I cry out of love
Say words out of anger
Promise never to fall victim
Yet i am easily taken away
Today i don't cry that i miss you
I only do so to free my soul off the burden of not wanting to move on
For that would be wicked and selfish not letting my heart create room for another
An all better land awaits
Just like bright light at the depth of the ocean
Maybe the darkness could become light one day
Maybe the pain could be healed and we are all free from sorrow
Maybe the furthest of stars could finally shine with brighter light
Maybe be our efforts will eventually payoff
Maybe, maybe not someday
The puzzle of uncertainty still takes over
If only someone could tell the future

As he looks up in the sky
he sighs and wonders
he gapes and almost staggers lost
He sees one surviving star shinning brighter than the wandering lot
casting his thoughts like fish net
he makes a wish to his loved ones maybe they laughed
at the old terrible joke of the palm squeezing greeting
Or cried about another broken ***
The kids must really be my blood
And maybe she laughed the same
terrible laugh
Or grimaced in similar ancient grief
Lined across her fore head the day l last saw her

He stood on the front porch
wandering through
Anger in his voice as he speaks
The message on his face could be
decoded
He roams with misery everywhere he goes
His reputation preceeds him
I love you with a love
I thought I lost
with the loss of all my saints.
I love you with the breath, smile and tears of all of my life.
And I know I will love you even more after death.

All feelings change all the time. Once in a while the love is infinite!
Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Cuz who's gonna be there to keep you warm when you burn out?
You can say this person and that person,
But is anyone really a guarantee?
Just...
Keep yourself warm, healthy and happy,
And it'll spread to others too!
God 3 a.m. me is horrible at poetry

Is it what l am or what l've become that people despise me for the less interest
A boy who lives with brown hair as he wanders trying to find his way back home
A boy who tells his story through words written on a piece of paper
A boy who grew up without any friends but still moved forward
A boy who has nothing to hold on except the love of his family
A boy who lives to tell a story to those that listen to his message.
