When we were seventeen
you plotted and planed your death
"21 year old racer dies on the German Autobahn"
You planned to break the speed limit
with your recklessness
in the fastest Ferrari
or a black BMW, perhaps.
Looking back,
we'll laugh at the thought.
There are no speed limits
on Autobahns.

I collapsed back and marked the ugly beige paint once.
The word ‘accident’ formed thereafter and the
desire to keep going was like a hunger.

Day one hundred in a flurry of lost days.
No sun anymore
My only vitamins came from bottles and boxes and lips
The temptation to scrawl on the wall grew.

I want our hall in our future home
covered with words so when someone leaves
at a loss for what to say
there will be plenty of choice.

You*

       Don't
                  Remember
                                ­      Me.
                    Faraway.
                          ­            So
                                              Last­
                                                        Time:
  ­                      Don't come home.
Well this has been in my drafts for about... a year. And now I finally remember why.

When          I         was          thirteen
My     best      friend     called     me
from     the     hospital    payphone.
She     scratched     her   veins    out
And   I   was   the   one   who   bled


ink.
I went through some old poems and yeah, I realized something. I started writing the day after that phone call.

I sat up too fast and
Saw your face



I saw your face and
Sat up too fast

Goodnight, my love
Tonight I leave for good.
Just hush, my love
Don't cry so much,
You will feel better soon.

Sleep tight, my love.
Don't fear the hurt,
Your light will be the moon.
Breathe deep my love,
Like that, go on
I'll sing your favorite tune.

And don't worry, my love
For I leave you not
Without making this easier for you.
I leave you here, a list, my love
Of things to learn to do:

"Wake up early and smile
For the day is bright
And there are no clouds around

Feel proud
About how you speak your mind
For there is no one alike

Be joyous, don't cry
Don't sob or frown
When you see my seat unoccupied

Remember the good times
The laughs and the cries
The love we shared for the longest time

Last but not least, learn how to live
It's the best advice you'll get from me
Write what you feel and follow your dreams"


When the night gets dark I won't be here
Wake up till noon,
If you can if you could
Tomorrow will be here soon

And I reckon you'll cry
You'll scream and fight
When you see I'm nowhere about

Goodnight, my love.
I leave you behind
But your memory stays deep in my heart

Goodbye, my love
It's time to go
But I will always,
Always
Keep you close

happy and care free
the side of me waiting inside me that you'll probably never see
a "me" that can't stand the sight of myself outwardly that you'll probably always believe
the person that I want to become when I overcome my defeats

It's the way your eyes lie to me that makes me light up inside
I'm happy to have the chance to change my hold on pride
they draw us together like the sides of a satchel with strings pulled
oh how I love to be fooled

those eyes, that color, their light, your stare
they make me forget everyone else and forget myself and not care
they draw me in with a whisper that asks if I dare
they pull me in like a scream rushing at me through lust filled air

it's funny how eyes can deceive so believably

teach me how to lie
I want the same fake happiness you see as a prize
teach me how to lie
I want the same hollow affection that gets you by
teach me how to lie
show me how the honest heart's noose needs to be tied

teach me how to lie
because the truth is I can't survive my own life

Whyleigh evermore
one of these days, you will be me. one of these days, i will be you. one of these days, the world will turn in my direction. one of these days, the wind will blow the dust across the sea. one of these days, i won't think of you quite so much. one of these days, my heart won't have so many cracks visible when you look into my eyes. one of these days, the tree's in my yard will be big and strong and no longer bothered by the wind. one of these days, we will be old and full of hard lessons and tired sighs. one of these days, we will return to the earth and be one again.

one of these days, but not today.

Off the hook
out of place
out of site

no one home

on the road

a hurdy gurdy purdy man
monkey dancing
just for you
toss away
too bad for you
gotta get that **** on through
cause karma is
what karma does
evens things
