Lobotomy’s Don’t Work On Me

on a hill lied a girl
separated from the world
as she wrote, her words would choke,
stuck somewhere inside her throat,
through gritted teeth her lyrics beat,
ate away at her sleep
so up she looked at the sky
to wonder why the stars still shine
do they not know her every crime,
if only she could close her eyes,
to her the world must be so blind,
she shoved a needle in her eye,
trying to change her given name
forgetting still it sounds the same
stuck inside this rotting brain
she prays one day this pain will fade

It’s over isn’t it

they dont know im the midas of rust
everything i touch turns to dust
but i have something midas lacks,
eyes to see through window cracks,
ears to hear the floorboards creek,
legs to move me from my keep,
and head enough to know im beat,
when everything before me screams,
please do not come near me,
im a walking example,
a fairytale you tell,
im the moral of your story,
and I’m go to hell,
or maybe im already there,
forced to live each day in prayer,
a sinner in the hands of an angry god,
what hell could you construct for me,
worse than what ive made for free,
if death were not so frowned upon,
i know for so that id be gone,
and if the gods of greek seek
to punish me, i wish to see
the end of every tragedy,
and feel with all finality,
the end of my reality

goodbye for now

it doesnt matter whether you sit there 
counting grains of sand 
or stave off the cold thief named sleep
for as long as you can
the things we start and the things we end
the people we meet dancing in the streets
we take them home and on our sheets
our closest friends we got to see 
even though its been an eternity
and new ones made along the way
i hope to see them again someday
so goodbye for now its been a dream
its time for me to wake it seems
but hopefully soon again ill sleep
and hopefully once again we’ll meet

Do Trees Bleed?

although i know each time ive gone
around this block things stay the same,
and despite my deposition that ive done my lot, things never change,
frankly ive been caught in thought, 
lost myself back half a block,
and wondered how you ever sought
to capture me, 

make me believe, that loving you was worth the pain,

i took a momentary stop,
and felt the breeze attack my face,
noticed how the leaves were caught,
dangling for their lives it seemed,
the trees had no apologies,
so soon the leaves will plead their case,

i wondered if the trees would bleed,
like people do when shedding limbs
or equally internally
for those that they hold dear to them,
but thats when they remind of when
I lied and said never again,

Cards

im playing cards with pandora
and she’s bleeding her hand
its so painfully obvious
i see her grand plan,
because calamities hit a set
and she’s feeling alright
but theres one card left
im holding hope tonight
and its hope which 
keeps me in this game,
im bankroll backed 
no matter the pain
that might come 
from losing it all
im in too deep
not prepared to fall
the scripture clearly indicates
what one should do in this place
step 1
admit you’re powerless
you cant fight demons which dont exist
step 2
find someone who
can save you and set your free
step 3
give up again,
find your god and pray to them
step 4
im getting tired of this
pray for strength to resist
temptations which prick and poke
nerve endings, sending signals
to the brain, wanting more
needing pain,
write it down, find where it hurts
tell us all how you’re the worst
step 5
step 6
step up
who gives a 
you wont resist
until your hope ceases to exist

I'll Sign the Silence

you take the sunshine, ill take the shade
and we'll grow apart,
I'll keep the rain and snow,
the moonbeam's gaze,
the trees that shiver when they sway,
and you'll get all the sunny days,
the friendly waves, the "are you ok?" 's
and per the terms of my departure
i promise not to make a martyr
of the bumps and bruises I've sustained 
so I could try to brave your pain
despite the years only adding tears
ill sign the silence -disappear

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

I wish I could say to just stay away

stacking stones on top of bones
until i hear them crack
i never thought success would weigh
so heavy on my back
now these words i wished retract
still move towards the attack
I never thought each passing day
I’d waste away at that,

nights spent scheming 
and days spent dreaming
with these words ill be repeating
i must pull up the slack
its a fact, im stacking racks
tracking pacts, ive filled my sack,
but this doorway is intact,

i cant get out or rather shout,
“brace for some impact to clout,”
im devote,
defeated, decidedly im beaten
but theres one thing i wont say,
one flag i’ll never raise,
rather fly half-staff today,
then be taken up in chains,

i think this is my siren song,
my solemn silique,
i wish i had a better way
to warn not to be me

Periapsis II

it's like you're the earth, and I'm the moon,
I can't keep myself from revolving around you,
your orbital pull I can't quite resist
so I'll bide my time till periapsis
but on this periodic orbital trip,
my time with you I'll surely miss,
although I know that you wont stay,
our distance grows each passing day
our push and pull guide manifolds
in complex planes our boundaries wane 
trajectories chaotically change
but still momentum stays the same,
perhaps this apoapsis wont
leave me choked in the throat,
i just hope your delta V,
wont tenderly escape from me,
because this two body problem,
isn't as simple as it would seem,
when we’re circling stars
in this big, wide, galaxy

There’s no More Sunshine and no More Rain

i could strangle the sea with my yearning,
burning unfulfilled desires buried behind the shed
i take out the trash and pass it by on my way inside
putrid smell rancid reminder reprimanding me
i havent done my laundry yet but theres still time
just be careful with the colors
a game of keep away we play
until the next day and the next day
until we run out of days
theres no more sunshine and no more rain
and no more time to stay the same
when nothing comes to take your place
what good is it to stand and waste
the wick which wears your skin so thin
