And when I'm gone, Cremate my soul, Mix my ashes with ******* So for once, in this lifetime, I'll be better than Cobain.

Bildungsroman
I have danced the dance of this flame Been lit in my own despair, But my shadow put me to shame A beacon that found me in a darkness, I thought no light could penetrate Shared my anguished heart, Then stole my love away. I have read the story of a life Lived on the edge of existence, Let down so much by those Professing only love and acceptance; I know that the end is the end For history tells me so, This is the end, my beautiful friend And the darkness envelopes you. Kurt Cobain has died again Whoever reads must live this pain, The truth has helped to shed some light But Curt Cobain must die tonight. Last chapter by my bedside lamp And I live again with the consequence.

Kurt Cobain
You found me stuck staring at rearview mirror reflections of wintry, dusk intersections of everything leaving me all at once. A forced exhale of asphyxia caged in collapsing lungs; my mouth, a fountain spring, that coughed out pools of blood. I wish I saw myself the way you saw me; not a red traffic light wounding speeding cars on winding streets, but an antique heirloom priceless enough you'd only wish you could keep in a heart-shaped box you saw in dreams. But, I'd cut my tongue, paint my lips cherry shades to blend with cells that'd stain handkerchiefs you'd offer. Make you believe this isn't going to foster because you are indecision, unfinished watercolor landscapes of summer forest fire skies, a sun-kissed Pacific wanderer. And I am true crime untouched evidence of break-ins, remains of faulty locks and lights. I am mosaics misaligned; static, seabed cracks from forgotten fault lines. Gaping fissures of sand, and salt that won't let me stitch frayed skin-deep fibres barely holding me in. Oceans would have to empty themselves into whirring cyclones and high tides for our selfish sense of touch to collide. Ice caps would have to sink deep enough to even bruise my skin. And I wouldn't want to watch more Shakespeare end before it begins. *See, I am the one with sharp edges, but why did you have to be the one to clip my wings?* There is only an abyss without a trampoline, a safety net, a bed of waterlilies, I could fall in. And I am so tired of paradoxes and ironies; of always being wanted by someone who doesn't even want to be kept, of always being mended and then left with more dislocations, and fractures, one after another each taking longer to fix. Now, in shapeless parcels, without return addresses sent out into the void these words will echo of love I never intended to borrow, and shadows of false hope you never thought yourself capable of giving away.

if only the world was as beautiful as the sound of these music, oh, how peaceful we would be- just how lovely, if only the expression of heart break in songs makes the pain easier, singers won't take their own life- yes they'll become happy; do they sing those words, screaming for help, for help from us? all we do is dance, reminisce, criticize and fantasize for the satisfaction of our souls; many have come, many have gone, their carcasses lying in graves, yeah, some fans cry while others criticize as if mockery is their only goal; if i was your lover, would you have died on me? if i was your friend, could i have been of help? maybe yes, maybe not or maybe you'll still think that dying would set you free; or maybe yes, maybe not, maybe i would inspire you to make one more living step; if only love could be as true as the love songs we hear, we would be watching the sunset with the type of lovers we always desired; if only, yes if only we had one more chance to make it right, maybe we would go back to that high school boy or girl whose sincere love we defiled; i wish that the world is as beautiful as these songs i hear, i wish that we could all be happy and that our race wouldn't matter; will there be a day when we will make living less complicated for one another? so that in the end, when these songs play, our troubles would truly be over.

beautiful songs
He drives a gray Subaru I get in the passenger seat He turns on nirvana I don't want to But I can't Help it I begin to weep He asks what's wrong I can't explain He turns it off I thank him Until Radiohead Water falls from my eyes once more I shouldn't be in this car I should be riding my bike beside yours

a kurt cobain kind of pain
The dark demons in my head Would all proclaim, The pain is dead The shot so hard The price so high As gawking, ghoulish grins Come forward to flaunt The chains emasculating me In wild, ecliptical regressions Pressuring my senses To lie in a calm That no longer exists The needles of my peace Frustrate my confidence, sublime As i await the restoration of my sanity The renaissance of my agility So i squander reality Like a cyclone About to unfold A devastation This whirling charade goes on Until the hours Have long passed their bedtime The magic of the wasted clowns Begins.... If i share with you my story Will you tell a different tale? For what I am about to say Would cost my heart The tears i’ve cried in vain But i must tell it just the same Do not close your eyes Nor cover your ears If the pretty pictures fade For there will surely be Devils where i come from Within my room Inside my head When the magic drugs me To sleep Dreams are often dark and deep Sorry slumbers shattering A shivering soul Predestined to meet its end Where drunken cannibals blend Into a wretched scenario Of an afternoon in hell There is no awakening Once the reason is shed There is no truth To the demons in my head No truth at all About what they said No truth at all That the pain is really dead It never was And never will be... Once the magic of the Wasted clowns Start to begin..

Wasted Clowns
"All in all is all we are." Is the sum of the pieces greater than the whole or are we just our experiences mixed with a little DNA all of it piling up inside of us like boxes from an abandoned home. Genetics mixed with luck some grand Cosmic joke. or even an accident OOPS of some selfish god.
