Shape Shifter

Patterns of heartbreak break

and they leak across these paper ties and lies.

They're held together with twisty ties and spit from flies.

Won't you miss your way?

This leather cell and paper trail isn't the way keep scratching at the walls.

Don't make me question forever again.

After you hear your name being called and the hair is dancing around your bedrooms walls, you can change the shape.

So play with it for a while.

Why don't you change the shape?

I'm picturing a circle what do you see?

You're picturing a square where the circle used to be.

Don't make me question forever, ever again.

The Fire Will Die, Like You & I

I fear I won't get better

I fear the glow of the fire won't hold

The crackle is what counts;

or so I am told.

The heat will dissapear

And I, well, I will be cold.

"Please don't wait for it."

Was all that I was told.

A few moments later,

my brain runs for a glow.

The glow of the burning ember.

And now, after seaching,

I am just old.

The run was not worth it.

The dehydration didn't help.

The sweat is burning my eyes.

Now I am hot as hell.

Tomorrow I will be older.

As days pass I will cool.

I will become older.

I will run out of fuel.

The Ocean, Sun, and WWI

I told the ocean waves to high five the sky and smile at the sun. A twinkle was born and the earth was created. A breath of completeness was then taken chased with salt water. Please be quiet and wash out your mouth. That salt taste will get to you but give it a second! Drink up and that salt will clean your wounds. Those battle wounds sting just as much as when they were first hatched and hacked. They might heal. And they might scar. At least they'll make for a witty story. So cheer up and smile. You're got company that wants to listen.
