Hey Daddy'o, Just GO find (dead) Leah Marie. Or, just GO.
no thing left to laugh at,
but laugh away I'm sure
to do......
nothing nothing left to laugh at
since
she went Away....Forever....
she went Away....Forever....
she went Away....Forever....(and ever, Amen)
Eye can only laugh through floods of tears.
(Is that considered laughing ? )
I made a terrible mis-take last month,
kinda because eye could NOT stand to read the book I (w)rote
about Leah Marie about Leah Marie
about my Leah......
...
but laugh away I'm sure
to do......
nothing nothing left to laugh at
since
she went Away....Forever....
she went Away....Forever....
she went Away....Forever....(and ever, Amen)
Eye can only laugh through floods of tears.
(Is that considered laughing ? )
I made a terrible mis-take last month,
kinda because eye could NOT stand to read the book I (w)rote
about Leah Marie about Leah Marie
about my Leah......

Coming Undone
There is a pure kind of beauty in the shining sun,
The kind of beauty that allows these feelings to come undone,
I could cry in the rain
Show the whole world this pain
Alternatively I can lie under the glistening rays
Keep all that hurts me at bay
In the sun no one thinks to check twice
My poor heart surely pays the price
Although my lips will never tell
Isn’t it sad that no one knows me that well?
I wonder if his heart breaks when he hears my name
Or does his conscience cry out in guilt and shame?
Does the music have him think...
The kind of beauty that allows these feelings to come undone,
I could cry in the rain
Show the whole world this pain
Alternatively I can lie under the glistening rays
Keep all that hurts me at bay
In the sun no one thinks to check twice
My poor heart surely pays the price
Although my lips will never tell
Isn’t it sad that no one knows me that well?
I wonder if his heart breaks when he hears my name
Or does his conscience cry out in guilt and shame?
Does the music have him think...

Sorry
Elton John sings "What do I say when it's all over?
and Sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation"
It's 1 word, 5 letters
If you take a moment and own your piece
It shows that it wasn't all for nothing
and Sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation"
It's 1 word, 5 letters
If you take a moment and own your piece
It shows that it wasn't all for nothing

Hurt People, Hurt People
Hurt People hurt

Hurting People

hurt people.
(Hurt people hurt hurting and hurt, Hurt people, hurting, as well)
It’s been said
many times
that we cannot
combat our dark
with more of
… the same.
Likewise,
when we hurt
how then,
can we,
rise at a higher plane
& vibration
If
we hurt
rather than forgive?

Noel Gallagher
Somethings happening to me I'm drifing down this endless sea of melancholy
And I look into the mirror at my eyes
The redness tells the tale that I have cried
But if it wasn't for the music
If it wasnt for the music ide av died
Throughout life and peoples endless lies
If it wasnt for the music ide
av died
Flying through this endless sky of all the things that's made me cry watching this life pass me by sitting here with my hands tied
If it wasn't for the music
If it wasnt for the music ide av died
And I look into the mirror at my eyes
The redness tells the tale that I have cried
But if it wasn't for the music
If it wasnt for the music ide av died
Throughout life and peoples endless lies
If it wasnt for the music ide
av died
Flying through this endless sky of all the things that's made me cry watching this life pass me by sitting here with my hands tied
If it wasn't for the music
If it wasnt for the music ide av died

pitch black
it’s dark in here, pitch black
i hear my voice, but it isn’t me
she’s sad, miserable, and unkind
that’s not me
but she sounds like me...
and i can see what she sees
hear what she hears
and her thoughts too...
they’re so despairing
i want to get out but, i can’t.
a box? i’m in a box?
why am i here and she’s out there?
she’s ruining everything!
but they think it’s me..
it’s not me
they ask her what’s wrong and i’m screaming
“get me out! help! i’m trapped!”
but no one can hear...
i hear my voice, but it isn’t me
she’s sad, miserable, and unkind
that’s not me
but she sounds like me...
and i can see what she sees
hear what she hears
and her thoughts too...
they’re so despairing
i want to get out but, i can’t.
a box? i’m in a box?
why am i here and she’s out there?
she’s ruining everything!
but they think it’s me..

He Walked the Night
He's a lonely man, spends his nights in midst of death,
Restless he senses the voices, in his dreams he is afraid.
Each repressed thoughts, their schemes he doesn’t know,
He looks for words, meaning of which perished long ago.
He feels the echoes, on the same plane as him,
Thousands of souls walk the night, in light so dim.
Stars lit the night, as meteors wash the world ablaze,
Violet haze fills the void and tears drop from his face.
He caught a glimpse, in his dreams,
Of thinly woven strings,
Of thousand wings unfurling. ...
Restless he senses the voices, in his dreams he is afraid.
Each repressed thoughts, their schemes he doesn’t know,
He looks for words, meaning of which perished long ago.
He feels the echoes, on the same plane as him,
Thousands of souls walk the night, in light so dim.
Stars lit the night, as meteors wash the world ablaze,
Violet haze fills the void and tears drop from his face.
He caught a glimpse, in his dreams,
Of thinly woven strings,
Of thousand wings unfurling. ...

The Subjective Irony of Passing Now A Bit Later/ Since She is Gone
A sweet song of self-pity, drawn from the pages of Life. A bad, very bad poem
How many many hours
might it take for "now" to
happen?
Does
such time "take it's toll".
...it's "pound of flesh"?
I'm way too old to think this way, or,
for-a-fact, any which way.
I'm way too old to dream in such
a manner as to hold back the time.
"Life" went south, trying to adapt to climate change
...

If You Hate Me Just Know That I Do Too
I am a failure
I have emptied you
Every emotion
Poured out
Like cold coffee
I am an existential crisis
A heart in mourning
I am dying to feel like
I'm not dying
I am an angry wasp stinging
Everyone I land upon
I try not to but you,
you scare me
With those virgin eyes
I am a clusterfuck
A buzzing wall
Of white noise
I drown out
Your infectious affection
I am so, so, so sorry
My fate has found me.
I have emptied you
Every emotion
Poured out
Like cold coffee
I am an existential crisis
A heart in mourning
I am dying to feel like
I'm not dying
I am an angry wasp stinging
Everyone I land upon
I try not to but you,
you scare me
With those virgin eyes
I am a clusterfuck
A buzzing wall
Of white noise
I drown out
Your infectious affection
I am so, so, so sorry
My fate has found me.

On the rocks
I'm a little fish out of water here
I was hooked in the shallows
And dragged to the deep
But the deeper I delved
The sharper the rocks
I never claimed to
Know the tide
But I know
I floundered
I was hooked in the shallows
And dragged to the deep
But the deeper I delved
The sharper the rocks
I never claimed to
Know the tide
But I know
I floundered
