Nowhere
It’s a tangible thing
I am there
I can’t leave
While you grow
I wallow
In the
Defecation
Of ignorance

the sting
Zachary Fore Oct 2010
I touched her knee as I left
--she asked me to turn off the lights
I closed her door and walked into my room
I picked up a guitar and wrote a song
it was decent--

the next morning, it all set in
--I threw up--
I made sure the fan was off so she might hear what she did
she slept through the gagging
none of it mattered
because, the night before,
I spilled my guts
told her all I could
and we're just friends
to her
"there's no way you feel nothing"
"there are plenty of fish in the sea"

I'm the fifth guy she's done this to
this sting has to be the worst of them all
I have no desire for friendship
I just made another enemy
and I love her more than anything
but that love is turning
with
slow
spiteful
hatred
but I do love her
and feel like I always will

the ******* *****...

life
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
I just realized,
that I will grow to be
a selfish old man
who uses words to make up for the things he
never did
never said
chances he never took
these words will make paragraphs
and poems
and they will make books
that people will look to for advice
when I,
I will be looking for advice in
those who read them
and they will never see
that I need
more help
than they
ever
did

Zachary Fore Sep 2010
we didn’t talk
for weeks
I hadn’t felt
close for longer
as this
slowly ate
away at
all in
me that was
humane
I slowly
regained myself
and decided
that I
was going to
start
from
scratch

friends
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
The best ones
I have
I don’t like
I really
don’t like anyone
I may not seem
Reclusive
It’s a farce
I already know
My best years
Will be spent
Inebriated
And I
don’t even like
To drink

God
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
God
Crying out in a fit of rage
Dying soon there after
the sun
blood red
perched above the tree of knowledge
keeping guard over all
This is God

not good
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
There are millions of words
With millions of connotations
I chose these
Does that make me original?

loss
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
When words were exchanged
You only heard yourself
And I pity you for it
Should I?
You won’t ever know any better
And it kills me
You win

fast lane
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
The most beautiful people
are those that live quickly
when you stagnate
you die
while I stagnate,
I yearn for speed
stuck
I will go nowhere

once in a while,
I’ll sing to myself
I’ll pick up a guitar
strum out a few chords
knowing it isn’t good
should I?
it makes me happy
but doesn’t effect anyone
else-
then, I knew
nothing I knew
was for me
that, I found,
was when
my search
began

no, it's not right
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
The old man
walked with purpose
I thought
Why grow old?
with his best years
behind him
he turned towards me
and collapsed

you
Zachary Fore Sep 2010
you
I trust
that you
will always
be far away
even as I
make strides
you shield
yourself
I am not
a good man
but passion
is seeded
beneath
everything
I may never
Let it
Out

— The End —
