i want the warmth of the summer
like one we had
a life time ago
so i can see a friend
who used to live across the street
until he moved
and i moved too
and i remember when
we used to go to a girl's house
to jump on her trampoline
i remember when
we walked everywhere
and threw our heros up in the air
they never returned
but we refused to give up
i remember when
we met on our bikes
about 14 years ago
on the road between our homes
i remember when
he introduced me to stephanie
and we made memories
that i cherish and love
but they are fading
so i make myself remember
i can't forget
or a part of me will die
i remember when
we were so close
and i'm glad he's still my friend
well it never really occured to me
but we used to have something special
and i guess we do still
if only i had more friends like that
maybe i wouldn't be so alone
and it makes me want to move again
away from this town
and we could meet up and be ourselves
because that's what we knew
how to do best
this is not poetic enough
for me to call it a poem
so i'll call it a comment
on a past that i loved
a life i wish i still had
a friendship that still makes me smile
and i miss him

Pilot In The Sky (Nov. 12)

i looked up to the sky
and i thought that i saw God
no it was just a rich pilot
and the plane that he bought
well it sure put me in perspective
put me right in my place
but now i'm running as fast as i can
but still losing this God forsaken race

Poem Of A Parasite

i guess that it's expected
that when you are alone for long enough
you will attach yourself
to the closest living thing possible
and leech off their love
until you feel sane
and in this way
my brother and i are the same
but like i've said to my sister
you have to stop
and just let go
let your self fall
further away
until darkness surrounds you
and they forget your face
and you forget theirs
you forget what light is
and then i'll throw you a rope
and you can choose
to do with it what you want
hang yourself or
climb up
live in the darkness
or move on
but i'm not here to lecture
i didn't even mean to in the first place
i was trying to make it
sound like i was talking to someone else
but it's just myself
and i know i gotta change
i gotta stop this hate
and look for something better to do
rather than hate myself
so i guess that it's expected
but i hate it when people
expect things from me
and once again i fill myself with hate
so i have to stop this now

Bad Habits

i put my foot down
it sunk right through the ground
and it's funny how i don't know
what's real to me anymore
and as i drive my car back home
i sing out loud, as loud as i can
to try to push the tears out
i'm tired of who i am
and the sadness in these songs
make me happier for a while
but it never lasts long
and i never smile
that's what i like to think
but i smile a lot
and i take another drink
of the only water that i got
it quenches my thirst
and hydrates my skin
it helps the tears form
and blurrs my vision
but i'll leave it up to you
and your imagination
to figure out why i'm so sad
the meaning of what i've written
maybe i'm not sad
it's just a habit i have
like writing poems
or looking back
and sometimes i wish i had freedom
the kind that is real
not the kind that will help the world
but the kind where i can be selfish
maybe just for a day or two
but i can feel myself collapsing
so i'm done telling you of my sadness
but i'll never stop my singing

Wieght Of The World

there is a globe attached to me
but it's life-sized
i can't see the other side
and i'm thinking there are more attached
because we are worlds apart
you and i
sometimes
it feels to me
that i fail to see
the good
the beautiful
the love
the perfection
i feel the weight on me
and it crushes me flat
i can hear every bone snap
then i wish that my skin
would let go, let it out
but it contains the pressure
holds it all in
i hold it all in
i can't blame it on a part of my body
is frail
i am not strong
who ever said i was?
the world has to know this
so that it can leave me alone
like i always am
and stop crushing my bones
my dreams
