Happiness is why I'll believe every word
Hope is why I always accept
...

Theres a bleeding heart in the garden; how appropriate.
I dont know where my lines got crossed and I
wish I could fully erase the lead mark you made.

i don't have faith in the fear, i fear the faith.
the glory of God has belittled the glory of beauty,
of purity, of grace.
...

From where I stand,
I can't tell if the tide is high or low.
But I think its somewhere in between.
as is everything else.

By far, im finished. I hope that ive seent he last of you. I'm building up what you've torn down. This may as well be a final goodbye. I'm sad to know that I put so much more into this than it was actually worth. You tricked me into think this was my fault, but to your dismay I caught myself before I crashed. You've shattered dear, and I refuse to pick you up again, for theres not a day in my life that you've done a thing to help me. And to think that I may have been stuck with you. I can hear your screams now, but I'm not listening. You dont fool anyone with your're excuses. They've become predictable and old.The truth is written all over your face.

all the sound is just noise,
violently trying to drown everything else out.
...

miracle mystery madly falling
into time warps of swingsets
on blacktop.
...

A clamorous fall from grace,
a fall into the abyss.

The misplaced links that

Silence is not a virtue, it's a burden.
The magnitudes of pain are never too great
when the world is silent.
It causes the rise of bile in my throat,
...

The base of this institution
is cracked.
It was built on lust
on top of real feelings,
...

The expansion of the space between us will leave us wondering.
And death is not an option.
As you tumbled from your pedestal,
I rose again, this time with my cross to bear.
...

with the opening and closing of doors,
i think of you.

you pass by, linger near, and stand in my doorway.

You’re in every corner of my memory.
No amount of time could take you away from me.

2008

I don’t think you understand how we see right through you.
Don’t assume we think you’re high and mighty.
...

2008

An emptiness above all others,
with an obsession just like every other.
...

2008

Amazing how I see right through you;
I’m almost positive I’m transparent.

i inhaled.
and with the air i breathed in the scent of time gone by.

the last gleam of hope just fell below the sky
splattering into thousands of lacy droplets

Forever more I lay low,
A best friend, so loyal I remain,
