You're Eyes Are Smeared

the shadows spilled down the tunnel
burried beneath the ocean
a deep dark blue
black, but cold, with dampened color

she walked along the edge
in the middle
she laid on the road

in her dress
she was a mess
but still pretty nonetheless

eyes rimmed with black
chilled with tears
but a smile shattered her image

so she waits.
for a light, for a ride
for a lift into another life

calmly crying
and still smiling.
a beautiful wreck
came from his death.

she lost her lovely hidden heart
for a boy who had his torn apart.

still, quiet, on the pavement.
her chest moved up and down
and the water started dripping

into the tunnel, into her eyes,
onto her skin, and into her mind.
flooded with memories,
her lungs slowed. stopped.

surrounding his heart's pounding.
a trigger went off.

love was the name.
if only she'd known,
maybe the girl wouldn't have felt so alone

Saturation

Scream, scream
boy you can dream
but you can't, be
one of those kinds that will
sing, sing
or you'll lose sight
of those simple things.

And we'll breath, as one
i'm already here
just hug, me love
i've already seen,
what you're capable of
with my feet off the ground
i've drowned, enough
to know, it's you.

Light was, spilling
shadows filling
up, your forgiving
smile.
my lungs swelled
they started to bleed.
so i sang half heartedly
for a while.

Leave, leave
stop holding on
and release, me
you're only fooling yourself.
sweet, sweet
just leave me be.
it's too much to hold
leave the heart on the shelf.

Filter

it's times like these
when i wish i could see.
live and roam free, in my memories

and sit by the fire,
by the light.
on the roof top,
loving the sight.
in front of the sunrise,
and by your side.

it's times like these
when i live for my dreams.

untitled

i started this blog about one year ago. i'm so greatful for the push i got to do so, because it's meant a lot to me. i probably wouldnt have written nearly as much as i have if i hadn't gotten the blog, because it makes it much easier to get your thoughts out while they're still in your head. i've learned a lot in the past year, and i don't mean about calc and physics, sorry public education, but i mean about life. i've grown a lot, and i'm still growing. i hope to continue to progress with my writing and my music. who knows where i'd be if i didnt have this outlet, life gives you some curvey paths to take sometimes. but hey, at least there's a path. happy birthday riley

Make It What You Want

fading out, 'round the room
not so loud, i'm leaving soon.

dusk to dawn, another ruse
tie me on, a beautiful noose.

not a sound. just a sight.
half way drowned, in a dazzling light.

might we let life try
with time, to take our signs
our lies, our perfect designs
when the moment arrives
and bend that shine
the blinding light
into an assortment of colors
with six blurry devides.

so the overwhelming light,
became the artist's delight.
way too much was really just right.
