this is probably all a mistake.
i'm finally starting to not feel bad for myself and realizing that all i'm doing is just wasting time, which is quite possibly the most precious thing i have.
they make a card for everything
and every word so sincere
full of hallmark sympathy
so sorry, you're grieving
but here, take this simple haiku
it'll explain how i feel
so you don't have to wonder why i didn't call
or why we didn't talk
so sorry, we never had a chance to catch up
before life caught up with you
whiskey makes headaches
and everything
go away.
symptoms of self-loathing.
what a fine feeling to have.
i had a taste of happiness once
it was hard to chew
so i spit it out.
lol
haven't seen the sun in days
on this
the dullest of vacations
riding busses in the rain
painting a picture with words but
the words decay
been while since i've fallen in or out of love.
over time, everything that you've ever wanted to be will come crashing down in front of you. it is at this time that you must reconsider everything that you've ever done and why, and how you will play the rest of your cards. for me, one of the greater joys in my life was playing guitar and making music with my friends, and as a result of a stupid injury at work, that will never be possible again. fuck my life. fuck it. i think it might be the result of karma. all that i've ever done wrong has somehow came back to me in the form of personal injury. but why? i've never REALLY done anything wrong. i guess i am a liar, but not a thief. i'm not manipulative. i don't purposely fuck anything up for anyone. i have never caused harm to anyone unless they deserved it. i've taken every form of abuse and pain that has ever been thrown my way and i've dealt with it. i'm not that guy that you hate, but i'm not that guy that you love either. i'm that guy that you can't stand because he's not afraid to say what the fuck is on his mind. and maybe sometimes i'm that guy you feel sorry for because he can't quite figure out how to live life. if i had to write my life story, it'd be anything but ordinary. but the past is over, and what i took for granted then i long for now. i guess that's just it. life's no storybook.
geese don't like meat
it's so lucious, this scenery
behind the curtains hides the greenery
that we won't see till the sun goes down
cause the night brings new promises
and laughter from all our friends
they all look better with a drink in their hands
all i wanted was just another
drink from your perfume
a little memory of you
you're drunk enough to fuck
i'm not sober enough to refuse
should have put the bottle down
before this body was exhumed
i wanted to create
this little piece
of art
but all i coughed up
was a little bit
of hair
that i choked on
when you caught me
tying it in knots
(get it?)
my tongue like
scarabs
each word spreads the disease
like too young lovers
in picture perfect
syncronicity
hidden between soiled sheets
you were the cure
for a blind man
chasing a blind dream
i found out yesterday
you're too pretty for mirrors
so we'll break them
cause there's no luck
that's worse luck
than her love
maybe we can take
this as a test of fate
and finish it off this time
there's no sense
calling out the shots you should take
when you know you won't take them
knowing they're the ones who make or break you
forgetting that there's two of you
left or right
if there was a way to choose between
me and we
paradoxically
we couldn't make it
dead celibrities line the floors
smelling like the latest trends
and whatever happens when maggots form
we don't even care any more
let's not play this game of chance
and for a second just forget
that this is all going to end
with or without our regrets
you can't help but feel a little sick
walking down whyte ave, our bodies hand in hand
calling out for some more shit you'll never get
fucking just to forgive
lying to make you feel like you're not done yet
who's gonna be there when you've finally lost your head
and your misery's on a killing spree
piling bodies around your bed
you're no god damn man
you're no god, damn man.
we're oh so special
oh so unpredictable
so foolish in our conversation
but it's laughter i need
and common ground to stand on
between two human beings
alive now in our sense of
feeling oh so
out of control
met you under the moon
smoking cigarettes at the picnic table
your teeth like elephant tusks
think i swallowed you whole
you've got to take care of things
when you're on the edge of
something beautiful and
thoughtful
coming from your tongue
to crucify the loss of control you lost
years ago
don't be afraid to say
what you couldn't
before
because so they say
time changes everything but
do we even know who
they are
any more
in the grand sceme of things, we're all chasing the same dream
and i've never been known for my impeccable timing
but if i haven't said i'm sorry then i guess i should
for the person i used to be, not me
i'm broken down and bleeding ink like
a box full of broken things you kept
beside your bed
for when you needed me
but i miss you now more than i ever did
cause we've both seen what worse can be
and best has been
lately it seems i'm torn between
and empty heart or an empty bed
so please if you can, put this thing to rest or tell me something that i can use to
rest my head
