An old poem from high school...

If she could only sink
deeper and deeper
into the depths
into the mattress
hidden away forever
to someday be revealed
as the girl that once lived
and trusted the stars

If she could only fall
fall into the earth
to its elusive core
to the essence of its being
protected by the flaming lava
that around her ebbs and flows
the one it will consume

She no longer feels the burn
but becomes the burning mass
mass the stars are made of
until she is forever lost
lost within a star
lost within herself
away from the mattress
away from the earth
at peace in the skies
alone but content
eternally beaming
eternally burning
until she is out forever

#1
n another...

The space is large
like the distance between
you stretch it farther
I drown in the seams

The salt dries my face
the beats shake my body
trapped in this case
Suffocating slowly

Your wound is healed
a scab grown and gone
soon to be sealed
Like the ringing of the phone

This juvenile reaction
seems selfish and benile
a mask of distraction
As I try to break the viles

The chill grows every moment
haulting my steady brain
it's a rejection of love sent
To trust and make me sane

The space is large
like the distance between
i'll wrap it up for you
The gift of losing me



he who dies with the most toys wins

Want To Forget

What did we learn from all the heart breaks and mistakes we have shoveled through?
Without me and without you there is no one!
Nothing!
A cold desperate world where the people don't smile,
And happiness is a legend that only few know.
Let go,
So much easier to say than to do.
Feelings and emotion and compromise will never be forgotten.
Hold me by the throat and laugh at me again.
Snuff the hope that lingers in my eyes,
Stand firm on my spine and cripple me with your words.
Hopelessly we wait for someone to save us,
Eyes wide open,
We squeeze our hearts shut.
I breathe in the pollution,
Take one last stand at trying to depend on your oxygen.
Withdrawing from the lack of dose that you delivered me.
Closer and closer to the truth but further from finding any answers to the questions,
Questions i have never asked or never thought about.
Tear me away from the mirror,
Peal me off the wall where my grave seems to be placed.
Scratching and peeling off the paint,
Consuming the hurt and poison that lingers in the air.
You completed me,
Held my head when all I wanted to do was cry,
I fear now that every memory of you will never die.
I wait for the moment when I can't remember you,
Or remember your face.
