I’ve felt this shift before, and this time, I refuse to crumble beneath it.

Déjà Vu
White yellow red and green lights light up my streets late at night And I quite like these kind of nights When It's safe to walk and wonder late at night My feet closes to the ground in thin patterned socks And only pictured socks work best for these nights They bring out the best, these patterned socks of mine And when my shadow leads the way I know adventure isn't too far away

Patterned Socks
a hand of circular motion will turn and turn without promotion a notion of loyalty unbreaking a sure one but also forgiving will never occur boxed up bottles full of glass a burn from plastic flames of past a cast doesnt mean that broken pieces should last for the renewal will never occur fearsome dearsome and doleful a spur of the moment decision thats hopeful a bowl full of concepts berating an old soul but also the meal will never occur a hungry and mangled existence a hurt that never heals, for instance a distance doesnt make you a witness for the pain has never occurred

An Occurrance
That morning, when I awoke, I had not a clue, That the things you claimed you'd never do, Were exactly what my day was leading too, Though, as we shared that bed, my alarm was right on cue, And as I got up, I noticed I smelled like you. I told my best friend about that night, That for once, holding someone was comforting, felt right, Laying there, with you clinging to me so tight, Was the first time intimacy didn't come with a shock of fright. But, of course, the truth comes out, Stunned, standing, the visage of a lout, So lost in all that's come about. That afternoon, when I got home, what was I to do? So many thoughts, so many feelings to get through, I turned on the shower, watching the dancing water spew, And, just before the water touched me; deja vu, I noticed that I smelled just like you. This couldn't stand, and I scrub and washed till I felt alright, Dirt, regret, and your scent wash away in the dim daylight At last I didn't smell like that night, And didn't reek of lack of foresight. Now, I'm left with only an internal emotional bout, Wondering if I can even shake this doubt, To decide whether or not to keep you in, or out.
