    the good

    it’s sad to say
    i’ve seen good bye
    the good die
    the good lie
    all for nothing
    but in their minds
    sadly, it’s something

    colorado river

    whisper, my mister
    slip on your slippers
    you’ll get a blister

    you didn’t have a sister
    but i miss her

    we could’ve played twister in the winter
    walked new york, held as we shivered

    the color was red
    but turned black as it withered

    i’m ready, i slither
    i’m not bitter
    i consider the river, how it moves forever

    gaze in the mirror, i see a killer, a sinner
    occasionally a glimmer – it’s usually after liquor
    it flickers
    but i remember
    not to pull the trigger

    the worth of it all

    i revel in madness
    occasionally the devil
    wrestle with heaven
    fight the deep depression
    but with suppression, i walk the nile
    smile as i see the light
    was my life worthwhile
    or did i die hoping someone would dial?

    i might be insane

    you broke my heart
    so i killed you a hundred times

    in my mind
    we played a game
    how bad could you actually hurt me

    slightly insane
    but never mundane
    i had visions
    you went perfectly with them

    sorry you couldn’t live
    or give
    all that i did

    life is a chance

    broke your heart
    standing near the bar
    wondering how you are
    where you are

    i fought my demons
    they had reasons
    it was hard to beat them

    all i could do was swim
    so much distress
    but never any regret

    i was upset
    didn’t care what anyone said
    gonna end up dead
    never had my cake
    all i had was bread

    i’m not going to pretend
    you weren’t a ten
    or wish it wasn’t
    i understand
    not everything’s grand
    nothing’s planned

    occasionally the wind becomes mad
    it gets sad
    it takes you a different direction
    and you learn
    life is sometimes a chance

    truth behind teeth

    love you like ice
    bite me, take a slice
    god, i feel your fire
    it’s so divine

    pour another glass
    i like it red, lips and all
    when they fall, play the eight
    hold my weight, tell me it’s fate

    hold my hand
    take me to another day
    another date, the 80’s
    an ocean where we make motion

    a place where our emotions
    will no longer be broken
    a place where our evolution
    will be crucial to the words we’ve spoken

    when the thought of regret is atrocious
    and our atoms are chosen
    and we’re no longer looking for something
    to be handwoven

    i ignite

    push me down
    the lighter that burns your fire
    once i was desired
    immensely admired
    grew exhausted and tired
    by a child in a field of their own
    always postpone
    always driving
    always flying
    an ugly road
    but no time

    i still think of you
    everytime i sip my wine
    i try, i believe someday it’ll be fine
    someday i’ll ride
    someday i’ll be alright
    i’ll come alive
    not tonight
    but in time
    i’ll be fine

    longing for the past

    thought of a poem
    words came through
    it was all for you, my baby blue

    i’m on the outside, shining in
    telling you all the things that could have been

    did you know
    when things become used
    you long for what could have been

    therefore in the distance
    when you’re shining back
    don’t hold for what might have been

    ‘cause in the end
    you’ll look back, take a final glance
    and remember, we sure did have fun
    while we were given the chance

    receptionist

    our words cross
    we talk
    every night
    a few years

    i know your ears
    yet nothing about your fears
    how you move, your gears

    i know your hair
    how you’re a texan
    your eyes
    they’re rather precious
    your lips
    you seem to have a freshness

    one time i put up a missed connection
    no response
    but that was expected
    you think i’d learn my lesson
    since i’m not an adolescent
    say hello
    can i take you to dinner
    but i think
    subconciously
    i’m not ready to enter
    to take an adventure
    especially this winter
    considering what happened
    back in september

    before the war

    laughs rather kind
    videos replay in my mind
    lying in bed
    your day at the morgue
    the cold
    but our emotions left warm
    there was no door
    nothing was torn
    the breeze before the war
    couldn’t have asked for more
    your laughs, my smile
    the gore
    this, the time, i couldn’t afford
    floating high off the floor
    before the storm
    after the morph
    now i mourn
    wishing it was like before
