Desolation Road
Mood:  hug me
Swish my hand through a cloud,
And that’s how my heart feels,
A visible object, but empty,
I confuse what is real.

I’m stuck in a fog,
On a desolate road,
Reach for a friend,
I know what I’ve been told.

I can’t see my fingers,
But I reach out anyway,
I yell into the shadows,
Someone, steal me away.

I sit and pull my knees to my chin,
Nobody answers my lonely screams,
I close my eyes and think,
I’m sick of this world and it’s schemes.

What is a light,
When I don’t want to see,
What is a heart,
When it’s this empty.

My Replacement
Mood:  not sure
Out of place, I’ve been replaced,
Been tossed out, a piece of waste,
Just one more image, on your wall of distaste.
I know we’ll never be what we were once,
You cringe at my name, a pointless hate.
I shared a part of me with you,
More alike than many two,
Only just now coming to realize,
You’ve been wearing a disguise.
I had one too, this infamous disguise,
But you took mine and gave it to someone else.
Stolen identity, like a replaced doll on your shelf.
What was mine, belongs to another,
Now I know that it was the last time we’d be together,
As real, as true, as honest friends.
There’s no putting it back together again,
It’ll never be the way it was.

Renember, Hello Begins, But Good-Bye Never Ends Anything
Mood:  spacey

Don’t ask questions, I have no answers,
If you’re looking for a solution, you won’t find it here.
I am the problem, the cause and effect,
How do you solve, what you can’t detect.

Ask yourself now, what were you and I,
Nothing but two people, passing by and by,
A flutter of an image, comes into my mind,
A photograph, a memory, it’s you that I find.

It was easier before you ever said hello,
But after that first word, I never wanted good-bye,
It was great while it lasted, and I miss it so,
But there’s an end to every beginning,
A good-bye for every hello.

muah, im terrible at this.. is the title okay? im not sure it works.

Untitled
read it, and think of a title for it. it needs one.

From one day to the next, the world changes, evolves,
Another question asked, another problem solved,
The world is a shifty, uncertain place,
Filled with laughter, trials, happiness, disgrace,
People drift in and out, changing each other's lives,
One hello, another good-bye, so go the times,
Friends for a while, then it fades away,
Wake up to another day, to hear them say,
'Each day is a new and fresh beginning',
But it's really just a completion of yesterday's ending.

Much Like Playing Outfield
Mood:  sad
Left out again,
They're having fun, but I'm not in,
These are the people I call 'friend',
Yet I'm discluded again and again,
Lie in my room, at peace, alone,
Search for a place that feels like home,
Why I search, I don't know,
You're my home, where ever you go.

..Home Is Nowhere..
Mood:  spacey
Sh, there's silence after all,
The great silence before the fall,
A perfect wave about to crumble,
It's the current that's holding me under,
Some things lost aren't meant to be found,
Some of us are forever homeward bound,
Searching to find a home that isn't there,
Coming to realize our place is in nowhere.

Fulton
this one is an older one i wrote.. but its kind of one of my favorites so far.. so here it is.. it doesnt really have a title, but it describes Fulton in a way, so Fulton is in place of the title itself.

-
Driving down the avenue, houses all the same,
The people are no different, hiding all their pain,
Happiness as fake as the flamingo in the yard,
A pretended cheery greeting on every Christmas card,
And everyone knows it's a lie.

A handshake complete with a drawn on smile,
Another fib told to hide the truth for a while,
Pretending there is nothing but their feigned reality,
All fake people without real identity.
And everyone knows it's a lie,
But they keep on lying.

Falling Into Nothing
Mood:  cool
Lonliness conquers all else,
In a crowded room all by myself,
I want to run, I wish I could hide,
Scream my lungs out, arms open wide,
Break these chains that hold me down,
I feel so lost, nowhere to be found.
Inside a glass box on display,
I hate for you to see me this way.
There's no helping what I've become,
I'm lost to me, to everyone,
Falling, spirling in a downward path,
Reaching out for what I lack.
Hold out a hand, break my fall,
It's the least you can do, answer my call,
A friend in need, a friend ignored,
I am not who you knew before.
I see all of you around me,
Many faces in a whirling sea,
All masked, all disguised and hidden away,
I scream for help, but not today,
I see your eyes as you watch me fall,
You've been watching through it all.

Masked Friendship
Mood:  don't ask
I call you a friend,
You call me the same,
But in all truth,
We're playing different games.
I'm deserted, I'm alone,
You having fun, and never home,
Go have fun with your other friends,
Forget me and follow them.

It's alright, I'm okay,
Today is just another day,
Sunrise until sunset,
Tell me, is it over yet?
One day fades into the next,
And I remain the second best,
Never first, yet sometimes last,
Stuck in the hole where I was cast.

Shut your mouth, close my door,
Please, don't come back anymore,
I can't take what you dish out,
I want this over, I have no doubt,
You call this a friendship, I call it fake,
I hate this more every hour I'm awake,
The truth is buried amongst the lies,
I see now, take off your disguse.
You can't hide from me anymore,
Because I'm no longer hiding from myself.
