Are We Ghosts
when i reach out
I touch aether
when i hold you
im clutching a cloud
when we talk
hours float by
and when youre gone
i still feel you by my side
but sometimes
when you leave
a part of me
my incorporeal hands
clutch grains of sand
but they always phase through
like nothing i do
ever impacts you

Phantom Pain
at night, when the blue moon calls out to all wild things,
its azure a calming wave in the bottomless screaming night
I walk in time and with each furthering step,
sweeping strides
which pay more mind to any journey than its subsequent destination,
I wonder what translucent fish hook has ensnared me, finding myself dragged from bed each

Make My Lonley Desert Bloom Again
A rewrite.
It's been a long cold dark lonely winter
Since you went away
I live in limbo
And torture myself every single day
The sun used to shine my way
But now turns the other way
A shadow of my former self
Maniculed and chained to your heart
Left on a dust covered shelf
I sit on the top of the stairs in my

lonley child
I say, mama, I'm so sorry
I got ice burn where my heart at
On the road where I had it hard at
How I'm chosen? I'm so heartless, so, so heartless
I ain't know my age, he was 16, they killed Lil Dave
Mind in a rage, I'm way too young to feel this pain
I ain't know how to

Stars Shine Alone
how noble is the night sky, how sacred are the stars,
who shine amiss a blackened wisp, mysterious you are,
I hung some up inside my room to try to capture light,
But all they gave were weary days reminding me of plight,
So here I rest inside my bed just looking at some stars,
reminding me of how

Spoiled Milk

I could never how are they so blind

Yet they continue not a care in the world
They don’t notice.

Lonley
It's the late nights all alone for me,
My thoughts get the best of me,
Suicidal thoughts force me to picture Mom and Dad, and the beast inside of me is like, "Hailey, can't tame me!"
Broken ribs from people thats kicked me when i fell,
I feel disgusting, my stomach turns
Why do people obsess over me? This isn't

Lost Voyage
To give life, and have that life dejected away, within seconds….. Pleading for a precedent, Incapable of escalating.
Designed second, within spent habits, disqualified from my child. Bitter sentiments of mediocrity and anguish. Powerless to retreat, decisively surrendering. Trusting to lull my droll agony, melancholy. Imploring for my termination.

Sun and the Lonley Star
She was the sun who shined so bright.
He was the moon who light the night.
I was a lonely star in this big universe
Who grew to be too nervous
I was hidden by you Because that's all you do
Hide me
So she could see
You and only you.
I was a little light
All you

A Rose That Won'T Grow
As A Rose That Never Grows.
.
A single drop in a vast deep ocean
The furthest star in the night sky
As lonely as a rejected leper
So am I
.
As a flower that never blooms
Undernourished without love not care
Living in limbo
With no one to share
.
For I no less than an orphan
Umbilical chord severed from the world
My world

Rose In the Snow
A Rose in The Snow.
.
Deep within a forest blanketed by snow
A place yet unknown
And no one ventures or goes
Grows and clings on to life
The once most beautiful fragrant delicate rose
So sweet its heart
But fragile its petals and folds
Stretches to the sun
Stung by a bee
Overshadowed by towering thickets of trees
.
Without love or tender care
The

Fading Dreams
The day is dying
The half-moon is faltering
In its nocturnal crawl
Across the gloomy sky
As the sleepy village goes to bed
Under the inky dark African sky
Stragglers are home-bound with trepidation
From another day of disillusionment
Lonely drunks lost in alcoholic world
Stagger home on the sandy paths
Boastful about feats known only to them
As the alcohol ebbed

Lonley Son
5
Hey there
My lonely son
Can you come
Off your run
And stay, be
Free to fall
No more today
And stay here
Stay without
Your love
Of a drug
In my arms
Where narcane
Begs your return

Lonley
Beauty beckons to the sea
Please set my Lover free
Once he sailed to her land
And gave Beauty his tender hand
But that wasn't meant to be
For he was lured back to sea
Far away to a distant shore
Love is gone forever more
His spirit has called her endless days
From far below the raging waves
Now she has come to

Breaking Free
There is a girl who sits in the corner.
Her heart is crying out.
There are people all around her,
But no one seems to hear her shout.
Her life was once happy,
Full of love and care.
She was always laughing.
There was always someone there,
But now her life seems empty.
What's missing, she doesn't know.
She wears a mask every day.
Her true
