Sniper necklace
Your couch seems endless as we sit at opposite ends.
Reaching out for you seems pointless, you’ve become so callus. You can only get hurt so many times before you stop feeling at all.
Your eyes are tunneled in on some vintage film neither of us planned on watching.
I’m far away but I can see your eyes well up from here.
You weep so beautifully.
My sweater is drenched in your...
Bah
Have you ever dreamed something so vivid that you wake confused about reality?
Have you ever dreamed colors so vibrant that you swear before that moment you were blind?
Have you ever dreamed of someone for so long that they’ve become tangible in your mind?
Have you ever been places that only your mind could construct?
Have you laid in bed shaken and sweaty from night terrors?
Have you ever...
Where's my wallet?
I stumble into the house. My attempts to be discreet are thwarted as I slip into the kitchen.
I set my keys on the counter. I’m not sure how I got home.
I begin my hike up the stairs, each step is a mile marker as I navigate towards the summit.
Each step seems to bring its own challenge, and by the first landing I have a serious case of the spins.
Halfway there I tell myself.
I...
I brought a book to work today, I figured that we would be relatively slow.
It seems to the most uninhibited place that I’ve found to read in so long. I’m about 150 pages in.
I suppose I could complain about working today, but what good would that do. Either way I’ll be here, so why not be positive? Plus I hate hate hate when all people do is complain.
This was utterly...

One more goodbye won’t hurt you. Nothing I’ve expressed, seems to break your apathetic casing.
My lonesome life brings me back to the same doorstep and awkward conversation over and over. The same look on your face. The same shifty eyes and elusive words. How I long for some role reversal, maybe I can win for once.
We will be back here soon. And nothing will change. I’m a champ at holding on and...

I’ve spent so much time looking for an ounce of hope in this place.
I’ve seen bars where lonely souls poison themselves just enough to feel okay.
I’ve passed mansions occupied with corrupt, unhappy people trying to hold it together.
I’ve seen poverty hinder someones dreams and take lives.
I’ve befriended drug addicts who will always just need “one more...
Lunar eclipse tonight--
It’s supposed to be cloudy and overcast all night. I’m driving out until it’s clear to view it in all of its majesty. Come along for the ride?
You’re screaming at her. It’s the only way you know how to handle these emotions. She’s in your head, she’s smarter than you.
Her figure is becoming blurry through your eyes. Cool tears run down your hot head. The salty taste compliments those disgusting words. She’s done it now.
The words are cracking as you raise your voice. You’ve never screamed like this...
The sun peeks its radiant face out from behind the houses.
For the next ten hours we will attempt to accomplish the most that’s possible before the signs read closed and the chairs are put up for the night.
When the moon dims the lights all of our desires change. I’ve seen daytime people become night time animals. Pursuing deadly actions, motivated by the kill.
It’s the ultimate Mr.Hyde...

Ahhh tea and Friday…care to join?
Thought process 101
Letters drift along, forming words.
Words bump one another trying to find some order or purpose.
Slowly they come together.
Sometimes elegantly. Connecting together enough to impress and move hearts.
Most times, they piece into awkward fragments or choppy sentiments.
My fingers sabotage every thought as they leave me.
Nothing ends the way it began.
My lips are just as vindictive. Stuttering...
Some days aren't complete without a long,...

Best of friends
The horizon is endless and its darkness spreads for an eternity.
The moon sits alone in the sky, looking down at me.
Stars glimmer all around the giant rock, but none seem to match its majesty or tranquility.
So the moon sits alone.
I’m with the moon, staring back at it.
I’m alone too. Cars and buses and people with busy hearts and lives buzz by me. The hum of the city is a lot like the...
Oh hey, ask me things you people! →
tryingtobuildabalance asked: Thanks for the follow:) I like your blog!
Rolling in a sea of blankets our eyes stare at one another.
Your half smirk and squinted eyes appeal to me.
“where are you?”
You question the location of my mind and heart.
I stumble to find an answer,but before I can you find a book on the nightstand.
You butcher the authors name.
“why do you like him?”
You’re full of questions, your mind is a bare canvas...
I bangs with Bukowski and Cummings.
Like any real nigga.
Early night.
Sliding across streets, gripping at the asphalt to keep me grounded.
I’m beginning to regret my decision to trek across town to see you, but I’m closer to you than I am to myself.
While you’re preparing yourself for me I keep a steady pace as to stay in control.
Tonight has all the looks of magic but the makings of a letdown.
I hope to slide into a car or pole to avoid the...
Reason
I can’t stand how you’re like everyone else.
Nothing you do comes from within, but you portray it to be something more.
You’re superficial and so are your ideas.
You’ve become a walking, talking trend who is convinced otherwise.
I’m weak but it’s by my own doing.
I’m glad we don’t speak.
“You get so alone at times that it just makes sense”

The streets are covered in snow but they look so different.
It’s dirty and desolate, but its beaming with life.
Almost like you.
The closer I get to you the more anxious I get.
Potholes keep me focused on what’s ahead of me.
How do I mask the disconnect between us?
A mother to my father but a stranger to me.
I can’t even say it makes me sad.
I pull up to an unfamiliar...

I can no longer decipher the difference between strength and numbness. I can’t tell if I’m growing up or falling apart.

It’s December but the room feels like August.
It’s hazy and smoke filled, bright lights illuminate the darkness intermediately.
Bodies against me knock me off course.
The light brightens your face for a moment. You’re lost, caught in a moment.
I want to be the with you.
You run your hands across your body. You’re lonely but content and I envy you.
The bass knocks...
danivvv asked: Hey! I hear you used to go to Tech, Well I read a few of your things, and you're a really amazing writer! Just letting you know :)
The thoughts we share with eachother know nothing about limits. Secrets are prisoners looking to escape the confines of the cold cell.
You have an extraordinary knowledge of the classics but you know nothing about good music.
There’s no use trying to match your intelligence. I’ll just have to let my wit win the race.
You’re captive in your narrow mind and I’m scratching...
The most I can say is spoken through our silence.
I’m traveling in the opposite direction from where you told me you’d,be so I don’t have to see you.
I just hope you haven’t lied about that either.
Brulee with a side of insanity
You sit across the room with your crazy thoughts.
At first glance you seem sane.
But the way you stare at everyone who walks by speaks volumes.
Your eyes turn any man with good taste to rubbish.
You swirl the contents of your half full cup counter clockwise and aimlessly get lost in the flooring.
You dream about a luxurious dress that flows into a marvelous night of dinner and live music....
