He stood with his face to the firey blaze,
The background sooty and ashy,
He told her "everything was alright, it's okay."
Violent flames lashing and smoke wisps vanishing,
It's just that...every second leads to something,
A cough, a rash...a blank wall...then some monitors,
Then you're dead, it's the same thing every time,
So why not live for good? Why not breath the air
Like you've never gotten the chance to know how,
To run like children into the woods...

*...or you're dead already.

You turned out to be real "cute," sure,
I'm the one who's need of love is impure,
I'd like to tell you how I feel
Before this banquet becomes my last meal.
Huzzah! I'm past the point of no return,
Only space is left in for our concern,
You could care less what I think it's my eyes
That wait on your every word until I can blink,
Don't forget that pain you put into me!
All you said was "don't come over, don't bother,
No I don't want to see you or hear from you again,
I've already got a "perfect" boyfriend till the end.

Many forms of pain they come and go, you know,
But that pain it follows me wherever I may come or go.
Until the end of time...forever after...into tomorrows of tomorrow,
I feel nothing but hurt, loss, despair and endless sorrow...

Sleep! it says...
Where? I ask...
There! it says...
Where? Where? Tell me where? I ask desperately
YOU MISSED IT! it says, screaming back at me...
just another sleepless night....

When you left me, I shattered. Shattered like a broken mirror. Leaving me to stare into my own tear-stricken complexion. A reflection of a girl who used to be happy, bright eyed, cheerful. Now the only shine in my eyes are the tears you left me. Looking at me now, you'd think I was a totally different person. The person you made me to be. You took the love I so willingly gave you and crumpled it into wasted youth, tossing me into a wastebasket of every heart you've ever broken. Now, I'm one of them. A distant memory. An unimportant detail. Just another face in the crowd. And yet I STILL love you. And no amount of inconsolable tears will EVER change that.

Lies
Love
Fear
Faith
Secrets
Seashells
Daydreams
Vast blue oceans
Running in fields
Fireflies in mason jars
Cliffs overlooking the sea
Raindrops on misty panes of glass
The sound of the wind through the trees
The crisp crunch of autumn leaves beneath feet
The rush of feeling during the culmination of a song
Blurred colors and flashing light through the car windows
Forests filled with ancient relics from another time
Dancing alone with the music blasting loud
Adventures to nowhere in particular
The mystery behind the ruins
Slow dancing with a stranger
The sound of crashing waves
Nations I’ve yet to visit
Burnt orange sunsets
Pages in old books
Crackling fires
Constellations
Howling wind
Empty rooms
Guitar strings
Graveyards
60 degrees
Piano keys
Pleasure
Gain
Loss
Pain.
My head is a chaotic place.

A long time ago we'd go on outings
To see the natural world in all it's glory
I never really appreciated it enough,
Now after all this time I'm in mourning,
Life is but a blank wall, a passing day,
A pay check, a distant smile, sometimes,
I laugh when the timing is right anyway,
A solemn quiet giggle, waiting in food lines,
Doesn't it seem over the years something changes?
Every day just goes on to become a blur,
Nothing but vagabonds, hustlers and strangers,
I wonder what would be if natures voice were heard?

Seeking answers, help, I cry out, but no one is here for me,
Warmth, sunshine, the fresh ocean breeze, clouds floating,
It's all I can do to try to remember the rushing river, the path,
The fresh grass with the morning dew, free to choose ******.
It's all anyone can do. No one else seems to care but me,
I guess it's not very important to love nature, but hey,
At least you can always count on it being solid and free.
Everyone loves this country, everyone worships it,
It's imposing laws, it's noisy planes, it's pollution,
They never seem to be bothered by it one bit.
But me, I'd rather disappear than go on like this for life,
I need to find an unreal miracle magical solution,
Lucky me...no one shares my wish to move, my dream...
Just a memory!

Migrains are physically debilitating  and mentally inextinguishable
Ive suffered for many years with these and underwent everything known to man with no answers. I must not lose hope.

Vex
Wandering endless notions,
That stream as bond-less
Oceans of senseless thought.

Ideas break rock
Shore upon sour melodies;
Stricken
Notes beyond key and lock.

Forgone, to lack of bond,
The ringed capacities.
Broken
In those endless seas,
too long sought.

I'm awake for the moment.
Lingering into forever.

I'm over tired - but in this state I'm wired.
Energy surging - unatural vigor.
Naturally extracted and abused.
This stuff it calls me and begs.
Not to be refused.

Take a shot maybe two.
Open your eyes wide.
Keep them there just like glue.
Bring you to the early hours.
Daybreak and no sleep.
No off button to the mind.
It always ends crashing in a big heap.

Coffee how you affect me.
