whoever tries to
forget you is a
coward.
(c) Brooke Otto 2013

likewise.
wrote your name
all over my heart
tried to wash it away
but the ink left it's mark
like a tattoo i made
and it had no cost

i'll always like you, baby
but you'll dislike me
cuz i'm a disgrace
and you're
heaven on earth
i'll always think of you
and the things we do
or once did
and pretend
it's us against
the world

KM
Do you ever wake up
More exhausted than the night before?
As if your sweet dreams
Opened another worlds door?

No white rabbits here
This isn't Wonderland
You won't be young forever
For it isn't Neverland

Here the sandman drags his bag
Through the recesses of your mind
Covering up your childhood dreams
To forever be lost in time

Every crack every crevasse
No rest will be found
Nightmare or dream
Screams make no sound

So run, run, run as fast as you can
For in dreams you have no choice
When being chased down by the unknown
Like I said screams have no voice

Toss and turn and fight to awake
Your body will stay departed
In this dream or reality you're stuck
In a nightmare, vastly uncharted

Struggling to get through the underbrush
In the jungles of your dreams
Where your never sure what lays in the shadows
And nothing is as it seems

So again I ask, do you ever wake up
More exhausted than the night before?
As if your sweet dreams
Opened another worlds door?
Did this with Mike Hauser! Such a great poet.
