 Nov 2014 The Butterfly
Joe Bay
I completely understand why this happened
We fought and fought
It was inevitable

But I love you
And I have never stopped
Even when we fought and fought
I never questioned my feelings

I used to sit in Chemistry
And daydream
About what our life could be like
About everything that could go right
Without having a single thought
That anything could possibly go wrong

And now, a year later
I sit in Physics
And dream of what I could’ve done right
And how if I had done so
You might
Not have gone
And maybe you’d still be
My Chemistry Daydream
Break ups, man...
I look into myself and see only an accumulation
of lost objects
Piles of beautiful, forgotten documents
unusable
but loved for what they are
I am the words on a tea-stained music sheet
that mean nothing
and yet
you turn them over eternally in your mind
because there's something about that
sequence of syllables
that makes them
irresistible.
Look at my shelves and see my soul
Repeat my words and learn my essence,
Home is knowing who you are.
I am infatuated with you
Not the idea of you.
Ever since we met
I never thought we could work
But we do
Well we did
You've been gone for a while
And I don't really know
If you are coming back
Will you make it home to me?
Or will you fall
And vanish forever?
Just let me know
When I lose you
Because I've lost you before
But this time I know it's for good.
Before we met,
Everything scared me.
Now I feel safe in your arms.
More secure than I ever did
Anywhere else.
Like safe as in I never had to worry.
Letting you take all my trust
Even when I thought it was too much.
Never did you fall, nor will you ever.
I wish I was more,
than a second thought,
If a thought at all.

I wish I was more,
Than a safety net,
To catch you if you fall.

I wish you'd care,
Even though,
I'm always there.

I wish you'd understand,
Take your place,
And hold my hand.

I wish I was more,
than a second thought,
If a thought at all.

I wish you'd notice me,
But instead,
I feel so small.
I am just a second thought,
If a thought at all .
My Insanity
Written by Adam M. Snow

Falling weak, I lay my head;
resting now I feel dread.
A ghost am I,
forever nigh;
a mute yet blind;
this world, my mind
held insanity,
my humanity,
lost to eternity,
by mortality.

I wage war
That's never been seen before
Is sanity worth fighting for?
I'm not really sure

Insanity?
A calamity?
I call it individuality!

Who is Society
To create this hypocrisy?!?
It seems like such a tragedy
To waste such ingenuity
To dull the creativity
