I would say
that I’m fading
but
that’s not true.
I am stiffening.
I am becoming
a statue…
not even in monument
to any former self,
or glory,
but to my current malaise;
this frozen-form
that mars me.
Nothing feels worth anything,
besides the obvious needs
and my immediate blood,
it’s just an open void
stretching out ahead
and being approached
at a snails pace.
lonely
slipped
Sun rises and passes overhead
at a deafening pace…
I see another day slip
through my hands
with my love and happiness…
go, bastard… go….
Maybe the next one is nicer….
I can’t see anything else
I can’t see anything else
I can’t see anything else
I can’t see anything else
I can’t see anything
I can’t see
I can’t
can’t, can’t….
Be kind
Some time ago
I loaned out my life
and I want it back now…
please.
I’ve got things to do,
and I need it.
I remember a past,
I recall thinking…
I know genius.
I’d like my life back.
Some day soon,
I’ll be great,
and I won’t need this life,
but right now I’m so lost…
I’d like my life back…
please?
Variegated
I can feel the summer wind
call to me again, again
and all I know is I can’t win
and living life’s become a sin…
and I know,
yet I know
that there’s truth
to the rumor
that this is good.
I can hear the winter cry
telling me, “don’t even try”,
it seems unfair if I ask, “why?”
Fall is here, it’s time to die.
Still, I know
it’s all I know
that there’s no truth
to the rumor
that I’m getting by.
Circular
The only pleasures in loneliness
are the thoughts of meeting a companion,
and the only thing worse than being limited
to thoughts of love
is having lost love, and being lonely.
Child
That a 19 year-old boy
has access
to the most important person
in my emotional life
cuts a very deep wound.
When will
I stop
killing myself
and breathe?
Chesty-Blonde-Godess in Art-History 110. (are you a myopic angel, or a near-sighted whore?)
You turn your head
and they’re staring,
intently.
They show interest,
look embarrassed at being seen,
so you look back,
smile… etc.
You do your part,
pay attention,
look their way,
try to bee cool…
and then they begin to ignore you.
This is a game
whose rules
make little sense
and to be victorious
seems to invite
loneliness.
Losing brings serious doubts,
confusion
and a general lack
of understanding.
I can’t decide,
now,
if I desire any attention at all,
or prefer being ignored outright
from the beginning!
