I want to wash away the filth from your withered heart,
I want to watch our feet imprint the sand on the beach,
I want to watch the birds swoop down by our deck,
I want to collect rocks to remind me of each day with you,
I want rocks, never ending rocks,
I want everything marvelous,
I want every emotion of you flowing in from the Ocean,
I want it to consume me
Let the marvelous emotions of the Sea consume us
Let our hearts become one
Again
For I know true happiness in me,
Lies in you
I'm sitting here
On this filthy sidewalk
Drinking my coffee
And writing this poem
By the way,
My coffee is awful
I could have prepared it so much better
I know this place so well
Too well
Cigarette butts, practically everywhere
Some of which are my own
Here I am
Still sitting here,
Writing this poem
And drinking my coffee
Each drink I taste gets a tad bit better
So, really I shouldn't complain
But no one is listening anyway
I think I'll just continue to sit here
Maybe write another poem,
Light another cigarette,
And continue drinking this awful cup of coffee.
No one sees me anyway.
There is a world beyond this which you think you know,
A world so marvelous it's almost as if you've made it yourself,
And you have.

In the back of you're mind
You know exactly what you truly desire,
Or at least I do.

Except I don't find this place in the back of my mind,
Or at least, I know I can't.

It is what's in my mind that I can't escape.
And I'm not trying to escape from what's inside.
I just want out,
Because in my mind
In my perfect world
My truest desires
Every single thing I could ever want
Is on a beach
I hear birds, and I see you smiling
I hear the waves roaring against the wind
I feel the most chilling breeze
Under the rays of the scorching sun
I have found my utopia
Brick roads and tired lights
They just don't shine like they used to
These roads don't even feel the same
I, am so, lost

Crooked sidewalks and closed windows
I remember when I could walk a straight line
Or even see the happiness ahead of me
It, is all, so lost

I have forgotten everything.
Except you.
Spirit that I feel within me outside this earth,
Where have you gone?
I once knew you like the lines in my palm.
I had them memorized.
Key word is, memorized.
You probably thought I'd say 'had'
But that is not the key word,
'Had' IS the key.
I had you so close.
Had. Have. They are so similar,
Yet so unfortunately different.
I know we'll have again.
It's just not our time.
But, what is time?
And, can we really have our own?
You said it so.
So, ill believe.
And in my belief, we will still have
Everything we could ever dream
Many suns ago, I lost my moon.
My moon, the rest of my being,
The other half of who I claim to be.
My greatest peace of me, and yes
I mean peace.
The evident light that filled my darkest craters.
The rest of my sentence,
Each time I opened my mouth
As if ingesting holy water,
You filled me up.

Too many suns ago, I lost my moon.
So long ago that I have learned to keep up with the sun.
Not only the sun, but everything he claims to be.
He leaves staggered directions all around me.
The sun is vicious, for he can not feel.
At least, not like you, my moon.
That ****** sun.
He will hold you or he will destroy you.
All I truly want is to be held.
Sweet moon, will you ever hold me again?
The sun has deceived me,
and I fear that he always will.
You filled my room with a presence it had never felt before,
I, had never felt before
Almost as if you two had met before
Almost as if you knew everything about my empty walls,
and why they were so empty
Why my clothes were piled higher than Mt. Everest
Why my pictures lay flat on my stereo,
Why the air was so frigid
As if you always knew,
and I never did

You love that too,
That I don't know.

But now I am left hanging
Like those flowers you bought for me last week
Beautiful without a doubt, and still
So beautiful through my eyes
But now,
They will hang
And hang
And hang
And I will keep them hanging
In my room, near the frigid window of mine
until you come back to my room

Maybe not so empty as before
Maybe my bed made this time
Maybe a bit warm for once
And when you come back,
I'll set them back in that same vase
And they will look just as beautiful as they did before
If not, more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined
And we will both know exactly why

— The End —
