Is there tear gas in this room?
Because I can't stop crying
The gas crawls down my esophagus
And crushes my wounded heart.

“God this hurts”

I keep typing,
Praying to computer screen
That I'll forget the smell of your hair
I type till my fingers bleed
So I can forget what your touch feels like
How our lips fit perfectly together.

“God I hate myself”

The only phrase I think of
When I'm pleading for things to back to normal
Back to the days
Where you didn't want to to crack open my skull
And see all of the ugly things
That drift around my cranium

“Baby please I'm sorry. I’m a mess,
A klutz, who waltzes around with stupidity
Baby I get this feeling in my head
When you are not around
I want to keep writing you these love letters
By sliding them under your doors called your eyelids”
But I can’t

I sit alone in the bus called life
Looking across my seat
I see you, my love
Holding onto the bar
Your pretty Blue headlights
That make me drawn to you
Your pretty Blue headlights
Covered with the rain I caused
I'm a rain man,
you see, when people get close to me
I get scared
And force the skies rain to tears with pain.


The only thing that floats in my mind
Is that I hope the man of you life
Buys you flowers
Sunflowers especially
And shows up to your work unexpectedly.
I hope you can travel to Paris
and keep a long list of all of the countries
you've cuddled in.
With him.
I hope you he can handle seeing the stars
From your eyes every time you guys cuddle
Under the moon light.
I hope he can teach you how to slow dance
And I hope that he can teach me
On how to be a better man.
The girl feels the darkness
Closely
Creeping

She stands, afraid,
Crying
Weeping

She smiles, she laughs,
And it
Abates

But it's not over- the
Darkness
Waits

When the lights grow
Dim
Again

The failed dreams, the wishes, the sorrow
Come
In

And then all that she
Can
Do

Is wait, and survive, endure-
Stay
True
if i shall die today

i will have lived a thousand lifetimes of happy bliss

contained within that single passing moment 

of unspoken, unending, beauty.

that moment 

when our eyes first met 

across that ocean of blurred lights and faces 

and i stood there

with my naked soul

heart like a humming bird

suspended in time.

that moment 

when everything fell into place

and simultaneously all fell away

and i stood there

lost in the reality 

of your breathtaking existence.

was i at all born before that day

that moment, that face
that brought life to theses bones

breath to these lungs

words to this paper

and reason to this old and weary soul.

yes if i shall die today

i will have lived a thousand times more 

then any one who has ever died before

for i have danced in your grace 

long enough to know, to not fear fate.
the hunger, the need, to be right by your side
my emotions, my soul, can't seem to hide
my pain, my fear, seems to be fading away
it's probably because I saw your face today
I want, need you to know that I actually exist
I harden, smile, I clench my hands to a fist
I dream, pretend that someday we'll be together
I wanna hear you say that we'll be always and forever
I just hope that you know that I love you, I really do
I'm just hoping that someday you'll say you love me to
Ever been in the middle, even pushed aside?
Buried 6 feet under while you're still alive?
Just a normal everyday feeling
Lie awake blank mind, staring at the ceiling.
Empty hands wishing you had some to touch
Missing that one person you shouldn't a bit too much
Help anyone anyway you can yet still feeling ******
What's it take around here to be this thing called happy?
I want to fall into your gravitational field,
Feel you grab me until
I sink into your essence
And our flesh becomes one

Think
I came here tonight to confess my emotion to you. I lay down with filthy sheets were the stench and perfume of others had been. Your bitter saliva burns my tongue . The Acid pain brings a remedy that last a day . Scratch marks on my back are just a reminder what I can't have. You look for lust and I look for love n this drunken night. I'll just be another aroma on the bed of lies
