Yesterday I was consumed in manic thought
Trapped amongst the ruins of the kingdom lost
Spiraling without direction in turbulent cyclones of an even greater hurricane
I've ridden so many possessed winds before
But these gusts were more than tumultuous airy waves
They were furious fireballs scorching past my cool skin
So fast I could not make out their purpose
I could not decipher the reason I was so lost in these thoughts
But I didn't want to escape this storm
I wanted to weather it

You watched me from the observatory
And although you read the forecast as clearly as I
You refrained from offering shelter, even if my refusal was certain
I grabbed at the lettered sparks trailing the flames flying past
And collected incomplete sentences that burnt into my cupped hands
Enough to fill the blanks and grasp a vague understanding
Enough to finally speak what was heavy on my mind
To break the silence of feeling your loud eyes upon my troubled thought
And to voice words you already knew were coming

We listened to a song the previous day
Lyrics already  retained gave way for her spoken words to be remembered
And I remembered them, and in mind they echoed calling my attention
Encouraging my comprehension to  call upon understanding
To push speculation in order to pull out thought in a single thread
My mindful spinning wheel kept turning as the threads emerged
And rolled of my tongue in woven sentences
Yet you didn't pick up the ends to help me fold my tapestry of fate
Truthfully it grew and your unmoving feet bore down upon it
You had to go before you trampled all of our future

You
Moving on, your more than gone

you showed me the way, by never giving the option to stay

you taught me a great deal, with all that was real

you showed me the lies, helped me learn to hide my cries

you taught me my strength, to you i must thank

the look in your eyes, the coldness it cannot pass by

you tried to play me a fool, i will admit i couldnt keep

it cool

but now that your away, without you i must stay

if not for you, i wouldnt know my feelings were true

you had your fun, you had your games

you gave me hell, you have me your pain

you did as you planned, you did it well

you gave me your pitch, indeed did it sell

you broke my heart, you tore me in two

but if it wasnt for you, i would have never new...

to be alone is not to be lonely, but to be saved

from in which the drama this world craves

to be without you, it didnt seem true

but i found my one true love, and the girl isnt you

open your mind, open your soul
Without life to unfold, you can't pay the toll
Live life the way you want, never how you should
because in the end, you'll wish you really could
Time for fun, time for life, if you dont feel like
your living, your not doing it right
we are all connected in every which way
There's a part for everyone in this on going play
Find your purpose, find your reason
Dont just wait for that right season
Life is a blessing, life is a gift
pick yourself up, give a stranger a lift
Do the unthinkable, and do it with pride
For life is nothing of a dream
its an on going ride
Strap yourself in, or let it hang loose
This is your life to live, so you get to choose

not ten, but three
confess more simply,

I choose thee

There are three things I can't stand
A crying woman
And a lying man
That is where I draw the line in the sand
A crying woman
And a lying man

There are two things that I hate
People that don't learn from their mistakes
There's not a whole lot more
On the subject I can say
There are two things that I hate

There is one thing that I know

Addiction, contridiction
  My life in a sum, perplextion, feeling numb
I cant get this threw, not when all i think about is you
  your in my dreams, your in my thoughts
In the back of my mind you continuously haunt
  out of my head, out of my mind
your beauty i need to find
  in my arms once more, like the struggles of the poor
More than the average love, to me you rise above
  your all i want, my memories they taunt
no point to go on, not when your gone

I see a million faces
All going a million miles an hour
With a million things to do

I hear a million conversations
With a million different voices
And a million words to say

I see a man with a million dollar watch
Yet twenty dollars and twenty minutes later
I see he has five million more

I look up to see a million signs
Millions of flashing colors and words
With a million eyes just passing them by

I see a million I heart NYC shirts
And a million cameras pointed in every direction
All flashing five million times

New York City must be amazing
I mean not many cities can say
They’re a city of millionaires

He's yelling
right in my face.
I did this wrong.
I did that wrong.
He is considering
letting me go.
A fake smile
is all it takes
to keep my job.
'Yes, sir.'
'No, sir.'
'It won't happen again, sir.'
I think about his wife.
His car.
His house.
His dog.
His parents.
And how they brought him up.
Spoiled his ***
every ******* chance
they got.
I keep my mouth shut
decide to smile
and return to my desk.
It's not his fault.
His ******* parents
simply didn't know
how to beat some decency
into their son.
