Where are you now dear friend, dear friend I’ve searched everywhere but you’ve chosen to hide your face I close my eyes and say come home, come home why do you refuse me Do you not remember the times we had Did my love, my ways not make you glad Of all the people on […]

Depressed: Too tired to live, but too tired to hide it
Knock, knock who’s there no, why do I ask you’re just going to give me another grievous task Tick tock I’m here future is on the spot I laugh, I joke, at the future I could have bought but I didn’t want because I was too afraid too afraid to take control of my life […]
Queen of My Heart
Red petals fall to the tear-soaked soil Lush, vibrant, and full of color You were like them, so long ago I lay them beside you, the queen of my heart Like those petals, fallen
I’ll Sing You A Lullaby
Sitting in a quiet room at night, half past three underneath the sparkling full moon giving me sobering clarity I said “I’ll return soon” but it really was a lie In a terrorist cell, marooned but with failing breath I’ll sing you a lullaby Long live your beauty, long live your love but long live […]

Love is a highway at 5:29
Pull out of your comfort zone Far away from your home, and into the unknown I guess you could call it fate That every time I hit the road I find myself Quite too late The lanes are crowded Unable to pass left or right One slip and the moment is lost Lovely evening […]
If You Were a Bowling Alley
(A poem in which the character, who uses the name Fall Out Boy when bowling, compares the act to a girl he likes but will never attain) If you were a bowling alley, I’d say you were fuller than it as at nine If you were a bowling lane I’d say tonight your body belonged […]
