The birds crow a weeping melody, trees clean of leaves The warm lights of autumn, disappear with a winters breeze

New seasons bring wonder, happiness and memories But my last winter was with you, and this year you’re dead to me

In the past you had promised, that you would never leave But tis the season I suppose, cuz you did it with ease

Brandish all the mistletoe, I won’t let you see me grieve It’s only a heartbreak, but this will be my last winter I believe.

It won’t be A hard farewell No tears will These eyes spill

Ill wave my hand Spin and then Without a second thought I’ll go.

These memories Will leave me soon You’ve poisoned the value They possessed

So ta-ta my dear My conscious is clear I hope for your Eternal unrest

He shut the wide door open He chilled his lunch in the oven Oh I’m feeling a wee bit up I think I might throw down

I’m as silly as a snake And happy as a ham No clue what this all means I just am.

Sweet little autumn city Sidewalk littered with leaves I’ve never seen such marvelous things I just might never leave

Sweet little autumn city Churches and steeples and stores I hear the bells a ringing I think I’ll stay here some more

Sweet little autumn city A place I might never have known Down by the creek there are secrets Far more than just rocks have been thrown

Sweet little autumn city With people who stay in their homes Peeking through windows curiously This city just won’t let me go

Sweet little autumn city Whose streets are forever alone I’ve found where your bodies are buried Please, I am not yours to own

Let me go, sweet daydream Let me back on that train ride home Set me free, I’ll be careful To not travel back down this road

Farewell. I promise I will not return Sweet little autumn city I hope you burn

I promise to be with you in life and in death. They scream so loud, they can’t take a breath.

Why is love so inconsistent? What are you teaching these children?

My brother holds his head to the sky I cover my sisters ears, or at least I try.

He nags and picks and she ticks like a bomb We shouldn’t have to see this from our dad and our mom

And oh the hate, though no hands were raised But I’d rather be stung by a sword than anymore verbal blades

I cry but in solitude I am safe I tell myself, “Kid, wipe those tears from your face.”

“There will be other places that you can call homes.” “So just hug yourself tight, and put on your headphones.”

…

I promise to be with you in life and in death I’ll neither shout nor scream with any a breath

I’ll make a consistent love. Or I’ll put on my headphones forever

Always the bridesmaid never the bride Take a look inside Maybe you’ll see why

I’m sure there are no cracks No places where I lack No truths that I deny

If I smile a little wider Or if my weight is a little lighter Surely, if I try

How dare they not even see me! I wear no cloak of invisibility Those jerks deserve to die!

Or maybe I must, I lack all but lust I trip, I sink, I cry

I remember not my very own name My identity burning, I threw it in the flame Who the hell am I?

Could I be more than a partner? Perhaps if I journey farther My body heaves a sigh

Always the bridesmaid never the bride For those walking down the aisle, no smile will I hide I smile, leap, and finally fly

He called me goofy He was Hercules

He was my first My first love is what i mean

We were both trying hard To be like our friends As in love as young lovers could be And maybe like theirs, it would never end

But i didnt like it He loved me too much And i told him to stop I didnt want his touch

I wasnt ready for love I realized in the end

Life without you is fine. Lets. Just. Be. Friends.

I was born with a few odd quirks That have made life all the more interesting

I was born with a brain All the doctors have proof Yet to my disdain My mind is aloof

For not I do think My visions are flawed My mind’s filled with ink But nothing is drawed

I must have a heart I’ve got doubts, I’ve got fears But from my life’s start My eyes have shed no tears

I feel it in my chest A steady beat and thrum And I place my hand over SOMETHING During the National Anthem

But oh the worst oddity of all Is a souless abyss that is this

Numb numb I beat and I thrum But the ink is spilled The soul is gone So I’m leaving now

Farwell hopeful one.

GARRULOUS- talking a lot, especially about something unimportant

Endless nights, Fruitless pleasure. With what ruler Are our lives measured?

In the heart of the city, Under the neon lights, Our paths crossed Igniting endless nights.

But was this the end, The limit of my potential A mindless heartless lust A life exempt from morals

Was the world not red? Or had I made it so? Surely, no surely I would know

From my penthouse view Overlooking the streets I saw those like me Pretty girls, with nothing to eat

Don’t make that choice Was my silent command I was doubting and hurting I didn’t understand

I looked at the world With the red lenses I had darned There was no soul who could fill this whole So I slowly fell apart….

Too many of us fall prey Turn away.

Open skies beckon in something broader A universe beyond our atmosphere

Clear fields call out to something stronger The land that we’ve betrayed with those buildings yonder

Oh what cries can be heard for the lust of adventure What sounds echo loudly for the desire to wander I am lost for a reason I’ll be found when it’s time For now I’m immersed in a world so divine

Don’t wake me up.
