Acetate & Hexoflorcilicate

I am an old soul tonight.
Do not fear to come closer,
I won't take flight.

Everything that I want,
I have to work for so hard...
If I keep this up my body will be scarred.

I  am lonely,
Because I am the first one to pick up my phone and say,
"Hello."

Because you first called me your friend when I lived on the street,
I feel like I owe you.
You made my life a little more complete.

I miss you,
Because this time it was you who sent me away.

I hate you,
Because you don't feel the same way.

I have a music box.
It helps me get lost.
And sometimes I come back to reality and wonder where on Earth I've been..

I only wrote this poem,
Because you asked me too.

I will never get married,
I'll run away saying, "I don't." at the alter. 

Successful marriages don't exist.. 

You ask me why I wake up in the middle of the night,
Grabbing for a cellphone; and my life line.
My thoughts are consumed by that evil man;

That is why,
These terrible thoughts are no longer mine.

If you ask me questions,
Don't try it tonight,
All I can say is,
I'm an old soul tonight.

Dances with Wolves

I think it is time,
The mountains need to lift the sun.
Into the sky.

Why do the ashes fall from my face?

Sleeping in trashcans,
Behind the church doors.
I sing.

Why do you call it witchcraft for my eyes to look so bleak?

"Honey don't look at her."
Laying on the couch.
Still.
Still.

So still.

My feet bleed.
I can no longer see.
Listen to the nothingness.

I dance with the sleet.

Dead Sea

Happy birthday,
I'm sorry I'm so late.

I got run over by turtles on the interstate.

Last night,
I watched everyone die twice.

Nightmares are like being trapped in the devil's game of dice.

Why didn't you want to celebrate?

These scars on my side hurt.
Surgery, surgery, surgery,
You were wrong, it didn't taste like mint to me.

How long will it take you to find out I almost wound up dead?

I've seen to much death.
Death meet my niece.
I'm afraid my heart is now missing a piece..

When the make up comes off,
The lyrics lose their tone.
The two lovers end their honeymoon too soon.

Twins,
Splash in puddles,
As their mother tries to kill the silence.

You are the Holy terror.
And I am so young to have a body guard.
Why did you paint the white flowers pink?


Catch me,
I'm over in the lagoon.
This country was never free.

None of these darts hit the bull in the eye.
Maybe it's time to start writing my will,
This life doesn't seem to be giving me much thrill.

Corn Flakes

There is no sunlight in my room,
Just a wind current disturbing my roses,
Kicking up dusty memories into the air.

The pillow smells like cigarettes,
But the cigarettes aren't from me.
The fish in the tank fight.

My fingers shake as I try to open the pill bottle,
Just an unfortunate side effect from this medicine I take.
They don't want me to gobble them up like M&Ms.

 What does it mean when crooks take pity on me?

Katy Perry and the U-Version of the Bible fight for air time,
As I think of new ways to paint my nails,
And ponder if there is actually someone in the world who died alone.

I don't like the way she calls you, "Mike."
There's a beautiful fire in my heart.
Hey Diddle Diddle, you can't solve this riddle.

Mom's been hooked on bills,
Sister's looking for time to kill.
We all stay home, but no one is ever around.

Babies cry tears for you,
As the mothers whisper in the dark.
I can't find any batteries inside the kitchen drawer. 

Composite Sketches

Let us cuddle up,
And watch Disney movies.
Kiss me like I'm Cinderella,
A Cinderella that is always on the military move.

What's it like?
Going to a school where you can never see the sky?
Does the thought of being snowed in with each other,
Ever make you cry?

Love big,
Even though you aren't very tall.
He's you're protector,
But don't put up a wall.

Sit in silence.
But only with me.
Listen to the nothingness,
Because it means everything you see..

J'aime danser.
That means that
I love to...
Dance.

Dance into my heart,
But don't let me fall.
If he forgets the steps just remember,
A dancer always knows how to stall.

A record player plays,
As three girls lay down on the bed,
Two on the floor.
It was a time of innocence with Simon and Garfunkle..

A boy walks in,
But he makes no sound.
It's pretty obvious to see,
That no one knows what to do when he is around.

So long to me.
I am only missing you.
I trace the edges of my hips,
Trying to remember where I once had that tattoo.

Let me take the fall,
The footsteps grow nearer as I curl into a ball.
Everything is how it is supposed to be.
I lay back and think of Destiny.

An engine cuts,
As a rock hits the second floor windowpane.
Lately things seem calmer,
I've lost the hateful distant way.

My memories:

That's
            all.
                        That's
                                  left,
                                          Of
                                               You.
