It's 12:14 AM
and I'm being unsensible
because why would I be practical
When I only get scolded when I'm somebody else

So I'll live awake
and I'll write
and I'll think about the world
With folk as my soundtrack
Lyrical banjos overlapping with my thoughts
and mixing them together

And I'll have conversations in my head
because lonliness isn't as bad
as the lovers make it sound
And I'll pretend that there's someone next to me
But I don't even want to admit to myself who it is
Let alone to you

And I'll pretend that I can do things I shouldn't
and can't
and I'll do them in my head
alongside that person
and we'll go places that don't exist
because they might as well exist
and I know you can't resist
Because I decide that you can't
and I make the decisions when it's
12:16 AM in Alonedom

And this is the most personal I've ever been
And it's only because
It's 12:17 AM
and I'm being unsensible
and writing
and thinking about the world
In a way that I wouldn't be able to in the sunlight
And I'm admitting that there's somebody next to me
That nobody else can see
But they're not imaginary
They're real for me.

The wind gossips.
    A bush of roses, crimson,
    explodes into the air
    and carries to the feet of
    every woman in need
    a scent of hope.

They won't turn black,
and if they receive acceptable
amounts of water
and finite amounts of ******, unsensible behavior,
they will see many years of flourish.
Am I in Love?

At night, laying sleepless,
I bemoan the treacheries of life
with my love
and appreciation....
And though,
in my dark,
and cavernous foundations;
Roar the pillars of stone,
and shake them.

Waked,
by curiosity,
and interest,
I stare intently at you,
and though I cannot see,
You are there.
Tangible,
by my creativity,
and invisible,
by my negativity.
And through the secret game
that to many, has forbidden name
we speak.

Fear,
and pride,
my greatest hatreds,
now run through me,
though the game of
Predator, and Prey.
I am the prey,
of myself,
in the black vapors
of my confusion,
you two rought me
with confusion
elaborate,
and woe,
despicable.
My thoughts now strand
off into many divisions,
all joining together,
to reveal my fear,
of disappointing you.

The thing we connect through bings,
and so we remain in contact, it seems.
But ever, we thought beautiful
I am marred, and proved untruthful.
You do not deserve me,
but somehow
in this void-feeling heart of mine,
I sense you care.
I care.

Am i in love?

My Mind craves you,
and I put much emphasis on that,
for that, might,
just might,
be my undoing.
Should I look to the East,
to find you, riding, in
shining, and metallic armor,
And see only dust clouds
roam aimlessly from North to South.
But I hear banners, in the West,
all risen high,
as high hopes,
and high spirits,
to guide them.
This, is what I've waited for,
for years,
as do we all.
But my misinterpretations,
now lead the banners,
with silver swords,
bearing the name of hate.
with this,
I deserve only
to lay my head down,
lamely, for you to hew it
from me, and call it,
Victory.

This, I forsee,
this unsensible
and crazed
sight,
that passes through me,
and guides me
to all darker paths of light.
So that I may be dimmed,
and in a cycle refrained,
I should, as a doomsayer,
say my doom,
and I, as a fool,
should subconciously make that true.

This is what I see.
I fear, for you,
and fear,
for me.

I burden all, though a child
and my will is heavy, upon you,
and wild, is my desires
and should you penetrate my curtains,
you should see,
the cold bitterness, of my truth.

But all the while,
mind and soul crave you,
and body revives,
slowly,
but surely.
I sense love,
and my stomach churns,
knowing I shall hang my head
in Guilt.

Am I In Love?
When I enter the world of love
A lot of powers I'm able to have,
A kind of power that can make you smile
Powers I learned just to make you mine.

In love I learned how to be strong
I don't care if it's heavy, just bring it on.
Give me your books, bag, everything you carry,
I will hold it all, if you will just let me,

In love I learned how to be fast
I’m always ready to run in the dust.
If you said move, it follows my action.
If you said now, I go without hesitation.

In love I learned how to be brave
I can walk alone even in the darkest cave.
I’m always ready to face my fear,
I'll stand like a man for you my dear.

But I’ve been granted not only positive powers
Cause like now I’m voiceless than flowers.
I'm here, just right in front of you,
But why can't you see everything that I do?

I'm powerful but still powerless,
Done everything but still nothing like a mess.
Whenever I come, you always go away,
I wish to have a power that will make you stay.

I'd rather be an air than being like this,
It can be felt, but me can't even notice.
I'm not invisible for you not to see,
I want to know why you keep on ignoring me?

I hate this power, it hurts me a lot,
All I want is to be better than that,
I am "unsensible" and it is really hard to be.
Because you have the power to break inside me.
