Strong
Zach Merrill Mar 2012
Woke up in the morning and I put aside my pride,
I got a clean shirt, hitched a ride.
Put on that quiet smile and do my job right,
guess that makes me not a bad, bad guy....

Never went to college and I never made much,
I always wanted to.
I feel so bad, baby it makes me sad,
I wish I could give more to you.
And if I wern't so dumb,
And if I couldn't do wrong.
Then I'd be better than strong.

It's been a while now, still "thinkin' about you."
Your wonderful smile,Your key tattoo.
Your beautiful hair, Your cute when you pose.
We'll be together forever, I suppose...
Zach Merrill Nov 2010
well the royal's gone, and so are you. so i'll sit here and think my things thru.
It's funny how things change between good and bad, But it's how things go and i'm glad that your glad.
so goodnight, farewell, cuase i'll see you in hell.

And i don't know how to change how i feel, it's my sixth sence, one you could never steal.
It's funny how things seem to unwined, when everything seems together and seems alright.
so goodnight, farewell, cuase i'll see you in hell.

And as i'm writeing this song, It seems like revenge.
It seems sweet it seems right, but it's wrong in the end....
cuase your there for me i know that you are, but it's nighs like this you seem so far... so far away...

School Days
Zach Merrill Nov 2010
The floors ****** up, the doors don't work, and there's flies, flying around my head
I should probly fix the holes in the wall, but i say **** it instead.
Cuase it's all down hill from here. No more saying it's gonna get beter today.
I wish i never got that ******* tattoo on my hand.
I wish i never met you at all.
I'm thinking that you were probly right, and i'm crazy after all.
Words are not working working, and calling you doesn't get anywhere.
The thoughts in your head will never be talked about anyway.
it's no use for me. it's no use for you, all it can do is bring back tears.
Zach Merrill Dec 2010
I've got my sunglasses, some smoke, and a gatorade, cuase i don't feel like there's much to say today.
And I think that I'm tired of living the same old life.
And I think that it's time for me to finally try.

As for you, well you, your my shining star.
It's that look that you wear, it's that scent in you hair, that makes me sick.

And so i've decided to stay for one more year.
I just wish that my body could take just one more year.
It's those simple facts that ive to regret to you.
And regrets and remorse cuase i fell for someone new.

And I still don't know how to smile.
It's that look in your eye, it's that feel of suprise, that makes me sick.

I was at the bar one night, just minding my buisnees enjoy my fine pour, mistacism and, wonder came floating by in a little black number that i could look at for days. She grabbed a drink and waited for it at the bar. We'd met briefly a few times before, as everyone in a small town does at one point or another. A soft spoken well to do girl, i can't remember her name now. Slender build, blonde hair a girl, and a smile that could buy anything.

She began a converstion cuase her boyfriend was playing pool, i guess if you will she was just being polite. I wasn't going to argue with the girl and of coarse, so i offered the seat next to me and began to enjoy my drink. She asked what i was drinking, I said
"Whiskey"..."Ice", and flicked my glass as i set it down on my worn out coaster. She began to talk of life, finishing school and enjoying living in Kennebunkport while here.I couldn't belive that my alcoholic fishing village was the safe haven for pretty , sweet, and nice girls.

I didn't notice but the time flew and  so did the drinks, i could tell dhe was trying to keep up with me. One turned to 3, 3 turned to 8 double for me, and 8 of whatever fruity concoction she was drinking. I felt bad, she was drunk. Her boyfriend walk up to the bar and was angry.
He saw how drunk she had gotten, and who she'd got drunken with.
He didn't try to cuase any trouble but i could see his  "boundries" had been crossed. I wasn't worried, guy like me in my home town, bad day for him.

I have to say though, that girl barely knew me, and just wanted a good converstion out of me, and share a laugh. That's a good person, good friend, something i'd like to srtive for one day. Hope for the future.
I'm a writer of all kinds, mostly poems, but i write small stories of my life to. My favorite poet is jack keruoac, and i base my writeing on his almost.

Another Night, Another way.
Zach Merrill Oct 2010
well? was it worth it, the things we used to do and all the memory warm.

as you trembled with a smile, and all the light on earth fill your heart

down at federal jacks tonight.



so confuse me with your smile

keep me warm today, tonight, tomorrow

and you'll sit, and love the life you have, and drink your coffee to

and just write the poetry, that we make



the ballrooms alomost emty the lights are dim,

it's wonderful to be around to champnge dreams



so confuse me with your smile

keep me warm today, tonight, tomorrow

and you'll sit, and love the life you have, and drink your coffee to

and just write the poetry, that we make



and the timeing was always wrong the weathers changed

and the suns not as warm as your voice,

you my sun, you are my muse, you bring out the best in me



so confuse me with your smile

keep me warm today, tonight, tomorrow

and you'll sit, and love the life you have, and drink your coffee to

and just write the poetry, that we make

this town
Zach Merrill Oct 2010
i'm cooking a soup tonight
cutting my hands and bleeding the base
i';m building thoughts of destruction,
collecting my own army
on the out side i cover the secrets
those lies you saw right thru
i'm not scared i have bled, knees are ready to give.

So **** this town and *******
cuase it won't mean a thing when my plans are thru
and it's not getting better, and it's not alright
and it won't be for a long, long time.

You should bury me now cause i'm dead
i feel lifeless and cold
there's no warmth here left for you to hold
my bed and dreams a place of doom
this home life is a wreak
and i have everything... everything to forget

So **** this town and *******
cuase it won't mean a thing when my plans are thru
and it's not getting better, and it's not alright
and it won't be for a long, long time.

your changeing your ways
your just changeing nothing
you just can't bring back peace
You see these bright sky's
I see them in anger
I just can't look past your shame
your words just mean nothing
due to the warming of good bye.
It's fallen on me.  my head is ok, it's fallen on me.

and all our roads are gone
Zach Merrill Oct 2010
I'll tell you the truth today, the sun is shineing
And all the memories of last night keep  crawling in my skull
Do you remember the words you said as we drifted, as we went to bed.

And i'm trying for goodness sake,
to remember just what you say
cuase your trying for goodness sake to make it all ok
do you remember when we were young and wern't confused?
and we sang senceless nothings , late into the night so blue.

yes writeing just to be with you.
what happen after all of this what happen that i can't dismiss
we changed...
We forgot what it was to sing

And i think of you now, often in times of you.
That's why i'm writeing just to be with you.

in my...
Zach Merrill Oct 2010
What do i dream of life, and where it go so fast? oh, how Can always go back to those days in the port, on the grassy hill in front of the Bean. A gathering of sorts, an almost mecca for the everyday people and artist alike to enjoy thier coffee's or expand their mind's. Seldom know how i remember those warm golden sunsets on the beaches, where we'd look off on the horizen and wonder what tomorrow would bring. We'd lay on our warm towel's over sand after swiming in the cold waters of the atlantic that i miss so much. What are these days and nights i see before me, as i sway back and forth like a branch in these winter winds? I know who you are now with that draw, that look. Gasp as you see me before you, like a ghost in your mirror. Do you think about the molocules in your body, how the millions of them flow thru you now like my voice thru your ear? Hear me now in his room, with the blank unknown faces of yester year and today, sipping on their what have you's, dreaming of a better tomorrow. The only dream i dream today? I won't Remember in the morning...

Today is the day of dissputing.
Today is is the day I declare.
With these spells that you have are amazing.
And I'm trying my best not to care.
Not knowing what comes with tomorrow, well I guess that goes with the fun.
Fearing for the sun today, and hoping you won't go away.
I'll miss you before you leave.
It's not that I doubt how we feel, but the past is a cold, shivering sheet, that I'll always remember.  
And I want all the words to mean something, and I fear what they might just bring.
My feelings are draining one at a time, and I'm not sure that I can take it, that I will make it.

— The End —
