Invisibibilty
That moment
When you see things
You don't want to see
Because
They are not there
And you hoped
You'd really hoped
That some echo
Of your existence
Was floating around
In the ether
Of your non-existence
Dreams
Of your desired realities

Beautiful tears
Life has an expiration date.
Call it sad or call it fate.
It has to end and all fades away.
You can fight against it but you can’t evade.
Remember your dead for they are not here.
You have loved them now for years and years,
And when you next meet them you will once more be near.
Their ending was not the beginning of your tears.
You have already cried and you did not die.
They fade away but you hold their light.
Inside your heart is where you will find them.
They will be waiting for you at your bitter end.
...

Invisible Again
Like a ghost
Unseen
Unheard
Perhaps absurd
The only time
It's no crime
I get seen
Like an unseen beauty queen
My features
Etched in charcoal
On virgin white paper
Wearing just my skin
Perhaps
One day
When artists portray me
I'll be invisible
An empty page
Not a wise old sage
And one day soon
Perhaps
I will no longer
Cast a reflection
In my old dusty mirror
Nor a shadow
In the sun
My silhouette gone
As i become
Completely invisible
Perhaps the last year ...

alcove
telephone pole like découpage
a message posted there
for the dead moon
a white chalk outline
your alcove up the way
i can think of amputations
of 4th degree burns
suicides from skyscrapers
angels in razor wire
eyes becoming volcanic glass
if i could only dream of you
if i could just stay there...
it's okay to be sad...
that's what it says
this telephone pole
in los feliz

Sorry, I have to leave you
I can't stay on this path
I have to change the road
Life goes on
Some things have to change
Nothing is completely black or white
If you want to take the good
You have to take the bad too
It hurts me so much
But I have to leave you
I can't tell you this because you wouldn't understand
Please believe me I still love you
I have to hope you won't believe I've abandoned you
Cause I never could
Cause I still love you
I hope you can cope
I hope your life can go on
Without too much rain ...

Dark souls
Feels like I have died inside.
Still walking through the tears I have cried.
Memories walk with me by my side
And in my dreams is the only way I can fly.
Thinking of a girl who died soul free.
In the middle of the night she spoke with me.
She said let yourself go and dump your non-energy.
It only eats away at you, time after time, believe me.

Cello
Each night I take you in my arms
then pull you between my legs
My embrace steers a mysterious
path through my senses
You trigger emotional responses,
tears which flow spontaneously
from my lonely eyes,
vulnerable and maudlin
You sing to me, reminiscent of a human voice, reaching from the highest to the lowest in the timbre
Your sound feels familiar, safe, with symbolism heightened
An underlying emotion of death or loss runs through my soul
Unfathomable deep cries
call to me as I stroke your
strings...
then pull you between my legs
My embrace steers a mysterious
path through my senses

Your sound feels familiar, safe, with symbolism heightened

SHOULD I STAY or SHOULD I GO
SHOULD I STAY or SHOULD I GO
As you sigh, you're telling me it's past time to go
rejection bubbles deep to the surface of my skin.
You are going home to be with her, this I know
but, when will it be my chance, so I can win?
You often tell me I satisfy your needs like no other
yet, I am the one left here with a hunger & thirst.
She's more a roommate, you say, than your lover
yet, I'm still placed on the side, instead of first.
Nightfalls, I'm lonely knowing you're holding her
how my body aches and craves your gentle touch. ...

It's Going Down
It's going down when I touch down.
When I touch down it's going down.
30,000 feet up in the air.
Can't wait to show you how I care.
When I get a hold of you oh girl.
I'm going to rock your world.
I can't wait to squeeze you.
I can't wait to hug you.
I can't wait to kiss you.
I can't wait to see you.
It's been months since I haven't seen you.
Long distance is killing me, I miss you, boo.
I'm on vacation and I wanna spend some time.
With my baby my partner in crime.
I got an hour and a half to touch down. ...

Betrayal
I lost my mind today.
They say I look ok,
Because they cannot see,
The truth being betrayed;
But I saw it in you and I laughed.
Not again, I am oh so daft,
To believe in love after all this time.
A sucker punch…a final line.

How Freeing.
I feel so human,sometimes.
Yet my flaws,just by being human,
Runs away with me.
I wish I was perfect,
In the deepness of your eyes.
But I know I shall never be.
How sad,it can feel,
2 recognise how frail we all can be.
For some,
Its moments,
That set them free.
For me-
I can only be imperfect.
As God designed me.
Yet perfect,
In his eyes-- T.R.U.E.L.Y.
I wish I was perfect,
In the deepness of your eyes.
Oh,how freeing
That would be.
Freeing...
Yet my flaws,just by being human,
Runs away with me.
I wish I was perfect,
In the deepness of your eyes.
But I know I shall never be.
How sad,it can feel,
2 recognise how frail we all can be.
For some,

That set them free.

I can only be imperfect.

Yet perfect,
In his eyes-- T.R.U.E.L.Y.

Oh,how freeing
That would be.

About----
She's a flake.
All she thinks of, is herself.
That's why she's dumped me on me.
She doesn't care about me.
She spends all her time dating all these different men.
My Dad!
He's always on tour.
Tour 2 where. I don't know.
I don't care any how.
Nobody does.
Nobody cares about me.
Not even me.
You do!
Do you!
No, you don't care about me.
All you care about is money?
