New Work

I've added some new stuff in anyone even comes to this site. Please tell the friends that might be intereseted. Some of the new posts are old stuff I hadn't added, and some have been written in the past month.

Cloud 9
Bleed it Out
A Summertime Winter
Drowning in Bad Thought
Impulse
Old Friends

Old Friends

Old friends come by my window
Tapping for permission in.
I refuse with haste although,
I’d love to commit the deadly sin.

The taste of a past addiction,
A metallic sensation of rush-
Leaves a young one in desolation,
With every second thought told to hush.

But he loves it relentlessly,
Never losing the desire.
It burns on endlessly,
An always hungry fire.

But he’s stronger,
Oh, he is.
Can he take it longer,
This addiction of his?

It scrapes at you ever so softly,
Convincing you it’s choice.
But ever so quietly,
It mutes his voice.

Impulse

Every cut starts with an impulse
And every impulse starts with a pressure
To be like everyone else
And why you cannot find the cure

Even the strongest walls break
Under the pressure of a thousand pressing hands
Muddy, wet, and cold, handprints they make
A thousand of them, each a grain of sand

Every wheezing child
Crying in a mother’s arm
Causes her complexion, so mild
Sends us into a state of panicked alarm

Tastes of tears, so bittersweet
Can’t overwhelm your impulse
All those faces you’ll never meet
Try to feel the dying pulse

All of these things swirling around
Not making much sense to the ear
Try to scream without a sound
Just trying to conceal the fear

The fear of the unknown
Unsaid, and undone
My regrets thrown
Out on the ground like a dirty night gown

To delicate to clean
To beautiful to destroy
Intentions not meant to be mean
You realize the knife could be a fun toy

The impulse suffocates
An arm now one more scar older
Your fear elevates
Emotions put out in a fire left to smolder

Drowning in Bad Thought

As I sit here in wonder
Marveling my self
I am simply
Drowning.
Self obsessing
Over a self
That hates what it’s
In.
Obsessing over a no self
Esteem freak
That thinks so
Bad.
Of himself
He hates himself
Obsessing over that
Thought.

Cloud 9

If you shook me
I wouldn’t feel it
If you whispered to me
I wouldn’t hear you

Cause I’m in the clouds
Dancing to a song
That only I
Can hear

An opiate of mine
A ridiculous obsession
And addiction so sweet
To be on my own

Jaded
Burned
Left out
But I don’t care

The ultimate
Seclusion
But seclusion
By choice

Bleed it Out

I found it
I need it
And I’m bleeding it now
Bleeding it now, I’m bleeding it now

And I feel it
I breath it
And with every breath it hurts just a little bit more
Just a little bit more

And every time I open my eyes I’m seeing it now
And before times up I gather my stuff
And bleed it now
Bleed it now

And I knew him once, and I knew her twice
And each time it wasn’t so nice
Cause they bled it now
They bled it out

Please help them
Cause I’m falling with them
I’m falling hard
And we just keep bleeding it all out on the ground

And my life is so numb
From all our bleeding
Where’s our meaning
We can’t keep singing
We just keep bleeding

And a heart’s out on the ground
We scream for help without a sound
Without a sound
Without a sound

Cause it’s just here
And we’re just there
He’s bleeding it now
She’s bleeding it out

Please help them
Cause I’m falling with them
I’m falling hard
And we just keep bleeding it all out on the ground

My life is so numb
His smile is gone
And every time she picked it up
It won

Will we bleed it out
For years to come
Let us out
Please someone

A Summertime Winter

I desire what I can’t
Holding back is all I’m allowed
Bringing back summertime memories
A book of faded mind photographs

It caught my eye
Even though it shouldn’t have
Their face, their laugh
But I can’t

So worry and frustration
Fill my mind
But I close my eyes
And take away the pain

But it’s only temporary
Because when I come back to reality
It just burns even more
Searing my mind and heart

But the next remembered summer
Is just around the bend
But the closer I get
The more dangerous it becomes

Just another chance
To make a friend
And lose another
Or lose them all at once

You hold your breath and wonder
If the upset is worth it
And you think of course
But something is stopping you

I’m taking the chance I’ve always wanted
Asking forbidden questions
All on the one night
In my summertime winter
