Faster
You’re hurting inside
Feeling alone
Wishing you could be more.
Run a little faster.
You’re holding back
Smiling bright
While tearing yourself down.
Run a little faster.
You’re driving forward
A goal to reach and time to beat
One disappointment at a time.
Run a little faster.
Don’t let them see your dreams
Don’t let them know you feel
Don’t let them break you.
Run a little faster.
Feeling alone
Wishing you could be more.
Run a little faster.
You’re holding back
Smiling bright
While tearing yourself down.
Run a little faster.
You’re driving forward
A goal to reach and time to beat
One disappointment at a time.
Run a little faster.
Don’t let them see your dreams
Don’t let them know you feel
Don’t let them break you.
Run a little faster.

Shadow Friend
Please talk to me.
Can’t you see I’m searching?
Don’t you know how lonely it is?
Sit,
Stay awhile.
Just say something.
How dull it must be beside me.
To take every step I take.
Please talk to me.
Off the wall
Off the floor,
And into being.
Tell me she’ll talk to me again,
Tell me not to worry.
Please tell me I’m not alone.
Why won’t you just say something?
Please talk to me.
I’ll take a smile,
Maybe even a wave.
You have been with me every step
With me in every light.
I think it’s time we...
Can’t you see I’m searching?
Don’t you know how lonely it is?
Sit,
Stay awhile.
Just say something.
How dull it must be beside me.
To take every step I take.
Please talk to me.
Off the wall
Off the floor,
And into being.
Tell me she’ll talk to me again,
Tell me not to worry.
Please tell me I’m not alone.
Why won’t you just say something?
Please talk to me.
I’ll take a smile,
Maybe even a wave.
You have been with me every step
With me in every light.
I think it’s time we...

A Refusal to Say Goodbye
Ripped Jeans
Paint covered boots
A Jays cap
A winter Jacket unzipped,
Hands in his pockets
Back hunched as he retreated from the cold-
He stepped forward.
He’d missed the procession
Missed the party
Missed the ceremony…
All on purpose.
He knew she of all people would understand
He knew he couldn't handle it
And so he skipped.
He’s alone.
Nothing but he,
And a headstone.
“Did you have to go so soon?
Couldn't you wait for me?
Are you waiting now?
Don’t you dare tell me I can do without!
I will smack y-0-u….”...

The final salute goodbye
The pitter patter of rain
The glance of a child
The stance of a man
The death of a friend.
Confusion enters through us who do not understand.
Why is he standing in the rain?
What does the dead man mean to him?
What good is standing in the rain?
The pitter patter of rain
The placing of a small flag
The tears of a grown man
The solemn salute.
The war has ended for the man who lies below.
There are no sides
No winners
No losers now.
Simply a small flag and a salute.
The pitter patter of rain
The remembrance of a friend...
The glance of a child
The stance of a man
The death of a friend.
Confusion enters through us who do not understand.
Why is he standing in the rain?
What does the dead man mean to him?
What good is standing in the rain?
The pitter patter of rain
The placing of a small flag
The tears of a grown man
The solemn salute.
The war has ended for the man who lies below.
There are no sides
No winners
No losers now.
Simply a small flag and a salute.
The pitter patter of rain
The remembrance of a friend...

The Perfect Moment
A friend and I
I with a friend
A friend with me
I not a boyfriend
Her not a girlfriend-
Simply friends.
Sometimes walking
Sometimes stopping-
But always talking.
Ideas exchanged
Voices heard
Moments passed-
All alone
Not a stalker
Parent
Nor guardian near.
The time to talk is here
The time to think is now
I am there.
Our time is up
The clock has moved
And I-
Have said something meaningful.
The look in her eye
The smile in her face
The arm on my shoulder tell me.
The scene has gone as hoped...
I with a friend
A friend with me
I not a boyfriend
Her not a girlfriend-
Simply friends.
Sometimes walking
Sometimes stopping-
But always talking.
Ideas exchanged
Voices heard
Moments passed-
All alone
Not a stalker
Parent
Nor guardian near.
The time to talk is here
The time to think is now
I am there.
Our time is up
The clock has moved
And I-
Have said something meaningful.
The look in her eye
The smile in her face
The arm on my shoulder tell me.
The scene has gone as hoped...

Carpe Diem (Seize the day)
10 feet between you
Nothing but empty space
Feelings
Emotions
And thoughts between you.
Walk with confidence
Don’t look pathetic
Don’t walk too fast
Don’t look too nervous-
Carpe Diem.
Thoughts escape and betray
As you cross paths.
You missed the moment
You did not-
Carpe Diem.
Now you’re back to where it began-
Feelings
Emotions
Space
And thoughts.
You could have done many things before-
Turned and talked as she walked
Stopped her to talk
Hugged her.
Carpe Diem.
But alas that moment is...
Nothing but empty space
Feelings
Emotions
And thoughts between you.
Walk with confidence
Don’t look pathetic
Don’t walk too fast
Don’t look too nervous-
Carpe Diem.
Thoughts escape and betray
As you cross paths.
You missed the moment
You did not-
Carpe Diem.
Now you’re back to where it began-
Feelings
Emotions
Space
And thoughts.
You could have done many things before-
Turned and talked as she walked
Stopped her to talk
Hugged her.
Carpe Diem.
But alas that moment is...

A Shoulder to Abuse
If you need to cry
If you need something to punch
If you need something to gnaw on-
You have my shoulder.
I’d prefer you don’t gnaw,
But it will be there.
I don’t know if it’s a good shoulder
If it’s hard
Soft
Fat
Bony
Or even hollow.
But I know it will be there for you.
My shoulder won’t help,
But they tell me it’s connected to my head
And In my head lies me
And I will always be there for you,
Shoulder and all.
If you need something to punch
If you need something to gnaw on-
You have my shoulder.
I’d prefer you don’t gnaw,
But it will be there.
I don’t know if it’s a good shoulder
If it’s hard
Soft
Fat
Bony
Or even hollow.
But I know it will be there for you.
My shoulder won’t help,
But they tell me it’s connected to my head
And In my head lies me
And I will always be there for you,
Shoulder and all.

Icy Silence
It’s dark and cold
My breath is visible,
And there’s snow all around me.
I huddle in my jacket
Walking step by step
Headphones blasting.
It must be winter
And I must be out at night.
A familiar scene to me-
Lamp post lights illuminate-
Snow
Road,
And ice.
All I have is my music,
I sing to it,
And walk.
Watching afar it must look fun,
But it isn’t.
It’s a romantic scene I play in my head as I walk in the snow.
Me with a special someone,
Me to ask them if they’re cold
Me to to offer my coat
Me to speak....
My breath is visible,
And there’s snow all around me.
I huddle in my jacket
Walking step by step
Headphones blasting.
It must be winter
And I must be out at night.
A familiar scene to me-
Lamp post lights illuminate-
Snow
Road,
And ice.
All I have is my music,
I sing to it,
And walk.
Watching afar it must look fun,
But it isn’t.
It’s a romantic scene I play in my head as I walk in the snow.
Me with a special someone,
Me to ask them if they’re cold
Me to to offer my coat
Me to speak....

What would you do?
I’m going on a walk
I’m missing a friend.
I’m going on a walk
It’s lonely and I miss that smile.
I’m going on a walk
I think I’ll visit my friend.
What would you tell me?
What would you say?
What would you do?
Would you smile and make me smile?
I’m next to you
You can’t talk, but I will anyways.
No matter the weather
I’ll be there every week.
No matter how busy
I will come to talk to you.
What would you tell me?
What would you say?
What would you do?
Would you smile and make me smile?
I...
