skipping stones
i've lost my mind
can we just take a second

in this place
waiting for my phone
can you imagine

i've lost the rippled fade
i've lost the count of time
i'm deep in your embrace
can we keep the static lines

dreams
last a second
smell like earth and i fall apart
it seems
like every minute our whispers
lose from the start

It's not like....
I'm in this plain existence,
You feel....
and i breathe

Can we dance to harmonies
Can we frolic to and fro
Can we live like war and peace
Can we disco

you would think that a friendship like
ours was indestructible.
you would think that friends as close
as we were would always
drift right back to each other.

i know that you weren't intending to
repair the rift between us,
but i'd been hoping - and you knew it.
you know me.

i was stupid, i was hoping.
but you've disappeared again,
and i feel like a fool.
i only have myself to blame.

You will always be that person
People never truly change
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
It can only switch around and rearrange

Fall ending, seasons shift
Autumn colors swiftly fade
Trees blown bare, raging wind
Yellow leaves turning brown, decayed

Deep down empty thoughts
Anxiety hides in wait
Any comfort you give
Will come a little late

A world hidden in your eyes
It is there but hard to see
Its dark depths I will not explore
You just won't reach out to me

I do not want to make you talk
But it is hard not to pry
Lies sit around every corner
Keep trying not to cry

Miss the way you held my hand
And how we used to smile
Now that you are with her
It wont be like that for awhile

I hope it gets better
Feelings finally fade away
So I can actually mean it
When I say "I'm okay"
The most common lie told is "I'm fine"

I ask you out to grab some drinks,
You make my heart smile with your glimpse,
You lose your mind, jump and scream,
Accompanied with songs and melodies

I pretend, I like your stupid hair,
You want me to treat you with special care,
You say, things should be equal and fair,
I’ll keep telling you nice words, my dear.

My heart is where it wants to be,
Take it easy and pass me your key,
Listen your heart, set yourself free,
I want to lay by, to hear you breath.

For the second date, I slip away,
You give me your heart and fade away,
You read this poem and get freaking gray,
You are the wheel  destined to fray.

Do I sense them flying all around?
Just a possible outcome
of neurons criss crossing
into paranoia.

How do I transmit these frequencies?
If not I, then why you?
Each proportional stance,
attempting to make an advancement.

Sounds more like daydreaming,
but you hear me in your head,
Right?
Poke. Poke. Poke it goes.

Invisibility makes its stance.
The body can wither,
but thought
Now
Are outside and
Non physical

Forgive me..
I lost my train of thought.

Where all a collection
              of dead stars.
This is why we burn
so brightly for a finite time.

And when we burn out
             where just faded
reminisce of universal reflection.


Never let your shimmer fade,
               because we are only
                                    moments

Fading within a lifetime
                of memories
                 that like stars dim.

We gaze at sunsets.
Fascinated by their beauty,
but we know they fade.

From being that little ******* the playground with no friends.
To growing up with only a few imaginary friends.
Little did this little girl know,
was that she wasn’t in this world alone.

From trying to play “catch me if you can”
with her imaginary friends.
She soon realized that it
wasn’t such fun after all.
Because her imaginary friends
would soon, very much, slip away.

Little did she know that school time
would just fly on by.
Little did she know
that she would soon pack her bags & hit the road.
Little did she know
that her imaginary friends would, as well, go.

She trusted that they would stay.
Never did she think her imaginary friends would slip away.
Slip away from the past they once knew,
back when all she had was you.

I am not feeling okay
The thoughts that were at bay
Are starting to weigh
Heavy on my mind
Heavy on my heart.

My thoughts start to sway
Guiding me astray
With its
overplay
and overstay.

Pieces of me
Start to fall away
Fade away
Further away.

I am starting to breakaway;
Flay away.

My mind frays
As my thoughts start to play,
my hands start to pray
And my words start to blow away
the people I hold so dear.

I will defray
Soon
But for now I am going to splay
my ache into words.
