17th (halfway) squirrel + Nat's BDAY @Avery? Gin + Tonic
Max is in the corner, coughing
up blood
world town above our heads
mushrooms and pipe dreams
sad poetry with your
guns up
birthday cards,
gin + tonic
your eyes never left
my face
couple of lovers left
__ before the sad sets in
I love the straight of
your nose + the set of your mouth
smoky lights outline
the night
guys are ***** w/ red
solo cups
sorry, he's too drunk
keep going till the
goldschlagger

locked out of our house
on our way to the angel's
kitchen

here's to Nat
tall like a tree
and just as wise,
quiet kind (and quite the friend)

Kady is almost here
Max left as I took my seat
stream of consciousness, drunken stream of consciousness

here's to long silences followed by awkward conversation,
vague civility and hookah smoke,
wasted afternoons and drunken nights

I'm not sure why exactly that,
I thought things would end different for us,
You with your silver wings,
And me, here on the ground.
But that's exactly what I thought:
"Things will be different for us,"
God, how could I be such a fool?
we all want what we can't have

I still remember how it hurts to say your name. It burned like acid, filling my mouth and running to the back of my throat. But now it doesn't burn anymore. It feels empty. And that's what you are. An empty space in my existence.
I found this in an old diary. Just thought about publishing it.

You're all I think about it's driving me insane. You're all I care about, I wish I had never heard of your name. You're in and out of my life like a summer breeze through a house. You say you want a great guy but you just keep knocking me down... But at the same time you don't want me to date anybody you ******* ****. You just want me to be on stand-by while you go out and have your fun! but when the party is over and everybody's gone, you always come running back to me, but this time **I'm done.

i'm lost in a maze of gyri and sulci
tiptoeing over memories
triggering reflexes still out of my control
over an irreparable foundation
what is the use in trying to piece scraps together
when the final product is no work of art
but an unpalatable ******* of a thing
that once was called love

We sit in class and "learn"
We "learn" how to write a paper,
or how to calculate the distance from the sun,
or that "datum" -is the singular of data.

But we never learn how to pull ourselves off the floor,
or how to write a resume to pay off those college loans,
or how to simply love yourself.

Fill my head with mindless facts and I will regurgitate them back to you.
Tell me to love myself, be my self, and be financially secure,
only then will I stare blankly at you and say
"How?"
I'm in astronomy and my professor just taught us the word hypothesis...
