| i
wonder why. if i tear holes in the heavens they're known
as stars. and why if i'm burning ties they're known as
lies. there's a thousand words to describe the same
feeling. yet i'm at a loss for them. one million eyes
blaze compassion. but i'm unwound by one. i wonder why
i'm believing lies, become unmade. and i'll dreams of
days when i'll be repaid, for all the trust i gave. and
i'm sorry that i'm drawing lines, between the pain it
brings. but i won't oblige as to why i tried, when i knew
i was failing. i wonder why i'm tearing holes. all is
shattered constantly, shards streak inconsistently.
slowly falling fast...a charred attempt to second guess.
all the answers lie in our dream, swimming in glass
streams. cracked windows broken through the misconstrued. scratching down words, bleeding, losing sight. yet
somehow it was all right. |

by eli. |
| I sat for two days trying to
illustrate how I was feeling but I couldn't. Finally
these are the words that I poured out sitting in
a parking lot in Oakland. At the time I was
living at Sammy's house for the summer and I suffered
from a lot of misdirection. Although these words were
originally written about a relationship, in hindsight I
relate these words to something that I think we all have
felt. We have all felt that there are no words to
describe how we are feeling at a particular time and I
see these words as being very positive to the fact that
if we strive to keeping putting our faith and passion
into everything we do, we gain everything. All we need is
clarity. -Eli |
