We’ve made some mistakes,
like recently polluting our lakes
but we’ve done things really great.
Discovered on two risky trips in 1497 and 1534
...

Ivory skin falters thoughts,
Perfect sculpture like faces and bodies daze,
Deep blazing eyes of red and gold mesmerize,
Brown, gold, red, white, and black hair sends shivers down my spine.
...

In the moonlight, oh the moonlight,
Comes a face I know too well,
But I miss, but I miss, Oh I miss your stars tonight,
So please keep your memory of us,
...

I looked out my window and saw a blue bird,
Rememebered that even his happiness was absurd.

I lost my best friend yesterday,
...

You change yourself every time you work,
Like wearing new jeans and a new shirt.
Your face changes from its state of playful dismay,
To one that's ridged and defaced with betray.
...

You killed a man yesterday and watched him pass away
You looked into his sad eyes and thought about today

You thought about the lonley sidewalk he decided to take that night
...

There is a letter under my bed,
In the darkest corner, waiting to be read.
There is a meaning in each word -
A silence no one else has heard.
...

</></>Where is my mind?
I keep on drifting through my thoughts
you say I love you but I dont really know
and when I finally give you my faith
...

</></>Heaven has left me here
I wish for the will to turn back time but no answer follows my hopes
though I stand on my feet
I am pulled to the ground
...

Can't you remember what we had?
I don't want you to answer.
Just listen to what I remember - the way I wish you had too...
Everytime we would lay in the darkness holding hands,
...

'Thou Shalt Not'
And the words ring proud and sad in the same chime.
I vow not to commit it.
I vow not to commit anything.
...

There was a story I once read,
I never understood exactly what was said...
The words could be written and read - all the same
but my mother always whispered: 'Never spoken again...'
...

...

...

I dreamt of her death,
where her car veered off the road,
the water filling in
through the open windows,
...

Anticipation runs free within my blood,
I wait silently for the rough call of the starting line,
Then it happens,
I hear my mounts name ring through the stadium,
...

I shake uncontrollably,
As I feel the need surge,
I see my sweet surrender,
And feel it coming to me,
...

You remind me of nothing,
Your pictures that you've painted in my head are worthless;
Despite all happiness you've brought me in my life.
...

Closed windows,
Locked doors,
Curtains drawn,
Three floors.
...
