The steam bellows out and fills the mirrors
with hazy mystery
Similar to that that of waking up in panic
The stinging in my eyes is familiar
Yet I still don't know the source
I know the road I want to take but still wont stay the course

These thoughts caress my brain
like waves coming in at high tide
Pushing anything unsubstantial out of its way
Destroying any early developments
All that's left is you

The morning exploded in a vast array of color and light
And the screams of geese ******* on the walkway to my apartment
I got a full nights sleep and
Last night I even abstained from quenching my thirst
Yet I still awoke with my senses beating me
Half to death

Life is the sudden
Realizations that it
All might be worth it

I have felt this way for
Far too long
To only now learn to handle
The way you shake me up

I once expected you to fix me
Instead I'm here
Bleeding out
On the operating table

Modern pop music
Is reduced to abstract sounds
It makes my ears bleed

Humans are pack animals and you can witness it on the highway
Too afraid to break from expected behavior such as driving the speed limit
Or turning on your lights in bad weather
The lone shepard in the middle of the highway
Driving his run down '67 Cadillac with every window open
So as to let every breeze he passes caress his wild hair until the sun's orange rays finally peek over the hills
And spills into the rear view

Sputtering down the highway at a pace
That only he is comfortable going
Hitting every *** hole, every bump in the road
Acknowledging every piece of trash that litters the roadside wondering
Why no one else can break from tradition
And merely enjoy the open road

Hung up on hang ups
The only the I can do a bang up job on
That and being a sleuthy slob
A stick in the cog
Another day wasted

Yesterday and the
day before that one as well
Are not tomorrow

People ask how to
Keep moving in times of pain
You just have to smile

I have always been
Inside out but you turned me
Right side out again

All these nights have left
Me convinced that nothing goes
Smoothly for too long

I have grown to love
Sincerity in anger
It makes me feel whole

My love for you
Is bursting at the seems, if
Only you saw it

I awoke in a stupor
Last night less time was spent sleeping
Than thinking of you
Our castle was destroyed in one swift move
The cannon shot straight through your heart
And simultaneously mine
The moat has dried
And the invasion begun
I am no longer blindly waving my sword
I feel I have been overrun

go away

Love constrained to 140 characters
Barriers
At a stand still, down hill
Pigeon carriers
Face getting hairier
Like trying to explain the pain to endangered animals
Societal cannibals
Launching cannonballs down crowded halls
No wherewithal
You've got me shook up, look up
Falling tears
Even after all these years
Shrouded on fears of falling on deaf ears
On and etch-a-sketch that never clears

They say each heart break
Gets easier as you go
I don't believe it

These eyes have seen a lot of love,
Yet they will never see another woman like you.
This heart has pumped a lot of blood,
But it will never beat this way again.

Love is never lost
Easy it falls similar
To an avalanche
