I look to the side

Because you acknowledging my existence

Makes me anxious inside

I can pretend I’m not real

I’ll be a ghost instead

Dirty and old…”

“Eye do.”

Like bats in hidden caves, with eyes moon-bright.

Like flowers that bloom only at night.

Like little lost children we hope will come home.

Like people all alone.

Like the wind that blows.

Like ships hidden under waves that drowned.

Like the dreams we have when we sleep.

Like tears we weep.

Like secrets we keep....

The eye is all seeing

it wishes for it to stop

but the eyelids are unable to drop

so many cruel things to be shown

but even after seeing it all, it’s so alone

the cruel reality of us all

The simple words

I want to say;

Sweet glowing tangerine sky,

Grass grows greener on the other side,

And if you plan to die, do it right,

And if you plan to cry, do it at night,

In salted mango air,

From their graves, they all stare,

Their gloves you wear,

Sweet red daises,

Sweet blood red,

Sleigh down a hill of death,

Exist, die, nonetheless,

Eyes that have see...
