I thought it was enough. Leaving you in the place i called home. Betraying the warmth and running away from the comfort. Just to be kicked, bled dry, and dying in an unfamiliar sidewalk. Drowning in a sea of strangers, in this city of unknown. You thought I loved to leave, so you pushed and pushed. You never held me back. Now there's no home and you were but a distant footnote of a life i chose to forget.

Adopt a stray
I never knew you. You never knew me. We never met; this never happened; it was all a dream. (And I'm finally awake.)

Going forward Every day Seeing in frequencies And Hearing in color Reminds me Sometimes It's ok to get there In reverse

Reverse
i lick the sweet syrup from my fingers so i can eat the same sticky pancake like it's new i rearrange my room with the same three pieces of furniture i've had since i was eleven and all the clothes i got from thrift stores thinking i could make them mine if i put holes in the knees and elbows so i'm sorry if i keep starting over always trying to love you from the beginning

rewriting page one
The edges of summer’s soak and throb routine begin their curled leaf fraying with the last fat spoons of clotted dreams lashed haphazard All those weights we foisted forward to when wet autumn would just **** us off anyway rattle-threat at their fastenings in the fractious post-tropical gales Inertia makes it clear why our transatlantic cousins call it fall, but pre-echoes of crisp, clear frosts do their best to placate anxieties that appear to be calendared

Mellow fruitfulness
Shimmering pain at the coldness of birth, What's your purpose? First moment of unfair life, Why did you bring me here? Hollowing crawls from my first step, What's your way? Enjoyements and sins, that took me away, What's this all sh*t? Cold breeze on my eyeball, While putting the shoes on my hands. I look into the nearness with my lips And try to reach the core of the Earth. I hit the space, because I want to talk to the wall, and try to catch them all. You mean what? Wonders of self-lovingness, Towards You, Me, Them, Those... The gate that is close to open through the wall, Let me in and find me lost. Keep your hands to yourself and reach me, Then kiss me while you are pushing    me away. Love, that is screaming backwards, Hold my brain with your crying heart. Born me back to hauling death, Let my eyes talk to your head, Then take me and bring me back On the thin line of curse of life.

Can we start over? I miss the old us When we both were so close And not fading away Can we start over? As friends And fall in love again in the progess Can we start over? To a time That its certain We will be more than friends Can we start over? Because i miss what we had.

In a new place now One last chance to start over Breathe deep, you got this

High Coup #4
New year is a reminder, That everyday is a new day, A new day to breath & breath again, To let go of what lies behind, And strain forward to what lies ahead, Live more to give more than to receive, To start over and forgive, And most of all to be grateful, Thank God it's a new day, Happy New Year to you all, With so much love, ○

A New Day
" Sometimes you have to burn it all, Break the foundation and start brand new. To get where you are going is never an easy task. The only part that will hurt you is keeping what you can't Salvage. "

" Salut"
The button glares it's hideous grin beckoning me to give it one good push Start Over is plastered over it's red polish Why is the button always red? I question I am numbed my core rotten as I stick in my hands in to see if my heart still beats Everything fades and my senses feel as though it is just an anesthetic I try to see but all I know is this dream within my nightmare The button grows further and further away Will I be able to reach it in time? I don't know...

Why Can't We?
If I am a wanderer, do I have to be lost? Where did I begin, and will I see an end? I won't call it "the end", but "my destination to be" It'll make everyone feel at ease, even me. Plan A could have pleased My optimism equalled my confidence Oh, how I wish it had worked out I concluded it to be my only way out I didn't think of a plan B, C, or D, I didn't make it to E through Z I'm right back to square one I find myself stuck and alone My optimism will peak soon, I will see an option or two Right now, everything seems meaningless And everything I did incredulous I'm not one to drift into the wild dark My soul, intact or wounded, craves peace. My heart, empty or full, leads and conquers My voice, shaky or unheard, still comes from me. I'll get to where I long to be But I'm back to square one And don't know where that might be Forgive me, if I waste time But I need it.

Square One
Sometimes its good To start the cycle over To erase all the troubles The subsequently haunt your Dawning future And just be free Even its for an inkling Just start over.

Start over
I think it's time I up and leave. Packed my bags, collected pay. Time to push to a new day. A brand new place is all I seek. A different view is what I need. Find my self and start a new. I'll sure miss you.

Roam
I'm ready to go home.. I open a bottle of wine, That I've been saving for a special occasion. I bought a package of smokes, I turn my favorite tunes I think I'm ready to start.. Opening boxes, Folding clothes. Sipping, smoking and singing Closing boxes. I'm almost ready to go outside.. Is dark and cold, The last one Sipping, smoking and singing Closing doors. I'm ready, I'm ready to go.

*I'm ready*
The face you see standing in front of your door Doesn't want you anymore You steal her weekend nights You rewind the thoughts of her mind The face you see standing in front of your door Is not into it anymore It was question of time For her to realize That you where never down for her When the sun is about to rise Neither when the moon says goodbye The face you see standing infront of your door Is not waiting anymore

Anymore
standing in a city that's constantly trying to abort its breath, we're looking at the sky we might be defined to repeat fist-pumping anthems and tragic falls. all of them, no returns. and you ask me, "don't you want to start over and look anywhere but at me?" that question again, and my answer is always no. oh, baby boy, lift your headache head... remnants of our past? oh they burn all right, fire roaring, smoke choking. they're just waiting for the next rain to put them to sleep then they sleep, and it's morning. time to start again. you'll be a stranger again and even though i'm choking on their ashes, i will not recognize you. pump your fists. we'll fall again without a clue.

Everything I see is negativity Is this how we control democracy? We're free to choose, it is owned liberty Isn't our ought to have their loyaty? I am tired of your complacency We don't want to settle in mediocrity Our nation is filled with wasted time Oh, our nation don't waste mine Don't burn our bridges Cause we'll be here for ages Let us go and walk in our sunshine Start over and be our hearts July 21, 2014 3:26 pm

The time has come I can no longer try As much as I don't want to I have to tell you goodbye I've tried to get you to at least be my friend I've also told you thst the way we left each other last we 'll be able to mend!! I need to work on myself before I can love another I need to quit my dependencies or I will never achieve the other!! I have an idea on how to do it and just need to figure when I can and where I'll stay,..... All I know is I hate this and can no longer continue to live this way !!!

Continue this way
i wish i could go back and savor you; the sunshine on your face, as if it were pages of a story, and the feeling of warmth like the sun on my back as i read you like the comic book you were, i wish i could start over so then i could feel this all again.

I want to be your forest fire. I want to burn down all the good in you. Everyone needs a fresh start at some point.
