Everything.
Seems so.
Pointless.
As though.
Nothing.
Improved.
Years spent.
Refining.
My writing.
For what?
Comments.
Live chats.
Everything.
Transitionary.
Liminal.
Passions.
Are what.
You can't stop.
Doing.
Even if you think it's futile.

Every.
Waking.
Moment.

For the still.
Sound.
Of.
Silence.

Dirty Little Secret
I regret, not telling you I love you,
When you needed it.
I forget, I always needed you,
And I didn't see it.
I'm losing it; the one I see through.
That I reflect.
When you needed it.
I forget, I always needed you,
And I didn't see it.
I'm losing it; the one I see through.
That I reflect.

I bait my own trap
I'll wait for myself to walk in and trip the mine

To say.
But
I've.
Lost my mind.

A mistake
How do you make
Someone love you
When they don’t

Especially me
Especially me
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day

Have Another
Keep drinking more shots
Ready to go to your house
Another mistake made

Rue
crumbled by fingers
dead sprigs drop to the damp ground
with my self-respect

Cemetery in my lungs
You died
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept
