Tired of talking we started walking
uphill flocking toward something mocking
our way of making something
grander than the grandeur they've been living

We can't hear it; that's enough words from them
bring the pigs their trough
Fill 'em till they're dead that's fair 'nough;

Thoughts Before I Can’t Think

Tonight we’ll dine alone
Separate places nowhere to call home
Tonight we’ll dine alone, together.
Call it a sign but these faces,
They’ve got nothing to them
No intention, no such hunch, not like us
Just something to look at
As our paces line the sidewalk to that fine wine place,
Drinks so costly we must be tying our laces
And drifting on out our laughter as payment
A moment has passed now we’re out to lunch
While I stuffed my luncheon in my face
You’ve beaten me to the punch, and
this time I’m anxious,
And my heart is fluttering,
So I mutter with haste
No rhyme or reason,
No chime to signal some fine line,
No time to to be wasted,
No, I reckon,
Just a second well spent
Just a second we’ll spend,
Again and again.
I love you more.

Besieged

I hope you know
I wasn’t searching for compliance
I wanted reliance
An alliance
Between us
We’d defend ourselves
From our heartbreak
And mend ourselves
Till our hearts didn’t ache
But there was a betrayal
You held a coup
I was a one man strong army
Against your motley crew
It left me done for through and through
All I had was a single after thought
As I bled out staring at the sparkling stars
**** I really wish that I hadn’t loved you.

Sometimes it hurts to see those you thought cared about you go, but it is best to make sure that they in fact do,” go.

Ghost

Boo!
I’m a ghost.
You see right though me
But maybe,
If I yell loud enough
You might hear me
Boo!
I’m a ghost.
I may be dead to you
But you’re wrong
I am alive too.
Boo!
I’m a ghost.
Don’t worry I won’t haunt you.
Though,
Hopefully I’m not a bother;
If I stay a night longer.
Boo!
Oh wait!
I’m not a ghost.

Love

Love is not an emotion
It is every emotion;
It is the course they take
And the actions they make

Love is a reaction
A realization;
That you want
You have
And will keep

Love is all about you
At times you doubt you have it
sit down then look around;
It’s all about you
Trust me it’s
love

What to Do

I better go to the store
I bought too much
What should I do?
A single thought
tells me what to do

I'll give some to you.
If you hate it give it back
But if you love it
I'll lend you the whole pack
until nothing is left

It would seem the store has run out
and I am at my limit
maybe this time
I could have some of you

Peering Down

Sit and take it
You're a loser no need to fake it
Deep down in a pit
Wallowing in you're poor thoughts
Such a pity

You ought to just stop your climb
No one will be listening
No one will be believing;
you'll see then
when all the tricks are out of your sleeve
and you fall to the ground
It's as impossible
as you are incapable
give up without a sound

The signals have been sent
its time to surrender
You've considered all the angles
You've bent every bone outta place
Don't be a pretender

Just give up.
Sit and take it.
You're a loser no need to fake it.
Deep down in that pit;

It's peculiar
It would seem the loser
that had seemed so far
is now higher
than ever before

Falling down is a chance to climb again. Don't give up. I believe in you wholeheartedly.
