Excepting the diner
On the outskirts
The town of Ladora
At 3 A.M.
Was dark but
For my headlights
And up in
One second-story room
A single light
Where someone
Was sick or
Perhaps reading
As I drove past
At seventy
Not thinking
This poem
Is for whoever
Had the light on
This poem is not addressed to you.
You may come into it briefly,
But no one will find you here, no one.
You will have changed before the poem will.
Even while you sit there, unmovable,
You have begun to vanish. And it does not matter.
The poem will go on without you.
It has the spurious glamor of certain voids.
It is not sad, really, only empty.
Once perhaps it was sad, no one knows why.
It prefers to remember nothing.
Nostalgias were peeled from it long ago.
Your type of beauty has no place here.
Night is the sky over this poem.
It is too black for stars.
And do not look for any illumination.
You neither can nor should understand what it means.
Listen, it comes with out guitar,
Neither in rags nor any purple fashion.
And there is nothing in it to comfort you.
Close your eyes, yawn. It will be over soon.
You will forge the poem, but not before
It has forgotten you. And it does not matter.
It has been most beautiful in its erasures.
O bleached mirrors! Oceans of the drowned!
Nor is one silence equal to another.
And it does not matter what you think.
This poem is not addressed to you.
the rest are by me :)
trying to get back
a part of you thats gone
a part of you i once had
feel a little crazy
like all this
is in my head
cant make you care
watch you leave
watch you push me away
what's going on?
i can't seem to find peace
knowing i'll never see you again.
tell me it's ok
tell me anything
just get you off my mind.
you leave me wanting so much more
than what you ever gave
and today
you haunt me
what is this feeling,
that i'm trying to leave behind..
what made you worth it?
is it love that's causing so much pain?
what's going on?
how did all this become so wrong?
keep seeing your face
just you
you steal secret places in my mind
you stay with me
even though youre gone
maybe you feel it too
maybe
i just need some peace tonight
to know that it's ok
without you
baby
what is this feeling,
that i leave behind
what are these tears
you leave in my eyes
why can't i just lay beside you
one more time
how did it get so wrong?
what's going on?
Feel just like a failure
Looking in your eyes
Listen to you calmly
Talk to me sweetly
Tell me that it�s over.
Break my heart
Break my heart
Please don�t
break
my heart
Love is tragic
My love was only you
Not enough tears
can bring you back
You�re like a storm
You kill me on the inside
Chasing your sweetness
Chasing your smile
Always what you want
Never what you want
Overcome
Consumed
Falling to pieces
Pick me up
Put me back together
You�re all I ever wanted
What I never really got
Can�t wait anymore
For what will never happen
Miss your sweetness
Miss your smile
Push me further
Watch me walk away
Please know
I�ll never get over you
Taken away..
somewhere else
Under a frozen sky
the only witness
You held me
You had me
Kiss me a little longer baby
The suns not coming up yet
The daylight's faded
We've got all night
No one else around
You make me feel beautiful
You make me feel free
Carelessly lost
I wanna give you my heart
