the leaves were crisp,
you wore your newsboy cap,
and I wore those leggings that we ripped that night by the lake
the benches were full,
but we didn't care,
we found our place amongst the blades of grass and the critters between them
you spoke with your smile,
and mine answered
eyes melted into eyes
lips matched lips
hands found one another
while we shared that crucial point in time,
I noticed an old couple sitting by the fountain;
he was holding her,
and she was smiling like she held the secret to the meaning of life
you glanced their way,
and your arms found their way around my waist,
and then I realiz

Your Hollywood makeover self indulgent lectures
cause watery rims,
running mascara,
and thudding temples
You asked me if I understood
and I nodded twice,
once yes,
and once no
You looked past my contradictions,
never explaining the lastest catch phrase
Your words aren't the bait,
they're the trigger
and your audiences are blind folded
in blood red chairs
You hide your sins so well,
I almost thought you an angel
But I peeked
Does it kill you to know I never enjoyed your overdone acting?
I never believed you,
but you believed me
All the tricks you've pulled,
like yarn weaving around you
in a small room,
has trapped you

with one eye slanted,
the other straight as
the hair that hangs down to
my broken shoulder blades
as I sway to the music in my head
I'll tell you the truth,
I had a dream once,
I had a future coming on,
I had beliefs once
But then I grew up.
I'm a follower leading blind sheep,
with one hand on the bible,
the other turned up,
one lone finger in the sky
that hangs over us all,
but it divides as we fall,
and we're signing peace treaties
as we head for more bombs
I'll tell you the truth,
I had a dream once,
I had a future that was bright,
I did believe once
But then I met the walls around me

but I can still hear the confession on my ears,
a kiss you never gave me
is taunting my chapped skin
We've never begun,
but somehow got stuck in the middle,
is there an ending or are we just floating?
You hit pause for me,
cause I'm frozen on the fact that
you're the only one that's playing

I must believe that you never did
I've got to make this easier
that ignore button looks rather attractive tonight,
and my hands are itching to punch the escape key;
to break this habit,
like my last cigarette,
I'll tuck you behind my ear
for safe keeping and promise not to use you
Too bad I can't say the same for your philosophy
You'll be in the books one day,
and I'll be the only one not reading your words
I would label you a mess,
but I misplaced my feather pen
which wrote with the tenderness of your apologies
and pricked with the sting of their fakeness
I'll be sure to thank you for this one day,
whenever I find my way up

sweating steadily to an undecided tune.
If he steadied his hands to wave goodbye,
I think I'd stomach down my broken words
long enough to breathe this in.
This air is turning solid,
I'm sucking down balloons into titanium lungs,
they are weighing me down, this dropping
feeling is sinking me.
I'm still looking for a velvet skinned being
with fire for hands, gloriously failing to create a spark.
My bonfire heart got rained out and I never reached the final inning.
This is where I call is quits, you're the one I want,
and if I can't have you, I'll lie to my heart.
"You got him, never let go."

I'm a ghost here.
I'm being drained of colors that
don't belong to me,
and memories I've never been lucky
enough to have for myself.
I'm feeling a sense of dumbfoundness
as you walk by me,
through me,
into me.
I'm not here with you,
but you're here with me.
Everything is over and I never began.
I'm a plague here.
I'm being passed around as the nothing
that you see me as,
and the everything you don't want.
I'm sensing a feeling of distance between
us two paranormal floating souls
as you ignore,
push,
and avoid me.
I'm not here with you,
but you're here with me.
You left me here because I refused to come on com

when your legs forget how to stand,
when each rise and fall of your chest sends
a shockwave to every nerve, hitting like
a tsunami upon every grain of sand
That moment when you drop;
when your arms forget how to reach,
when you become lifeless,
your limbs hanging uselessly at odd angles
That moment when you die;
when your soul two steps out of your body,
twirling and dancing on the winds,
when your breath seems meaningless,
because oxygen can't save you when you're already gone

Miscalculated chemistry,

I thought I got the potion right,
but it exploded on me
3 words on chalk boards
in babbling dead languages
I'd translate it for you,
If only I could find my voice
My tired tongue is tapping at an uknown beat
My lips burns because you kissed her
and my frost bitten heart can't hate you
But curse your mouth for it's terrible sin
I'll throw you away to send you flying back in
Print 'broken' on my wrinkled forehead,
in dainty cursive writing to remind me of
the note you never sent to explain an absent call
Pulled up by the shoulder blades,
pushed against the wall,

I reach for skies I don't believe in
and a love I know is fake.
I kiss lips I don't trust
and whisper words I don't understand.
I love you,
but we both know I'm a liar,
and I doubt I'll ever mean what I say,
at least not what I say to you.
You twist my tongue,
along with my arms,
behind my back,
and the tip of your lungs.
You sicken me,
you're sickening,
but I've never been a normalcy.
I grab for hands that aren't there
and hips with ghost-like tendancies.
I hold onto everything I want to let go,
and drop what I care for most.
I hate you,
but you know I'm in denial,
and I won't admit it,
at least not out loud.

We say a house is haunted,
but we mean the house has gone insane
With leaky faucets that drip nervousness
and shattered mirrors that catch your fear
and your sudden screams
The dying lillies and peeling wallpaper slowly
breaking off into nothingness
If those with insane minds die inside walls of
brick, does the insanity linger behind them?
Does it seep into the crevices?
Does it move, crawling, stalking through the dead vessel?
We say there's no place like home,
but we mean that home is not a place,
but a living flicker,
barely seen and barely known,
like a snow flake in the draft,
there, but gone too soon to see

I fall in love with every flaw
Those things that would normally annoy me,
change into adorable ticks you have
Like the nervous skips in your voice
And the way you sniffle when you get upset
The way your laugh seems to jump straight out of your heart
There's a soft squeal in your words when you're happy,
or whenever you speak my name
I hear you choking on words you don't trust yourself to say
I know when you're depressed,
because you breathe differently
You chuckle because it's all you can manage
I know you,
I know
But did you know that you're beautiful?
I do.

in a mirror not my own
I'm arching eyebrows and pointing fingers
It's all a charade of semi-professionals
who never made it to the red carpet
I'm a winner at losing cause I can't paint
on a smile for the police station camera
Orange is the new freedom
and I'm the U S of A
The worried lines of bitter laughter seem
to only laugh at me
Cause i'm never fully in one place,
never by myself
The rolling film lives to watch me break a leg
Eg it on,
cause i'm working overtime to get 5 stars

but you're sick in the head.
This is why I've given up on you.
