Go Ahead, Make Me
Go ahead,
make me cry again.
Hundreds of miles away, I cry.
I said your name, I cried.
I tried to explain, I cried.
Years away and I cry.
How far do I have to run
to outrun the memories of you?
How far until the compulsion to talk about "a friend I once knew" doesn't hurt like a stab in my heart?
How many band-aids do I have to find,
only to painfully rip them off?
No one will ever be you!
Some scars only look healed. ...

Working on a dysfunctional relationship
If you wouldn't mind
I would like to sleep
Don't want to think about nighttime
When you go off the deep
I hid all the scissors
And the knives you won't find
Anything that can cause me harm
Is something I'll always hide
If you wouldn't mind
When I fix my cereal
Don't mix crushed dog treats in
That should be criminal
I promise I'll try too
I'm not ready to be done
And I understand when
I put glue in your toothpaste
It's no longer fun
No more throwing things
That break or hurt ...

Falling walls
I built tall walls, I’ll never let them fall.
My heart lost its last brawl so behind these walls I crawl. Life’s been unkind, fucked up my mind. Got sick of getting hurt, so brick by brick myself I confined. Nobody tried or asked why I had my walls so high. Wait that’s a lie...
There was one guy, who stood by my side, held me when I cried, so many tears he dried,
He was my ride or die. I was his Bonnie, he was my Clyde. if I got off track he’d guide me back, endless support he’d always supply. As friends we stride, but lovers we collide. I just couldn’t let him inside, my walls...

Uncertainty
Where are we going
What lies ahead
We can't take back
The things that were said
Our perceptions have blurred
Our interests have waned
One long last look at you
On a slowly departing train
As we grow older
One of two choices we'll make
To fight the oncoming tide
Or drown in its wake
As for me I'm still riding
The top of the fence
The walk is a tense one
Filled with suspense
All I know is I love you
And that will never change
Please take my hand
And relieve this aching pain
What lies ahead

Apology
and a pound of flesh
willingly given exchanged

My Son
I have these thoughts in my head
I need to write down so that it can be read
Things can change in the blink of an eye
I've made mistakes wasting my life
What is the virtue of living if Life is a lie
But, if I die before I wake
I ask you my son my love to take
Don't forget me and believe
The lies and negative things said about me
I wasn't a perfect man
I'm sorry I could not be the perfect dad
I wish you could have known me better
Wish I could have been a better father figure
The first day I...

Declined
You, those jagged teeth
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back
I, my quick decline
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back

Forgiveness
She leads upstairs to her room
Dimly lit
Smoke burns my eyes
Ashtray overflowing
Clothes blanket the floor
We share a cigarette
She cries for me
Her tears are my cocaine
She undresses for me
Her nakedness is my endowment
She waits for me
Her breath is solitary
She screams for me
Her sound is impassioned
She bleeds for me
Her pain is celestial
She aches for me
Her body is airing
I leave the front door
Glance up to her window
The swaying is comforting
She forgives me
Her...

Why Can't I?
Why Can't I?
Stop Hearing Your Voice In The Wind
There, Softly, In Every Word Spoken
Lacerating My Heart With Each
Why Can't I?
Stop Seeing You In The Street
Corner Of My Eye You Are
Behind The Tears That Build
Why Can't I?
Stop Anticipating Your Return
Common Sense Is Unavailable
The Desolation Is Frightening
Why Can't I?
Free You Of This Spell
The Black Art Of Society
Compliance Is Easier Than Not
Why Can't I?
Sleep One Unbroken Night
You Are In My Dreams ...

I Am Sorry for Hurting You (My Love)
I am sorry if loving him hurts you.
I thought I could never love anyone
Until fate brought us together, but
I never meant to fall for his jokes
And sweet smile. Another blue
Sky was something I want to run
Far away from. I was down in a rut
I could not escape from. The strokes
Of his paintbrush brought me back
To life. I am sorry if you had to keep
Your distance from our love because
It burned, but did not last for long.
I am sorry if we fell off the tracks
In the middle of the night. I fell deep
For someone who had me...

For That I Am Sorry
I am sorry if you think I am going to apologize
For cracks or imperfections within myself that
You find offensive. I talk too much or talk too
Little. I laugh when I meant to cry. I have eyes
That say a lot. I feel alive as others have a flat
Line. I look for the words to bring back the blue
Sky. I am sorry for trying to find all the goodness
Within people who have had a harder time than
Me. I am sorry for laying my heart on the line for
Those who would do the same. I have the fullness
Within my heart for the apology that matters. Scan ...

Spouses, Partners and Dream Lovers
I neglected the fantasy
when the shackles of reality
required my complete attention
to put the baggage
of a previous disappointment
behind me
We hadn't spoken
since I was asked to leave
and that stung
but despite all reservations
and the dismay of my current partner
the former reached out
Ignoring the initial communication
and secretly speculative of the motive,
it seemed I would never summon
to resolve this feud
in which I would always be the victim
But when things stay with you, ...
