Crippling Pain
Crippling pain isn't always the same.
It won't go away.
You are gone cause I was too late.
Now I'm here crying for two days.
Soon to be three just wish you'd see.
With you no longer here daily I bleed.
I wish you had stayed.
Now I'm without a friend.
Left only with crippling pain.
It won't go away.
You are gone cause I was too late.
Now I'm here crying for two days.
Soon to be three just wish you'd see.
With you no longer here daily I bleed.
I wish you had stayed.
Now I'm without a friend.
Left only with crippling pain.

To Burn [Dad]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My father
Instead
You let
Your career shield you
From your responsibilities
To your family
You were always a ghost
Always working, never home
Hiding all of your emotions
As if you were an empty host
So imagine my surprise
How impacting it was when
You used corporal punishment
As a means of discipline
And imagine my surprise
As a teen, dying inside
Full of repressed secrets
When you shook me by the arms
I...
To show me love
30 years to be
My father
Instead
You let
Your career shield you
From your responsibilities
To your family
You were always a ghost
Always working, never home
Hiding all of your emotions
As if you were an empty host
So imagine my surprise
How impacting it was when
You used corporal punishment
As a means of discipline
And imagine my surprise
As a teen, dying inside
Full of repressed secrets
When you shook me by the arms

Crime Diary
Extracted from my crime diary..
An extract from a crime diary..
Castaway in this journey..
Whoever sees can tell am in such a hurry..
Hitch hiking at times got lifted lorry to lorry..
Repeat after me, I say Oh! No!..
I don't consider this an honor..
And until I happen to man up..
"I know, but I'll take my chances anyway.. Placing bets taking odds upon the wrestlers of sumo..
Hotel receptionist I met in the bar her name is Holi..
My thrombi blocked by an emboli..
Can't...

Sewing Sanity
When I was nine my great grandma put a needle in my handles
She told me everyone should know these stitches
I watched her closely and mimiced her movements
Her hands moved gracefully in sheer spite of the arthritis
The needle reflecting the summer sunset from through the window
She'd tell me stories from Ireland and the bible
Fairytales and religion, about our family
All while she taught me how to sew
Sometimes it would be all of us there
All of us kids around the too small table
A massive pile of scrap fabric, spools, needles and such things ...
She told me everyone should know these stitches
I watched her closely and mimiced her movements
Her hands moved gracefully in sheer spite of the arthritis
The needle reflecting the summer sunset from through the window
She'd tell me stories from Ireland and the bible
Fairytales and religion, about our family
All while she taught me how to sew
Sometimes it would be all of us there
All of us kids around the too small table
A massive pile of scrap fabric, spools, needles and such things ...

Suicidal Ballerina
Well, you're dancing on a bridge
an arabesque, a pirouette
it's hard to watch, but I can't forget
oh no I can't
You may be a swan,
but before I'm gone
I hope those wings
can save you
Because baby, you're going mad
baby, you make me... sad
maybe you'll never be the best
I'll ever have but something
about the way you hurt yourself
hurts me more than it should have
Your grand jete, my heart's in pain
you leap across the arches
and I can't look away
blood from your hands
slipping on...

Universe
Human souls contain galaxies
with minds spanning universes
I’m not supposed to know this
or be so keenly aware of the abyss
Greater, stronger minds than mine
have known and felt and shattered
They never come back to earth
Always different and forever alone
with minds spanning universes
I’m not supposed to know this
or be so keenly aware of the abyss
Greater, stronger minds than mine
have known and felt and shattered
They never come back to earth
Always different and forever alone

With uncertainty
I look back on you saying
“It’s not you- it’s me”
I look back on you saying

A Piece of My Heart
Only you
Make me,
Me
Only you
Saw how I fell.
I fell.
Jealous of how
You're happy.
Without me.
Looking back
Acting happy.
Not so great.
Whats real
Was how I feel
No doubt.
Only you
Really knew me
Through and through.
I must let go
The person I knew
It's you.
In my heart
Always a part
Hidden away
The rest shall stay
Not complete.
Distorted...

The end of the world
.. ... ... ...
The end of the world
A dream
A nightmare
Intuition
Chaotic transition
Stressed
Confused
Scared
Desperate looking for answers
Desperate looking for signs
Has it happened countless times?
It is pervasive
It is exhausting
Intuition
Chaotic Interpretations
Is it happening again now ?
Access to it is intrinsic to a conscious reasoning
While our intuition keeps on guiding us

Happy new year?
It's a new year
Amazed and astonished
That I'm still here
Despite my best efforts
To find a hasty demise
I awkwardly awaken
To find I still have time
Each year that passes
My grip seems to loosen
And with incompetent ignorance
I still can't fathom what I'm losing
So with an inexperienced clumsiness
I'll walk through this world
Foolishly dumbfounded
By the logic of
Why me?
Amazed and astonished

So with an inexperienced clumsiness
I'll walk through this world
Foolishly dumbfounded
