For the father I lost when I was too young...

Why do I write everything?
Always writing, always, always, incessantly,
Details about my small little life---
A life that is nearly always unexciting---
Filling pages, wasting paper and memory space.
Why do I write everything?
For a while, I thought that...

So now what?
What do I do now?
I feel… empty.
Like… like something disgusting crawled inside me
And ate all my insides.
…Ate my soul.
Ugh, I feel horrible!
I know, I know… people are tired of me.
Tired of how I...

Last night I lay in the darkness of my room 
like i always do 
Me, a dim lamplight and thoughts of you 
my only companions 

Everything was still 
Till I could listen to first pit...

It's really kinda early to tell

With nothing else to do I stumbled across you by mistake. 
With most of the work almost done.
My ears took a stroll.
Four hours left before I clock out.
My Pandora...

It's your life, 
Guess you needed a change.
  You put one in my heart,
At close range.

  The dreams we shared,
They never came true.
  I guess you were bullting,
When you said, " I...

How my soul is so empty 
Their is no one home inside of there 
All as you can see I do is stare

Wishing I was home,
In my easy chair all alone,
No one near to bother me,
No worry or stress, my mind is free.

Laying on my bed
Staring at my ceiling
And thinking of you,
I am wondering.
Where are you?
Are you safe?
What are you wondering?
Are you thinking about me, too?
Curled up in my cozy little chair
Staring off into space
And thinking of...

do you have a secret life
staring off into space
a new, hidden vague look on your face

closed

and done with all of this
