Erode a smile
carved into my face
goes for miles
i can't stand this place
Love.
It no longer exists in this world for most people.
It is a giant and glorious let down, it is cynical as it is beautiful.
It is a lie, a deceitful dream.
An intangible reality.
Unimaginable torture of the heart in a vast, empty earth.
So I wait.
Wait for that daydream to torture my soul and wring my heart free of this reality.
Wait til my eyes are tired and my mind is blank.
One day I will find myself wandering through it's lies.
Into the wonderland of it's beautifully strange rhythm.
Lost in it's blinding light.
Singing it's brilliant and charming tune.
Foreign and distinct.
To touch it, to feel it would be as if to touch the sky and all the stars within it.  
Dreaming to hold the star.
It is not possible.
No.
But still, I dream it.
To dream, to live, to love.
Industry hides under a cunning guise
in which we are blinded
gorgonized
They certainly aren't for you and yours
priorities are set on higher scores
Lost we are
in the wake of corporate greed
in which bottom feeders
fufill and satisfy the belly of this beast
Which pumps out plastics,toxins,and pollutants
in return for our dollar
Killing mother's purity
obscene individual study proves to be
and we overindulge for their prosperity
What a shame,a disgrace,a great pity
that we sell out to this unmerciful machine
I say we let mother be
just let her be
Dont let it be
I can't find the words to explain
This thing I do.
It's not like there's a purpose to it
No real happy ending
But still it continues.
This back and forth repetition
And it works.
Even though it really doesn't.
Because its pathetic,
truly pathetic
That I am so hooked into you
And for what?
A conversation that ends in anger
Or more pain even.
Because you still love her
But I can't get over you so easily
I've tried.
*And I keep trying.
Ever had that one person that was really nothing but your emotions are telling you otherwise? The one who hurt you but you just keep wanting to go back for more? 'Just one more conversation' you tell yourself as the text sends. And it never ends well.
The first two 'I's were originally 'we's but then I realized it isn't really her, it's me.
And for the most part I am over it. But there's those few days when I'm not. And today would e one of them.
Though the sky may fade,
your eyes grow dim and rheumy
and the sun lose its golden halo
I’ll still see you
I’ll carry a torch to
light your  corner of darkness in the world

Though your voice may quake
and few may stop to listen
as you fight to convey opinion
I’ll still hear you
I’ll listen to find a
meaning through confusion in the words

Though most sound is quelled
and as if in sleep
your ears miss the sounds of morning
I’ll still speak to you
remind you of
who you are, both to yourself and those who care.
