POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
There's a reason we don't talk
The twitching
In my left eye
Has nothing to do
With you
Hell
I wish it did.
In my left eye
Has nothing to do
With you
Hell
I wish it did.

Lovingly
Thoughts of her arise
Like thistles in the garden
From deep down
The prickly memories grow
Spreading like a blight
On my waking mind
Try and grasp them
Just to be hurt
The only solution
Is to dig them out
Only to dig them up
Next year
Like thistles in the garden
From deep down
The prickly memories grow
Spreading like a blight
On my waking mind
Try and grasp them
Just to be hurt
The only solution
Is to dig them out
Only to dig them up
Next year

Native
Melting beeswax into green
Western red cedar
As the blossoms bloom
From the cherry plum
At the edge of the field
I've never felt so connected
And so disjointed from the world
Around me
I've no idea what I'm doing
Nor what I want
Western red cedar
As the blossoms bloom
From the cherry plum
At the edge of the field
I've never felt so connected
And so disjointed from the world
Around me
I've no idea what I'm doing

Bridges, Canyons
I've no
Real connections
I've let them delapidate
To see if they would repair their end
(They didn't)
I've burned the second chances
To keep me warm, searching for more
(I find none)
All I want from you now is please
Just leave me alone
After eight years
I finally know
What it all meant
(Not a damn thing)

As if
We were in a movie
Played brilliantly
To an empty theatre
We had only so many
Worn pages left
In a poorly written book
It all used to
Feel
I don't know
Real

Since I loved anything
I told you it wasn't your fault
As I walked away, hand held up
Don't follow me
It wouldn't be fair
I'm a mess
My heart is a lead ball of anxiety
Wrapped up so carefully with guilt
It used to be yours
long ago
How I wish I could give it back
Because feeling hollow inside
may as well be better than this
As I walked away, hand held up
Don't follow me

Wrapped up so carefully with guilt
It used to be yours
long ago
How I wish I could give it back
Because feeling hollow inside
may as well be better than this

This windy night
As a child I never knew what I had
The darker days ahead seemed so far
The candle flame that is you
Can easily have hand cupped behind
And pursed lips ready
When
Each night is windy
The flame holds on
Only
To go out in an instant
The darker days ahead seemed so far
The candle flame that is you
Can easily have hand cupped behind
And pursed lips ready
When
Each night is windy
The flame holds on
Only
To go out in an instant

Smoke break
I gotta say
there are a lot
of shitty people out there.
Most people don't want to hear it.
They wait for you to get it over with.
If your point takes a minute damn it man
hurry it up.
So they can continue whatever the fuck
they wanted to say.
As if I didn't have anything meaningful
to say.
As if I didn't have a damn thing to add
like I'm some inconvenience
passing in annoyance.
Just stay quiet, like you always have.
Keep it to yourself,...

Its just a job, man
Pick your favorite place
Imagine it just how
You remember
Your people are gathered here
Everyone you've ever met
Things are about to happen
Great and wonderful
Except you're not ready
Not yet
Not yet
And you aren't prepared
In the slightest sense of the word

Things are about to happen

Nicotine
We're always looking for something
Something in others we can
Relate to
Some people
Are finding the flaws
More compatible than the rest
I pick them apart
I see that what is left
Not worth my time
I've found the worst in you
But it
Its somehow still better
Than what
Keeps me up at night
Something in others we can
Relate to
Some people
Are finding the flaws
More compatible than the rest
I pick them apart
I see that what is left
Not worth my time
I've found the worst in you
But it
Its somehow still better
Than what
Keeps me up at night

Delusions
I didn't plan
Or want to be
Cynical
Bitter
Or lonely
But here we are
Its just all so disappointing
Whether to give up
Or give in
Seems to make no difference

I wish there was something in me
That could be strong enough
To apologize
To feel sorry
If I told you
Would I even come across
Sincerely
I just can't tell
What I did to you
Could hardly be forgiven
With a simple apology
They've all since stopped caring
Anyhow
