CAN’T BREATH

[image error]

When you can’t breath to think

And you can’t think to act

And you can’t act to change

And you can’t change because

You can’t breath

FINDING HAPPY

[image error]

Sometimes the road parts

And there is nothing there for you

One takes you up the other down

And neither one leads to happy

Nothing but trouble and worry

So do you stay? Do you stand still?

Keep what you have and wait?

Or do you head off road… off map

Find that happy you once believed in

ONLY ONE

[image error]

He stood silent

Staring at hands

Full of broken dreams

The beating was soft

Barely just an echo

A life fading

And it was him

Who cried for it

The small heart

Made for only one

LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE

[image error]

The moment was magic

Erasing every little doubt

Like a lighthouse beaming

Peering deep into the dark

The ghosts stopped haunting

And the devils stood in awe

For there was no other alive

Not ever

To silence her darkness

With one little smile

REST DEEP

[image error]

I’m going under

And the pain is cold

And the rushing grabs hold

And won’t let me go

Hopeless moments bleed

Into the sinking ground

And I can’t move

I can’t reach out

And I’m swallowed

As the world sings

Stay beneath

You aren’t good enough

To walk among us

BACK TO HUMAN

[image error]

My spirit flies

Through golden veins

That speak with

Treasure tongues

Hands full of stones

Crush my heart

Into gravely dust

Until I find my way

Back to human again

WE ARE DESTRUCTION

[image error]

What was the purpose

When it all feels useless

What if she just called

Life’s perverse bluff

The universe lied

The greatest distraction

The boldest cruelty

The sunsets, the dawn

The rain showers

The ocean waves

The destruction of life

Held by them all

Quietly waiting

For us to understand

There’s nothing

But pain in the plan

AND YET LOVE

[image error]

Survival means

Breathing dust made of glass

Heartache like stickpins

Racing through veins

It means sucking up lava

And spitting out shards of ice

It’s walking on rusty nails

And bleeding out your disease

It’s burdening cancerous boils

Of sadness and despair

As love works it’s magic

Making all the hard stuff

Worth the surviving

PLEASE DON’T GO

[image error]

In that moment

I am alone

Sometimes the love stays

Wraps me up

Like a warm blanket does

Consoles my soul

Like your strong arms can

But sometimes

I can feel the ice form

Before you’ve taken a step

Before you can turn away

Before you say goodbye

And it freezes everything

I can barely hear you say

I love you as you leave

Wait… please turn back

I forgot to memorize your face

To feel the lines that form

To feel the texture

To kiss you one last time

To hold on tight

To your warmth

As winter tries to settle

In that moment

Where I stand alone

FLIP THE SCRIPT

[image error]

The flip was switched

Or the switch flipped

Either way

Or some way

The deed was done

The dirty deed

Was done cheap

But not cheaply

Because we are all

Professionals here

Pausing at green lights

Running through reds

Our attention switched

Spans too quick

Intelligence waning

We are all disguised

In filters and memes

As living people

Instead of people living

Flipping switches out

Flipping scripts in
