Chris Newlash Poems

One morning I hope that I wake up next to you.
I'll pinch myself because there's no way that this dream came true,
I'll be the happiest I have and will ever be.
When we're together, you and me.
...

I'm a person, a someone.
I'm this person I've become.
I give up, for I can't run,
From this person I've become.
...

I'm just pixels, yeah, I know.
I'm nothing but, a photo.
I'm just a picture, from head to toe.
I'm just pixels, let me go.
...

Point me in the direction of perfection,
I'm not going the right way,
Don't let me keep walking,
Turn around, is all you've got to say.
...

You're only perfect if I make exceptions,
You're only perfect if your flaws are my neglections.
Now you know if i say it, I'm lying to you face.
For every imperfection, I'll outline and trace.
...

I'm just dreaming,
Drifting through.
I'm just here,
Nothing new.
...

</>When I die,
Where will I go?
Do any of you
Really know?
...

Your lies are a product that I'm not buying.
Realized, I have, of the fiction you're supplying.
My eyes are open, the truth so vivid
Once disguised, because love is liquid.
...

There is no logic, no math, no rhyme.
A toxic path, time after time.
The glass will break and the ice will melt.
Drugs can't erase your pain that's felt.
...

So many times I've tried to run,
Just ending back where I begun.
I thought that I could've run forever,
Thought that I'd be some place better.
...
