Dear, God.
The days get longer as my life gets shorter.
I do my best to maintain but there's never any order.
I've given up on most things, an apathetic overdose.
I barely give a fuck about this world but it seems to be a fuck more than most.
Heartbroken and tired, my grandpa died a few hours ago.
He raised me like his son when my pops stepped out like a ho.
I miss him already, I'm tired of the fucking loss.
My bed is no longer for sleep but a place to turn and toss.
Once a relief now sleep is my enemy.
When the thoughts take over there is no defending me. ...

I'm glad I can't hate you...
I sit back and I think
Wondering how this all fell apart
How dare you drag me into this
And conceal that you don't have a heart
You tell me I'm not fit for
A life built with my back
My heart exploded into pieces
Did yours even crack?
Oh you don't have one
Shit I forgot
You're completely dead inside
But I never smelled the rot
This would be so much easier
If any of that were true
But there is no one to blame
Not me, not you
The simple truth is
We just couldn't make it work
How can love...

Bad Religion
I had a conversation with a lady that claims God is her father.
I told her God had long been done with me and she really shouldn't bother.
She continued on anyway, speaking rather boldly.
Most I'd heard many times before but I took in the things she told me.
She spoke of paying for sins and karma both good and bad.
She spoke of mans' destruction even though it made her sad.
I asked her why she did it, why she continued to care.
I was hanging on her answer, I was frozen in her stare.
She said to truly love was not in the nature of...

Less Human than Human
Everyday I wake up a little tireder than before.
My heart and my mind are once again waging their endless war.
My heart is full of hope towards what the new day may bring.
But my mind reminds me that nothing out there is ever worth anything.
No doubt there are things I love, myself not included.
The demons always present even if temporarily eluded.
I've lost all control, though I swear it wasn't willingly.
You preach on this and you preach on that but it's this life that is killing me.
I lay down and let them walk on me,...

Clocks
The sun started to set
So I walked outside to feel the cold.
Seems like just this morning I was a child
But now I feel so old.
I call out to those I love
I pray they are not dead.
The ones left look withered
With ticking clocks above their head.
I reach for their clocks to set them back
So together we'd have more time.
But the harder I try the more I realize
The only clock I can reach is mine.
It broke my heart to know that
one day I'd walk this earth alone.
So I hugged and kissed them all
Fought back the tears and...
