Blind

I saw a man on crutches

He didn’t see me

Make Me

I am bullets

I can kill

I have no soul

I have no will

I need someone

To take my hand

To pull my trigger

And make me land

Might

If I  could see the beauty in me

In all my imperfection

might not be so self-absorbed

If I could see the beauty in you

In all your imperfection

Enough

I have fear

I have felt its pain

It looks like anger

I know the difference

I don’t have enough hate to use it

I have been hurt

I swore I would die

I wanted to return the hurt

To inflict my suffering

I don’t have enough hate to use it

I have a gun

It has bullets

It works

I have fired it

I don’t have enough hate to use it

Sadness

turns to presence

Without excitement

Being without doing

And knowing without fixing

Long I Wonder

I wondered what the last days of my life would be,

I wondered what I would do,

All along I wondered.

Then you took me out to sea.

I was floating wondering how long the end of life would be.

Then my eyes while they were floating,

Came to see that you were me.

Unspoken

I start with a broken leg,

Travels through my spine.

I feel like a fragile egg,

Dancin’ on the edge of time.

I don’t know why I’ve survived,

With a heart that is so broken,

I wish I could start again,

All the words I’ve said unspoken.

In Your Wake

Something in my head tells me you’re gone

It’s like a silent space that empties out

A screw that’s missing, a hollow spot

I am filled when you are here

I am not so much when missing you

Vacantly I travel the same roads

But they seem to echo differently

They seem to sell me so short

They seem to have nothing

Them you appear in my horizon

Suddenly I am plugged back in

My breath returns with such a noticeable gasp

I didn’t recognize how much was lost from my day

Now I remember how it feels to feel.

Oh my god, I’d forgotten you

How could I have been pretending so well

I wonder if it was a visible effect

Did everyone but me know it

The aching I didn’t feel is gone

Replaced by you with you and for you

Pleasure has arrived with your return

A calming peace presides in my head

I’m floating on the walk and life begins to beat

My surprise is that I managed to ignore

The gaping hole you left in your wake

I promise to always carry you

I vow to never let you go
