It is the same rain that you loved that drowned you
The same ocean that you swore would never harm you, but did
The same fire you said only warmed you, but charred your face.
The same ice that you said cooled you, but blackened your finger tips
It is the same rain that you loved to dance in, because you knew you might fall
The same ocean that you loved to swim in, because you knew you might sink
The same fire that you loved to sit by, because you might burn
And the same ice that you held, because you might learn
It is the same rain that you loved, but yet it never loved you back
Just a way out of the world that you promised yourself you’d leave, but failed
Or so you thought, because I’m here to hold you close now
To guide you through this endless sea of time that you never thought you’d sail
But here you are
It is the same rain that you loved that pushed you
Grabbed a hold of the feet that you stood on as you listened to the only words
That spoke to you
Held you for a second, convinced you that you were loved before you fell
If only you would’ve screamed for help
If you did it was nothing but a whisper that barely made it past your lips
You knew you wouldn’t come back down to where i knew you would’ve lasted
But you are in another place now, a place I cannot reach
And although it is you standing by my side, it’s just a body

In a world that forever changing, how do you expect me to remain the same...

We all stand beneath the same sun’s glow,
Its light unites us, high and low.
No matter where our worlds may be,
In every heart, equality.

Differences fade in morning’s light,
No need for shadows in our sight.
For under the sun, we’re all the same,
Equal in hope, in love, in name.

Why is peace a dream so far away,
When the sun’s rays could unite our day?
Perhaps our worlds are too far apart,
Burning in different fires of the heart.

But if we look beyond the night,
And see the sun’s eternal light,
We’d realize that all are one,
Beneath the same unending sun.

Leak into another night
     I am dead mechanical
Cut black lines into my skin
     Tattoo me with asphalt
Touch my face one time--kiss me goodbye with an insult
          I'm just fading tail lights
          It isn't my fault.

               Your fingertips are tracing something...
         And my reddened eyes are craving something...
     Some might hope for for the weather's improvement,
                        but, me?, I'm hard in love
                        with the cold front that's
                                     moving in.

Let me crawl across the sky--
     a skull coated in red wine.
The Titan's getting tipsy.
     I'm at home in the sweating night.
Cracked my ribs one time, kissing asphalt on Orange Street
          Then I had to stand up
                    screaming
      after sweating through sheets!

                My memory surrendered something...
            Your frozen face was mending something...
        Might have hoped for condition's improvement,
                        but, me?, I'm hard in love
                           with my aching--that's
                                     all I am.

Dead Mechanical
     Romanticize it.
Dead Mechanical
     I can't eclipse it!
Make me fiction, or ***** my fingertips.
     Let me lie. I am Dead Mechanical.

Almost 600 poems,
On my way to 700,
Yet some how,
I haven’t written the same thing twice.

(Ignore the sunset poems)

we
          are
not
         the
same


        and i hope
we never are.

       you
worthless
     hopeless
undeserving
      awful
monster.

we
          are
not
         the
same.
