New Year's Grieve


5 am, first day of the year
clothes still stink of whiskey and beer
everything was going fine
till I saw your face in the bathroom line
Out of all of the parties on New Years Eve,
Why the fuck did you come here? Why the fuck don’t you leave?
As you give me a hug, I'm lost in your touch
Why the fuck is it that I love you so much?
There's a million more fish in the sea
A million more girls waiting to love me.
So why is it I'm so hung up on your eyes
When the fuck will I realize?
As you let go of me I come to my senses,
I feel you give me that look but I put up my defenses.
You can call me a coward, you can call me afraid
But there comes a time when even the brightest stars fade
I might be drunk
I might be bitter
I might be a punk
I might be a quitter
maybe I should've kept living the lie
maybe I shouldn't have said goodbye
but I know deep down it was the right thing to decide
even though it's tearing me up inside
Time to pass out and start the New Year
Thinking of you...wish you were here.

One Armed Scissor


yes this is the campaign
slithered entrails
in the cargo bay

neutered is the vastness
hollow vacuum
check the  oxygen tank

they hibernate
but have they kissed the ground
pucker up and kiss the asphalt now

tease this amputation
splintered larynx
it has access now
send transmission from  the one armed scissor
get away cut away

banked on memory
mummified circuitry
skin graft machinery
sputnik sickles found in the seats
self destruct sequence 
this station is non‑operational
species growing
bubbles in an iv loitering
unknown origin
is this the comfort of being afraid
solar eclipsed
black out the vultures 
as they wait

dissect a trillion sighs away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sucked in my veins
i write to remember

cuz im a million miles away 
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember

Friend Forgotten


Such a shame when friends are pushed aside.
Along love’s wild and bumpy ride
I remember before she came along,
Our friendship used to be so strong.
But now it seems we're drifting apart
Because a woman has stolen your heart.
Just remember that it's very rare
That the love will be forever there.
And when the magic of love is gone,
You’ll need a shoulder to cry on.
Where’s the one who used to comfort you,
the one who used to help you through?
No one to tell you it’ll be okay,
The friend forgotten along the way.
