Here is nowhere and everywhere I am trapped here But completely free Go figure I don�t feel happy. I don�t feel sad. I just don�t feel I hate you Hate Because I can�t I can�t escape you You draw me like I am your puppet On strings that stretch Stretch on forever But Never break. I hate you Because you hate Hate me for not Not� Not what? Telling you the truth You would hate me I knew, the moment that I read them Those words were meant for me Who else calls and answers when told not to They stung in so many ways the devistation Of a soul in need of hope and shown despair So heartless? No. I think not, but wishing to be I wish to push away sometimes too Always I�m pulled back again. Stupid karma Stupid face, smell, hands, life. I knew when I read them Those words were meant to sting I didn�t call. But this is my answer. I still care, and you nor I can help that. I can�t sleep, I had a bad dream I need a walk out in the late night Early morning air, with a good friend Me in my sweat pants and cheap payless shoes Thin worn-out t-shirt Just a walk underneath the stars made hazy by streetlights No need to talk, idle conversation unnecessary It�s just you and me On an early morning late night walk A stop at in the florescent lights of the donut shop It�s there and its open A bagel and a donut meant for breakfast Too quickly consumed, then back to the darkness of the lonely hotel room sneakers come off and sleep seeps into my bones calm after our early morning late night walk. A void of cluttered space, how I live; in space that is not my own but it sits there full of my possessions. Cheery in that dismal sort of way, my environment. Dark and dreary, void of life, my room a modge podge of belongings. Inspirational posters, my own artwork all hung as if by accident. I don�t feel at home in this space. It is a prison. White walls dirtied to a pale yellow with age. A wooden structure in the corner, pretending to be a bed waits for me to feel the effects of sleep. Mattress and sheets wait to entangle me in their unrelenting grasp. Harsh bars and flimsy cushion invite me to sit. Sit there with my feet up on the space-eating trunk. All around me the cluttered lack of life in these objects, all the stillness. It drains life, out of me, and out of itself. No one wants to be here, in this cluttered void. "Hope floats, but dreams sink in a sea of vast emptiness. The world sinks, into that same deep purple depression. What to feel, what to think. All around me the mindless chatter, and deep in my heart the clatter of storms. My world, torn asunder, left to sink in an open sea of devastated dreams" Do not invite me, I will not be pleasent company. Strolling through the grass is not where i need to be. A dark quiet room is more my style. Please leave without me. I don't want to meet your borish friends, to roll and frolick mindlessly care free in the woods. Just leave, now. apologise for me. to the man i have neglected in my isolation. I will not meet him tonight, or ever. Tell him simply; I am deadBlank, it is better to stay that way. Quiet passive, unknown. She sees me, they all do. I can not escape their eyes. but I can dodge their minds. I put my trust in you handed you my emotions joy and sadness You are my heartbreak Deep down inside, where the demons reside I dream of devious dark things Things that I can't speak or sing I choke on them Main page Poems main page
