Have You Ever Listened to Two Songs at the SAME Time?

(sorry it was late)
Now how about somebody asks me how it feels lately?
You know how it feels?
There is a thunderstorm inside my stomach.
It is going CRAZY in there.
And honestly, it feels really
blehhh
and
mehhh
and
echhh
in there.
And there is thunder in my head.
and it makes it so hard to THINK with everything booming around.
And the lightning flashes in my eyes.
OVER and OVER.
Just lay off, ya know?
I'm trying to READ and stuff.
Sometimes things are so simple and nice and then the clouds start to move into my brain and they're not scary, depressing clouds, they just make it so... CLOUDY in there.
It's just...
It's just...
WHY IS THE WEATHER SO OUT OF MY CONTROL???

It Was Dark and Windy, Anyway.

Dying to dream.
Dreaming to die.
Maybe
we
should
stay
home
stay
close
and
leave
the
light
on
tonight.

Ponytail

I hugged a tree
and I was 5
and I was 13
I breathed in and I smiled
and it was then
and it is now.
The clouds move so fast sometimes.
Page after page on the calender
flip, flip, flip.
November is a car window and a rusty bike
November is bleachers
and a little hustle-
and a little -bustle
And November is harmony
and mostly air.

Counting Seconds

Coincidence and Irony and Metaphors and Humor
Look Into The Sky And An Old Man's Eyes
the
whole
world
comes
down
to
timing.

Uncelebration

Why can't my music,
drown out the noise inside my head,
tonight?
so i cried for the first time in 18 months and he cried too and then i watched him walk out my front door and down the steps and the driveway and into the street and thats when it was too dark and i turned around and something was really really wrong because the double chocolate mousse cheesecake didn't make me feel better

9 Lives Minus a Couple

first the football is kicked and the players are picked
next the ice cream melts and the rain pelts
and now a leaf falls.
and just like the colors
we can't stop the changing
and we can't stop the changing from falling
and we can't stop the falling from landing.
and i'm not the cat.
i'm not landing standing.
now apples are dropping,
from the trees,
now my stomach is dropping,
i'm weak in the knees,
and
time
marches
on.
leaves change.
decisions, decisions.
change falls.
decisions, decisions.
falling lands.
Decision.

This Can't Just Be Another One of Those Lies They Tell Little Kids

"...And they lived happily ever after.
The End."
The End.
The End.
The End.
Doesn't it echo through your head?
When you are dead,
is that when it ends?
No breath, no pulse,
no life?
or does it end,
when you
Close The Book?
But don't you take a second look?
And open it again?
Maybe it never ends.
But then all of the stories-
they would be lies.
But didn't we know that already?
