The Complete Loss Stumbling through the dirtHe asks himself questions that only he can answerHe’s been feeling some kind of maladyGoing through life as if through a looking-glassWatching as the clouds glide through a darkened skyWondering at the frigid wind that freezes his bonesChilled to the core by the promise of what's to comeWaiting by…
The Gracefulness of Love
I have been searching for the most perfect thing in the worldLooking at the flowers and luxuriating in their beautyDiving into books and living in their fantasiesGazing at the stars and appreciating the splendor of our universeTalking to animals and understanding their total purityI became one with the world as I am the worldI am…
To Be Loved by You
I stayed because I thought you needed my loveI took what you dished out because I didn't think I was worthy of your loveLooking back, we were just two people lost in a big world You wanted the thought of love and I needed to be loved by youYou thought I’d be your saving grace…

Sometimes the well runs dry it might as well be a pit in the Sahara desertSometimes the weight is just so Atlas's knees buckleSometimes the pain is just too deep a cut from a thousand sharp blades pales in comparisonSometimes the thoughts are so loud the world trembles from their echoSometimes the tears don't stop…

And The Animal
I'm not confident how I’ll dieBut I hope to come back some dogI’ll run between tall grassI’ll let my tongue hang out all-dayI’ll chase nothing and flip just becauseI'm not sure how I’ll die But if I come back a dogMight as well die today If I was to die todayI’d hope excessively I want to come…
The Otherness
Let’s say a heart for a heart Then maybe a laugh for a laughThis but all seems the normIn a world where love failsIn a world where cruelty reigns This is the norm of compromiseYou give I take I give You take When will the madness end?When will we just be us? For the mere purpose of love The…
