I miss you more than you could ever know.
How much time has flown by - so much, so little.
But her memory is kept in me. I was afraid to admit...
I guess I still am, that she will never come back.
That I won't see her smile, that I won't feel her hugs.
How much she sacrificed just to bring me into this world.
She never gave up on me despite her own health.
And once I knew, would things have been different?
If she had listened to the doctors, and everyone else.
When I was a child it was so hard to take care of her.
Especially through the relapses and affects of treatment.
I...

Sadness
Sadness is worst of visits.
She drinks all our tea.
Devours all the cupcakes
and never goes away.
She drinks all our tea.
Devours all the cupcakes

I Am Of the Earth
I am of the earth,
nothing beyond.
Being of the earth
has been quite enough.
I began to exist
as the result of the natural urges
of my mother and father.
I was sperm.
I was egg.
And so, I am me for a time.
One among many on this planet,
inconsequential and forgettable.
But for this night,
I’ll surrender to the fleshly concerns
of this short life.
For this night,
I’ll indulge in the sweet pleasure
of physical touch,
tasting the earth
and sharing in its bounty.
This is only...
nothing beyond.
Being of the earth

the line beneath the metaphors
You ask me how I am
and we talk around the problem
your frustration
my lingering silence
if I don't tell you what's wrong
it won't make this real
I dream of ocean tides
pulling me under
it's only half a metaphor
I'm both the victim
and the predator
Top me up with dopamine
readjust these mood drops with Prozac
and enough talk therapy
to make me lose my voice
and the desire to set
my own mind on fire
You ask me how I am

like I dodge every...

Or Let Me Die
hold me
let me know you love me
inspire me
my vision gets blurry
trust me
because I need validation
talk with me
I just want to be heard
hurt me
but just make sure you also heal me
leave me
if I'm truly that hopeless
do this...
or just let me die
help me lift this weight
the pressure gets heavy
let me know it's ok to walk away
and let me know I can return
I've failed
tell me it's not forever
I've grown tired
but I can't sleep
tell me what it is I need to do ...
let me know you love me
inspire me
my vision gets blurry
trust me
because I need validation
talk with me
I just want to be heard
hurt me
but just make sure you also heal me
leave me
if I'm truly that hopeless
do this...
or just let me die
help me lift this weight
the pressure gets heavy
let me know it's ok to walk away
and let me know I can return
I've failed
tell me it's not forever
I've grown tired
but I can't sleep
tell me what it is I need to do ...

New Year/New Problems
I try not to get consumed by hate
some may think it's a choice
but no
it's a bunch of little things
you do what you're supposed to
work hard and pray to God
then you lose a friend
and then a pet
the bathroom floor needs fixed
the fucking repair man does a bad job
and you really don't need that shit
so what do you know?
you got a feeling
but you're not allowed to show
it's like taking two steps forward
only to get hit ten steps back
whenever you fix one thing
then...

Numb
I weary of finding myself bonded
To half hearted lovers.
The last ember of warmth
Stubbornly flickers
Yearning for a feeling
Long faded.
Memories serve no purpose
But to haunt me.
My love has grown cold
With no strong hands
To cradle it
And keep it safe.
I have become numb.
So numb.
To half hearted lovers.
The last ember of warmth
Stubbornly flickers
Yearning for a feeling
Long faded.
Memories serve no purpose
But to haunt me.
My love has grown cold
With no strong hands
To cradle it
And keep it safe.
I have become numb.
So numb.

why is it never Thursday?
I wake up to darkness
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness
of every single day
try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form
I'm the doppelganger of despair
I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee
play games on my phone
the kind where progress is so slow ...
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness
of every single day
try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form
I'm the doppelganger of despair
I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee
play games on my phone
the kind where progress is so slow ...

some days I get so sad I can't function
You tell me to get outside
and make myself feel better
I respond by slamming a door
in your face
I can hear laughter
through the cracked open window
and I wish I could touch it
like it's something tangible
I can inhale
but it's not
and so I listen to it drift away
on the breeze
unlike this mood I can't shake
from my leaden bones
I want to tell you I'm trying
that I'm fighting for better than this
but it's not a war you can see with your eyes
and there's no blood splatter
of...

Alone
I wake up alone
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
