There I Go
I know you will never love me
It is written all over your face, your eyes…even the words that resides between the lines that circulate within the inside of your jaws
Yet here you are, there you go
I write these letters as reminders to myself
Reminders of when I thought and knew something was there
That at some point a spark was there but was too premature to flare up
How stupid was I to believe that, that caged bird was really trapped
When in actuality it was too afraid to take flight
I wish that I could make this shit up
I wish that our paths...

How do I
How can I tell you when you don’t even listen. How can I describe when you can’t even vision. I am only human and I feel like you forget. I’m not able to continue what makes me feel like I’ll regret. I can’t explain my side without you getting upset. My feelings get trumped by your better hand. Yet your better hand is always present in my losing land. I never believed in something to last forever. For forever is a long time and I’m ok with what’s usually severed. But me and you are no longer able to obviously cope. Blame it on me or blame it on the dope. One day you’ll have to accept what’s...

To the Ghost of an Old Man
Old man in my mind I just dont know
Loved or hated you sure seem polarizing
I guess we have that in common, huh?
It's like everything I've been told of you
Is full of was and wasn't, had and had not
Were you a good father and a good husband?
Or were you a bastard drunk traumatizing both
Were you simply human and capable of both
Alcohol can poison the sweetest of hearts I know
I know you loved your truck and fishing
I know you worked at a junk yard crushing things everyday
But who were you old man? I sure don't know
I'm...

If you can't love you can't hurt
I'm so terribly bored
To the point, I have started entertaining the idea of falling in love
With who I don’t know
I was hoping to find someone
Anyone I liked, really
I wasn’t overly picky
Or so I thought
but I couldn’t find anybody
No match was ever right for me
I told myself that these things take time
You can’t force feelings to come
You can fall in love just be patient
You know u can, I lied to myself
But to no avail
No matter how much time I spared no love was ever there...

Severing Ties
I thought about calling you
Thought about everything from what I would say if you were to answer the phone and if you didn’t
Hell I even thought about how long the text would be if I even decided to send it
This was until I though about what the outcome would be
To be in your presence although would be amazing
I am not sure if I would want to be lied too…again
How many times must a person say that they don’t want you before you actually believe them?
In reality I would say once but when in your feelings it is really multiple
And from there you have to...

An air of angst and ease— recycled
It's easy to breath
when you are gone
The air is crisp and clear
away, is the color
of emerald darkness
and unenviable congestion
Sunshine is at it's apex
perhaps in unspoken solidarity
truth is boldly placed
into the hands
of the wearied righteous
Feather-like,
is this air
It feels lighter ...
when you are gone

Feather-like,

All Too Well
You will remember this moment all too well
As I stood in front of you like the pouring
Rain, but you did not catch me as I fell.
The truth is that you were not soaring
Or flying to rescue me from the pain
I felt in my bones. You were not restoring
My faith in love as in the falling rain
You were not holding my lifeless frame.
You did everything you could to stain
My reputation that along with my name
Was tarnished and torn apart. You will
Think that this was all just a game
To forget about your...

Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Carmen the waitress says, “Are you bored with this side of town? I bet there are a lot of great attractions around the college town where you are going?”
“The reason I am moving is that the house needs a lot of repairs.”
“You told me that.”
Drawn by Auld Lang Syne my city wheels roll in clouds of time.
The weathered facades of a wooden portrait of the once-grand restaurant broke my heart. The candlelit room where I dined on my last supper with her had retreated to the size of a small tea...

After You
You and I have a complicated history.
I loved the chemistry and mystery
Between us before I learned that love
Is a losing game. I used to dream of
A future for the two of us. I used to
Think that I had a chance with you,
But nothing could prepare me for
The turmoil or tears to come. Before
I fell apart I walked away knowing
That some part of me was showing
That I was still in love with you. I
Tried to forget you but as I cried
Over who you used to be I could
No longer do this to myself. I would
Have run away from...

Last time
Some nights I overthink
Some nights its hard to speak
Speak what's on my mind and what I feel in my heart
Leaving you was real it was the loving you that was hard
This is the last time I speak about you
Last time I think about you
Last time I sit here and say there wasn't a me without you
Because there is and there was
I just didn't know who I once was
I lost her amongst all the drugs
I lost her amongst everything I thought the world once was
But I realize now this is the last time
This song wont have a hook ...
Some nights its hard to speak

But I realize now this is the last time
