SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO REBUILD
They say with wisdom and knowledge is the key to understanding, what is the true value of your thoughts and feelings of your own past and future. Because for that reason you wouldn't have a life to live and love. They say what is the true story of your heart, that sometimes feels hurt and pain that takes you down a deep dark hole. Sometimes leaving your thoughts, cold and afraid of your own feelings making your heart, not beat just cold to the touch of warmth from genuine hands. But yet through the procedure of dealing with the drama and deepness, that seems to attack the very fabric of your...

That line of too far, too close, too much
I watch it recede
in my rear view
again
in my rear view

deep.
it's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew" ~Henry Rollins
I start
with the when
forcing my thoughts
to navigate around it
avoiding
so i feel it less
which leaves me darker
more broken tender
-thoughts of it should be easier-
then
the now
the today.
knowing
yet futile
in my constant wishing
(ohh those wishes)
... how they burrow in those places

Unsure
I'm not sure if these tears are for you
Or the ghosts of what could have been
That haunt me in yellowing love notes,
Book pressed baby's breath,
And the sparkling eyes of this beautiful mess we made.
I'm not sure if this ache in my chest is real
Or if it's just one too many cigarettes
Chain-smoked in the dry air of this trailer
Trying to fill the empty space
Of a quiet house, void of all our naive promises.
I'm not sure if that look in your eyes hides the same pain
Or if you see only a shell of the girl you loved ...
Or the ghosts of what could have been
That haunt me in yellowing love notes,
Book pressed baby's breath,
And the sparkling eyes of this beautiful mess we made.
I'm not sure if this ache in my chest is real
Or if it's just one too many cigarettes
Chain-smoked in the dry air of this trailer
Trying to fill the empty space
Of a quiet house, void of all our naive promises.
I'm not sure if that look in your eyes hides the same pain
Or if you see only a shell of the girl you loved ...

THE WORM IN MY HEAD
THE WORM IN MY HEAD
The worm in my head never died
as it slowly decomposed
eating me alive to survive
in early life, gnawing on my
social weakness...
....anxiety in general society
consuming a hazy glaze
Zooming in when entering a room.
Doom.
I felt dizzy in the book store.
I had saved up money to buy
a writer's market book for that year.
I wanted to send out submissions
of my short stories.
(and I did) ...(Not a complete loss.)
I found what I needed.
And I found out that the cashier
was this...
The worm in my head never died

I Think Of You
When I'm sad and
alone,
I think of you.
Reaching for my phone,
stopping myself
because we were then - not now.
Instead I wait and
will for it to buzz,
showing your name.
alone,
I think of you.
Reaching for my phone,
stopping myself
because we were then - not now.
Instead I wait and
will for it to buzz,
showing your name.

Remembering James..
Memories of you race around in my head,
i can still hear you laughing, something funny you said.
I was with you my whole life, since i was 15..
Thru good times and bad times and all the stuff in between...
Now your not here and i'm not sure what to do,
I took you for granted but you did me that way too.
Now the core of my being is riddled with grief,
and this pain that i'm feeling is beyond my belief..
Im so lost without you and I feel so alone.
I stand at your grave, i see your name there in stone.
How on earth do I do this, without...

Once upon ....
Once upon reality, where nothings as it seems,
Once upon a sleepless night, null and void of dreams.
Once upon a lifetime, a modern fairytale...
"If at first you don't succeed, forever you will fail."
Once upon a daydream, in which you know you don't belong,
Once upon a heart break, where the pain was very strong.
Once upon some high hopes, when the truth came crashing down...
Once upon the solitude, when no one is around.
Once upon lost kisses, that could light a fire inside..
Once upon a sea of tears, that i alone have cried.
Once upon a...
Once upon a sleepless night, null and void of dreams.

"If at first you don't succeed, forever you will fail."
Once upon a daydream, in which you know you don't belong,

PRIMAL MIND
Morbid,
Morbid!
Slowly, the dragon coaxes his slow but
precise ambulatory apparatus.
Deep from within the primal mind,
We all exude marvelous exhortations, excretions and exhibitions.
Yet as the dragons glassy, languid, beaded eyes
fix upon our hapless hero,
So is his innocence consumed.
Morbid!

In Between
There’s strange things in everything
And we got caught in the in between
Where prayers pray for the blind to see
But no one really knows
Where we’re at and where we need to go
Step back into nothing’s stare
To feel only the orphan’s glare
Of a past we lived and just left behind
But then it never really crossed our minds
Our past would finally unwind
From winds from long ago
How the hell were we supposed to know
Where we’ve been is where we need to go
And we got caught in the in between
Where prayers pray for the blind to see
But no one really knows
Where we’re at and where we need to go
Step back into nothing’s stare
To feel only the orphan’s glare
Of a past we lived and just left behind
But then it never really crossed our minds
Our past would finally unwind
From winds from long ago
How the hell were we supposed to know
Where we’ve been is where we need to go

first frost
Shots fired on both sides of the field -
"I can see the whites of their eyes but there's no pupil to yield"
The seasons greetings get harder to exclaim to your friends
Getting drunk in the back seat,
trapped in time,
you're shaking,
inebriated,
terrified, but you're loving every second -
and thats the truth.
I'm reminded of the fact that we're most fearless when we believe we have nothing left to lose.
First thoughts at the first frost was
"I'm not ready to do this again"
And if it takes a year of forgetting I'll forget all...

DARKNESS OF LOVE
There comes a time in which we have to go through the procedure of understanding, how the heart works and doesn't work when it concerns matters of the heart and soul. For it is those moments that we become, lost and somewhat, in a replacement state of mind yet not by what we feel and think but by the makings of our thoughts. For we all have regrets, about some situations, where we had no control over in reality. But the truth of the matter is that we will have to go through the procedure, and process of learning and understanding how we can get pass through the trials and tribulations. For...
