Man with no sole, Rubber removed, distanced, spread This trail doesn’t lead home For ever, always running away from sound Demons that may chase Swinging for ankles rolling on concrete ground Man with no soul, An empty cavity sits with no fill Trusted in open arms Held in hand quietly there, Gasping for air I…

You said that you were speechless And yet you continued speaking I wondered why you said you wanted A bit of space, New found land to leave as haunted Dauntless, tasks you do, to wonder why A little bit of space, Everything above us, lost beyond the sky I said that I was spoken, Expressed…

When the pain enters Just wish it away Floral patterned shoes, ivory white socks Float like a cherry blossom Combat the knight Go all out with your swords Shining bright back reflecting your image What’s in the man that you see? Battle scars worn across these wrists Slashing tires to prevent her from leaving All…

A shorter walk down a longer plank, Keep walking A longer rope with a thinner width, Keep talking A promise of difference, It’s all just the same A bridge without limits, Keep falling A barrel loaded with a shorter distance, Keep shaking You’ve got your ways to rid of me, Keep blocking You’ve got the…

I wish the trees weren’t so quiet – With you around; And I wish the leaves would sing, When they fall to the ground I wish the branches weren’t so weak – With you around; They dance so peacefully, When they fall to the ground I wish the grass didn’t seem so green – Across…

There’s a million things you can’t change, A thousand where the outcome remains the same A hundred ways to breathe A dozen ways to smile Two ways to think You can’t stop gravity from holding us down You can’t change the color of the sky You can’t see the wind You can’t hold a knife…

The only words worth knowing Are those which coming flowing From women with blind ears The color of which has faced saturation from the loss of their balance And no father would ever leave their children behind if the mothers never lost faith in the words of love So where are we now versus the…

You didn’t notice When we all came searching I didn’t notice When I thought I found you I didn’t notice When you disappeared You could’ve thought It was worse than I feared Please don’t go somewhere far away, Please don’t leave me looking for today When it’s time to let go of everything That we’ve…
