I can only give dreams to others
and build them up as they sleep,
but soon it will all fade
by mornings call to wake.

What hurts the most
is believing you can't write
So you let the demon, like the final wave
crash upon you and win the fight.

You love passion but you've forgotten its meaning,
searching for the bold letters in the dictionary like puzzle pieces.
You love something that doesn't follow the final print
So you let the ink tear away your paper mâché.

Stop feeling like one word can't mean another.

Love can mean cherished can mean adored can mean perceived.

We are lost in our meanings.

Every **** one of us.

Whether you like it or not, we are all lost.

Don't you realize it?

Wake up!

We are lost dolls scurrying in an open field trying to find the reality different from the one uniting us right now.

Look around. We are right there. You are here too. Beside us. That's you.

If you're alone, then the definition must mean we all are too. Alone together.

Unitedly lonely.

i am downing drinks
like there is no tomorrow
hoping i don't wake

Now the fog rolls over the hills
The dust in the mountains collect
Now the rays of light pierce through the blinds
Where the flowers rise

What you see
The car lights through the mist
your silhouette in the lake
the scars on your wrist
sunsets in the day
sunrises at night
Beauty in the eye of the beholder

Its quiet in the void today,
no soul came,
no soul left.
I felt the absence today.
No one to see,
no one to talk to.
I sit here crouched in my bed,
singing a lullaby.
Its quiet in my head today,
no thought came,
no thought left
                                                            ­                And here I am
                                                              ­             Among the thoughtless
                                                     ­                             Among the hated.
Its quiet today,
which most people beg for.
But not me.
I value the noise.
I value the chatter,
the useless

                                                               ­               Here I am today,
                                                          ­                with my inner silence

Here I am in this world of a thousand lies,
here i lay right in the middle,
watching it tear itself apart.
And tomorrow,
when i open my eyes,
and i see the destruction,
I will not weep.
I will shake my head in disgrace,
condemn the fallen,
and leave the world to eat itself in an agonizing conclusion.
Folks, we're reaching the end.

                                                 The silence is coming.

Life is whipping around me
And changing everything I know
When the wind stops howling, all I see
Is wreckage from what was long ago.

Emotions are ripping through my mind
My common sense has gone
Sorry is the only word I can find
When I can't feel the urge to carry on

Who I will be when I awake
I can never really tell
Who I was before leaves an ache
Reminds me of how I fell.

Fell from grace, fell from light
Fell from everything good in the world
I've been swallowed by the dark of night
And that's how my life has unfurled.

Everything is changing
Now nothing is stable or clear
My life is completely rearranging
And my death feels very near.
