Originally done June 18th 2002 X-ray The eyes: Windows to the soul. The half lies Making up the whole. The windows shaded. You read me anyway. The lights faded. Nothing I can say. My eyes: Hidden and yet not. Your lies, Hidden in the plot. I close my eyes. You can't see the real me. In shaded eyes You can't see hopefully. Look through This image of me. What do You really see? You x-ray me, Looking into my soul. You can see The gaping hole. Can't hide How I feel. My pride You just steal. Please just turn away. You know me too well. Every single day You lock me in my cell. Just stop Looking at my doubt. Can't cop My way out. You x-ray me With that one look. Reading me Just like a book. Originally done June 24th 2002 Untitiled Rising sun. Falling star. Dim twilight. View from afar. Look from Heaven.
View from space.
Look of glory-
The look of your face.
Desert flower
In my heart.
Showed you love
From the start.
No date
Tide (Can't Get Up)
I know. I watched you out grow me.
I watched you blossom into this flower I could never be.
Bloomed. You've bloomed.
Doomed. I'm doomed.
You keep on. I can't catch up.
You keep on; I get stuck.
And I'm tripping on my own two feet.
I'm slipping through the cracks in the street.
Bloomed. You've bloomed.
Doomed. I'm doomed.
I got caught in this tide.
Inside I've died.
Can you see me from where you are?
Have you gone too far?
Bloomed. You've bloomed.
Doomed. I'm doomed.
Lost sight of the goal.
I'm stuck in a hole.
Can't reach top.
Can't dig through rock.
No way to catch you.
Nothing I can do.
Bloomed. You've bloomed.
Doomed. I'm doomed.
I have no exact date but the next three were written
sometime between late 1999 and early 2000. The
only one I have a date for is the aptly titled
5/11/00 which was written (you guessed it)
5/11/00.
The End of Forever
You said it would last forever.
We broke up today.
You said you'd leave me never.
Never must be here: That's all I can say.
Forever is never forever unless you're dead.
A love that lasts forever exists only in your head.
Something intangible can never be held on to.
Since love isn't tangible, the same saying is true.
So let's toast to leaving never
And other such lies.
Here's to the end of forever,
And never severing the ties.
Here I stand a broken man,
Since you walked out the door.
Shattered is my life's plan,
Since to you I've become a bore.
But don't let it bother you that I'm broken and torn;
That my dream lies in pieces on the ground;
That my patience is tattered and worn,
And there's no peace of mind to be found.
5/11/02
I feel old;
I'm only a teen.
The world's cold.
It's all been seen.
I feel I've been down this road before.
It's all going by too fast.
I feel I can't take anymore.
I can get a moment of happiness to last.
Where are all the people to lead me;
To show me the way?
Isn't someone supposed to need me?
Will I find love today?
No
No more reason.
No more rhyme.
No more treason.
No more time.
No more you.
No more me.
No more blue.
No more to see.
No more charity.
No more living.
No more pity.
No more giving.
No more this.
No more that.
No more kiss.
No more stats.
No more faded.
No more than you.
No more jaded.
No more won't do.
No more right.
No more wrong.
No more plight.
No more song.
Started 1/30/03 Finished 2/12/03 A Smile for You Today I have only the thought of you To help get me through: Such a bad day. Such a dark shade of gray. But today you said you thought of me And you smiled. You're the very thing that makes me happy. It put in me a good mood despite all my pain. You've helped keep me sane. Just by sending me a letter, You've made me feel much better. All my comfort comes from you, As does all the affection I ever knew. You are the true reason I have stayed. You are the reason my hope doesn't fade.
