I'm horrible with words (not as bad as I am with silence)
They all make sense in my head, but I **** them up when I speak.
So I keep them to myself.
Because who the hell cares what I think about
music, and literature, and war, and you.
No one cares that I hate the color yellow,
And that I can't remember who sang that song,
And that I want to see that movie from the commercial.
And that I like it when I hold you at night.
I'm saying this for me
Because maybe it will help me communicate
Maybe it will help me articulate
Maybe it will help me formulate the words
Maybe it will help me tell you
That I love your smile, and your eyes,
And I hate not being with you
Because I still get butterflies
And I care what you think, and I want to keep you satisfied
Because I don't want you to leave.
But the words get lost between my thoughts and my mouth.
And I know you think about what I'm thinking
And wonder what thoughts I'm keeping
And try to figure out what I'm hiding
And why I won't tell you
That I can't live without you
or I won't live without you
or I don't want to live without you
or..
..**** it..

I'm afraid to fall asleep
Because if I sleep
I'll dream
And if I dream
I'll dream only of you
Not of the way
That your smile is beautiful
Or the way that your laughter is contagious
No -
Instead, I'll dream
Corruptions
Tragedies
Fatal accidents
Yes -
The way you'll jump for your escape
By leaping from your chains
Or the way you'll jump for your life
By leaping to your death

Off a heightened building;

Or the way in which
Unknowingly
You'll drag me down along with you

*Because I can't live without you.
And I hate the fact that I hurt you and that you'll never forgive me, and that's why I'm tearing myself apart...

I looked,
I looked long and hard
and shouted-
"you're ugly,
you're atrocious
you're revolting
boring
and plain
aloof
unobservant
and so, so pathetic.
You're nothing but a useless,
worthless piece of trash
My God, could you be any more sad?
Stop those tears,
Nobody cares.
It's true what they say,
you'll never be loved,
you can't even make a decision by yourself!
So many symptoms, so many ails,
stop blaming them all on your daddy issues.
So you say you wanna die?
Then do it,
what's stopping you?
praying that someone will miss you?
Well grow up, because they won't,
grow up, grow up!
older with each day
but still just a child inside,
cocooned in your ailments on a tear-stained pillow.
Stop crying,
you ***** little mutt,
why do you keep waiting for others to sew you up and fix you?
Is it because your bones are so weak
you can hardly rise in the morning?
Is all of this true?
You know it is,
My God, you are such a sad little creature."

I've said all I've needed to say,

So I step back from the mirror.

Diving in the abyss
Of your blue eyes
The waves of love that
Had longed
To crash upon me
Reared up high
And gulped me
Probably not a good thing

My Love
perfect you
beautiful horizon
your skin eternal
perfect foot prints
the unknown eternal
perfect smile of knowing

knowing of what waits beyond
beyond the bend of the earth
the lingering deep longing
endless in its depth of the ocean
my need for you as the sea

I set sail never to return
never to port
never to safety again
the grand adventure
you ....

I am 26 letters more empty,
Than I was yesterday.
This world is the constant dripping of a tap,
Drilling into my skull one millimetre at a time.
This world is safely wrapped in bubble wrap,
Beautifully shattered from the inside.
We have thousands of bubbles to pop,
One god ****** pope at a time.
Interfering personal spaces,
Dancing wildly on the edges of dust.
We sit and rust on O2 particles
Kissing dreams of lust as our bones cuss.
Well, school homework turned into this. You're welcome.

this never ceases to amaze me..
although i have seen countless souls do such a thing it still dazzles me to no end..

the part of the soul you see light up and glow is because this person was just missed by someone..
our technology has not come close to such sense and aknowledgement.. i dare call it magic! but don't quote me on that..

and now here is the someone that misses the other.. notice the soul glowing in the same region as the other.. same color, same radiance, these 2 people are truly soul mates.. fascinating!!!

how i have always yearned to have a soul.. it is all that is left for us to study in this universe.. we have been doing it for a thousand years and have not discovered a way to make a soul.. all we can simply do as of now is observe in awe... this will conclude todays class..
They observe, machines souless, how they yearn for one

It's all in your head
Those whispers of revenge
That soothe your racing heart
Making it hard to swallow

You’re safe and sound
While you watch your friends
Hit the ground
You let them down again

Raise up
To your call of praise
To hand out those weapons
Which make them feel brave

Forget who you really are
Wear the mask of your disguise
Turn your head before you shoot the gun
And never look them in the eyes

You played the game once again
But the game is now your goal
You can take lives, but the victims instead
Take a bigger part of your soul

Your eyes of stone look soft to me
I can read what’s on your mind
It seems you’ve decided once again
To **** one of your own kind

It's all in your head
Those voices who ****
Who draw out your weapon
And give you their will

They’re safe and sound
Resting face first on the ground
Who dug this early grave for them?

Stand tall
Hold your head up high
Hold that gun in your hand
Bear no life in your eyes

Forget who you really are

It's all in your head
blood-hungry war leaders

i have visions of you sleeping well
in a dim-lit room, half-furnished house
these visions once told me you were alone, and cold
and this house... it wasn't a home

i had visions of you dreaming of me
longing for the few days, in which you return to me
sleeping on a mattress is never of ease
but not so bad when you have loving to look forward to

now here in my sleepless cavern those visions have changed
i still see you dreaming in sweet peace
but with another's arms wrapped around you
and this house is more furnished than i had thought

i no longer have visions of you coming home
with a smile on your face, and sweet treats in your hands
heart shaped budds and the sweetest finger hash
are no longer gifts, but regular occurrences

not since you told me, the way you think of me has changed
it's no longer good thoughts about our psychedelic whirlwind of a journey
but of the times we went awry

i'll never know what happened for those 3 days after we spent the night
i hope your phone died and wish that was the whole story
but these visions of you sleeping in a more-furnished house

make me think that house is now more of a home.
