Always chasing the wind

Air dry, subdued quiet room
Poetic drift embrace gloom
Paper waits, ideas bend
Wrinkled clouds ascended
Just a small bla...

At first glance I thought, "Is this for real or just a tease?"

...My girlfriend goes off the deep end
Each night before bed until dawn
Yakety Yak as I lie on my back
Just trying to stifle a yawn
She complains and tries to explain
And still I don't kn...

And I'm watching from the front row
Trying not to scream

and trying not to hydraulic press my grinding teeth
into my plato gums ...

Falling Off the Deep End
...I told myself that you were off limits
I promised that I would not fall
But I lost that battle early on
With each joke and laugh we share, the less I want to hang on.
The edge is drawing ...

Constant Nightmare
...It's a horrible horrible scene.
Endless nightmare, in no way a dream.
At the top of my lungs I will scream.
It consumed all my self esteem.

Stealing useless sh*t like a kleptomaniacal king
Laughing and tip toeing to the closet

Freaking out my third eye blinking stunting you...

Tomorrow I Will Never See
...Tomorrow I will be spontaneous,
I will dive off the deep end,
Jump in a mud puddle,
catch fireflies and let them go.
Tomorrow I will start anew,
I will move to a bigger place,
I will clean ou...

A Fools Crush
...I'm reaching for the unattainable,
Longed for it for so long,
It's all I can think, smell, taste or dream of,
