Infinite

It's the times when nothing goes
right
And so we cry
together
We let it happen and wash it away with
laughter

It's the times when the stars come
out
So we must follow
suit
And traipse about on our fruitless
missions

It's the times when we're all a little
silly
or a lot
And we're all content to just
be

It's times like these when I discover feeling
infinite

I'm pretty sure you remember (or have) those nights with your friends; those nights where everything just feels right and you can't be bothered with the thought of it ever ending.

Eat Your Fill

i'm hungry       brought on
and eating                    by lack
    your words                     of nutrition
in attempts                                       so i'm
to fill                                            asking you
my empty                                                 as my
lonely self                                        human mother
but those                                                         to chew
words you                                      and regurgitate
spit like                                         something a
mother bird                               little more
do nothing                           satisfying
for my                       something a
screaming aches     little more
and pains           like love

Total work of fiction. If anything, I'm over-fed.

Just A Crutch

Just a crutch
You're nothing much
only everything I lean on
If you're not there
I might not care
only topple to the ground
Where I'd lie
But wouldn't cry
only because you're watching
So you see
I'm good and free
*only when I'm with you

Reasons for Running

Some say
That running is
For scared people

But I don't think they know
What it feels like when you go
As fast as you can

The wind whips your cheeks
And you forget about your week
Where nothing went right

You're breathing hard
Your heart was scarred
But now you can't feel it

So you go faster
In the hopes to master
The power behind your legs

It's become a task
How long will you last
Before you have to stop?

The pain comes back
Your face goes slack
And your breathing regulates

You feel the hurt
It's the sweat on your shirt
And so you go to change

You weren't scared
You only cared
To go and stretch your legs

They don't have to know they're right

Walking

They walk along in silence
Hearts thump like horse's hooves
Their knuckles touch
It's nothing much
But neither hand will move

So fingers reach and lock
In an awkward, clumsy grasp
Sweaty palmed
They're somehow calmed
By the hardest, simple task

They grip a little tighter
Neither deterred by the sweat
They turn and smile
For the longest, little while
Silently placing all their bets

On who will be the first to crumble
And indulge in a kiss
On who's bed
On which day they'll wed
And how much they'll miss

Each other

When they reach
Her doorstep

The Storm

She stood atop that little hill
Where she popped that little pill
The one that brought the storm
The thunder rolled
And the birds did scold
The girl for all her wrongs
But she ignored their calls
As she began to fall
Into a sort of trance
Lightning flashed
Her mind then crashed
Onto itself in oblivion
The world was white
She lacked all fright
*For there was nothing awful

From Where You Sit

Do you suppose
From where you sit
That you can see the stars?
Way up there
Up in the black
Above the smog from cars

Do you suppose
From where you sit
That you can see the truth?
Way out there
Out passed what's known
And muddled by your youth

Do you suppose
From where you sit
That you can really see?
See the world?
See yourself?
Or even see me?
