MKE
I can’t say we’re the same but I too have lost large parts of me to greener pastures
Your dark bricks turn to dust and paint the snow a red maroon
“The stories they’d tell”
Says everyone sad to see them crumble but not sad enough to do anything about it
“Someone should do something”
Someone, but not they
Milwaukee I too am a lot like you, if you only knew
How far I slid sickly over the Kinnickinnic oil slicks
Past fallen trees and draining pipes
Until being caught by a shopping cart
Left on the muddy banks by some poor poor impoverished soul
Who also didn’t really care enough to return it to the Pick & Save
From which it was taken
I’ve sure seen better days and I too have come a long way
Like I got on to Fond Du Lac Avenue and kept walking
Until I reached
Well...
Fond Du Lac
Like I ascended Kilbourn Park with a pick-axe
Defeated the yeti on top and shoved your blue flag
Through his heart, cracking it open like a Pabst or Schlitz can
and dropped a quarter in a homeless guy’s jar
And he told me I was just like you
I can too burn bright like the foundries in the valley
Or roar like railcars and rattle the south side
Or be courageous like the captain
Sailing to Muskegon
Over choppy freshwater treachery
I can shutter in peace like your factories when I fall asleep
And never wake back up
I can drive all my loved ones away
Just like you have
For the past five decades
I’m exactly like you
Because I too
Wait for a sunnier day

It had been a while
Even tho no tears were shed
I could feel it was a wound tt would possibly leave a huge scar
I had no bad intentions when i said it
I had no ill meaning when i did it
I did it out the pure feeling of longing
Out of the innocent feeling of yearning
If i had to mke an apology
I would apologising for loving a woman like a lil girl

It was all love at first
And that love kept growing n spiraling out of control
Everytime my hrt beat ...... i swear i could feel it ...... as if its about to break through the cage
Everytime i put my hand on my chest it was as if im trying to calm a mad dog down
A feeling i loved n hated
Cause Everytime it reminded me of how deep it was
How deep the wound was gonn be
As i kept replaying the worst case scenario in my head
And making more rush decisions
In a sad attempt to protect my heart

In the end it didn't hurt
At least not at the moment
But the longer i sat there the more i could feel the wound opening
As if its about to rip my hrt in 2
I clucthed at my chest
Held on for dear life
The laughter echoed in the empty starry nyt
Reminesce of a broken heart,
No.......broken mind
As i sat there feeling regret from the word protect your heart.
Its that feeling u get wen u r hurt...... funny cause u knew it was gonn hurt bad

All day and night
We dance
We dance to take flight
We dance to still the pain
We dance to mke the rain
Fall
Upon the wall
The wall that is a deception
A fatal reception
This wall is that of death
It steals our every breath
Until we are merely the lights of souls
The souls of those lost
We've been tossed
Into the flow of spirits
Dead and gone
From wars and sickness
From old and young
Tremendous is the thickness
Of the quantity of souls in which we float
Upon a boat
Drivin he who is called the grim
Grim the reaper
A reaper of the souls
Of the people
The people that shunned him
When he was alive
And the tables have turned
When in his river we must dive
He comes as merely a man
As he stands
He shows his true form
A being of lies
All of his victims die
But he hurts inside
He can never reach perfection
He too was lied to
Trapped in his own deception

.
I cnt hold my feelings inside even though my love i abide i wud love to mke u smile instead of cry wlk around with u by side but to also let my lips slide up ur thighs ik its alot i must hide but please dnt judge me im only a guy
If things don't get better at least they end
Bones break but they always don't mend
Can always say you're sorry, doesn't mke amends
Still think of you walking away, but don't want to see you again

Piece by piece or swallowed whole
We all end at the same place
So lets see where the rabbit goes

Hi
Different times
And different places
Different names
And different faces

His dull expression
Remained the same

Welcome to life
Some type of game

A plain earth body
Oh so dull

He eats the food
Until he is full

A life spent wandering
Underneath trees

Barely any money
That's okay with mke

— The End —
