My Hallways [11.6.08]

In my hallways
there are always
points ..
of which ways I'll go
and those you follow
Cause you see
my class is here
but yours is there
and you follow me
here
and I walk with you
there
and the classes
we were meant to be in
remain ..
to be
the same ..
In my hallways
there are always
whispers and glares
and talk of going
all .. the .. way ..
but to what?
Satisfaction that's only
temporary
a story of a guy
who lets her carry
the weight of
anxiety, depression, and
denied love to an
unborn child
who grows up to be
twenty fcukin years old
with thought so meek & mild
In my hallways
there are always
papers and books
textbooks and pencils
fliers on the wall
that all say
things I have to do
places I need to go
.. only points that are not
of my belonging .
Cause' I remain Here
and you stay everywhere .
But no matter what
I run these
hallways
and my thoughts are
always
of me going all .. the .. way ..
.. to the end .

Stars After Midnight [10.26.08]

Stepping out of
my room
wearily walking
to the kitchen
I grab a carton
of milk
and a piece of pizza
because everything tastes better
after midnight
and I step outside
I sit on the steps
and I stare
at the sky
One star shines above
none
But only do I realize
It's a satellite
Where are my stars?

Skipping Stones [10.26.08]

A rock tossed
into a pond
manipulating
(( currents &
.. waves ))
A stone thrown
into the pond
creating
+ pulses &
.. beats +

Uhm .. not really .[11.05.08]

I thought I heard you calling
I was so confused
Cause' you weren't calling
me by my name
And you thought while I was
stalling
You were so confused
Cause' the game you thought
we were playing weren't
the same ..

Love, Poverty, & Lies [11.2.08]

I saw true love die today ..
I saw it burn to death
over the course of time ..
I watched it suffocate
& cry & plead for help
But I sat there
and just watched
the smoke now fills
my lungs
I'm intoxicated
with love
And I just sat there
and watched ..
Did I try to help.?.
No .
Dollar here ..
.. dollar there
Dollar everywhere ..
Burned .
As true love died
The scent of burnt money
rises in the air
the ashes fill my lungs
I'm intoxicated with the poverty
And I just sat there
and watched ..
I sat there
and watched .
Someone called my name
from the corner
I heard it from the corner ..
However the voice was coming
from the center of the ceiling
but I heard it from the corner
And I sat there
and let the voice fill my lungs
I'm intoxicated with the lies ..
And I just sat there
and watched .
I sat there
and watched .
My face
dark from the ash & smoke
My ears ringing from the sound
My body numb from sitting
so long ..
I hold my breath and count
the seconds until I forget
that I saw
true love die today
I saw ..
true love ..
die ..
today ..
