Horse You Came In On

Guys like me only come around everynight

In dim light bars with terrible intentions 

Surrounded by friends we secertly hate

Saying words we do not mean 

Saying words we do not comprehend

Won't you come home with me and sweep me off my feet

Right onto my unmade bed

Surrounded by nothing but our newly discovered bodies and the shame that follows the next morning

A Day

I march down the street

With my head held high

Today has been the first day in years

I don't want to die

 

It has been so long

But I can finally see the sun

I have come so far

I no longer need to run

 

I never decided to leave

I dropped to my knees

Looked up at the Sky

The universe and the trees

I started to believe.

Sweatshirt Weather

My turbulent sweetheart pushed and pulled me through the night

She made sure to bring every gun she had to a knife fight

I'm not sure if I'm going to be alright

My heart is bleeding...

I mean beating, so fucking fast....

Please god,

I am not sure which day it is but please make it my last.

have been

The past is the hardest pill to swallow. It chokes you as you try to flush it down with cheap beer and bad house guests. It's the hands ringing your neck, whispering let go, while another loveless lover lays in your bed.  It is what longs for passion while you settle for cheap, void filling gratifaction. It's the wind to your back, calling your heart, though you choose to ignore. It is the sun and...

Faded Half Shell

I see through your lies

I look into your eyes

And as you cry

I realize

you were wearing 

a disguise

the whole time.

Ruby Dog

My Dog has a brindle coat

and a heart of gold.

Most

women date me

to get to her. 

Not my damaged soul.

How do I know?

Because before they leave they tell me so.

Aliceanna

It's the right kind of night

To blow off your past

To blow off your present 

to find the presence of another

Desperately waiting for love

Wishing it's the kiss that jolts your brain

Gives your Goosebumps

And fucks you harder

than you could ever fuck one another

Matching Hands and Hearts

Flip the script

 

If this life comes even close to decaying

 

Weighing on my purple heart

 

A song

 

Sung

 

Of

 

Familiar

 

Tone

 

But not this part

 

Soon

 

Chaos may ensue

 

Leaving enough distraction

 

For me to slip out back

 

And just enough time

 

For me to find you.

 

While the sky is falling

spiritualized

I need a place to stand

The weight of the world has shattered me

Leaving me in a million pieces

As I float upwards towards the sun 

I finally find a piece of mind

A lost soul of mine, I was search of for the whole time
