I’m sorry for not being there
I’m sorry for never seeming to care
I’m sorry if you thought I never loved you
For that is surely not true
...

Open your eyes and start running
Don’t stop running
Your heart is beating
Your head aching
...

Memories hold true
Moments hold memories
Time holds moments
Past holds time
...

A small tree
Alone in the dirt. small and innocent.
Wind blowing through the leaves, smallest
tree all around. Small and strong. No matter
...

The rain

The rain falls down on me
Time comes and goes
...

When
I fell down
you picked me
up.When I thought
...

I dreamed a dream when I was young
I dreamed a dream many times
When I was 5 I felt so alive
Dreaming of being a keeper of the zoo
...

There once was a place where everyone was Tan
Every woman, child, and man
Tan hair, Tan shoes, Tan skin, and Tan clothes
Why they were all Tan is something that nobody knows
...

Long since pebbles have touched the water’s surface
Creating ripples as it hits the water
Three friends of old once came here
But will never come back it fears
...

Woke up this morning as tired as can be
Stayed up all night typing a term paper
Probabaly will get a get D
I splash some water in my face
...

Oh, this is taking way too long
I think the sign that says it’s done is wrong
The refresh button isn’t working
And I think that the hammer in the garage may work
...

People run past the flowers
With coffee in their hands they drink for hours
Their light is dimming away
Their rushing around struggling to fight it
...

Smile on its broken face sticks forever
Child’s laughter echoes in its ear forever and here after
Dust settles around it like a chalk outline
Still it never seems to whine
...

This house is not a home
This is not the home that I’ve always known
My favorite picture frame with mom in it now lies in pieces on the floor
I just don’t live here anymore
...

Little Billy did not go to school today
His parents do not know what to say
The world crashed beneath him they say
He seemed to keep all his feelings away
...

Look at the caged bird as it sings its melancholy tune.
Sad, isn’t?
Look at that other birds flying higher toward sky
The caged bird always wished to go up that high
...

Sunny days
Where are those sunny days?
When will I see some purpose?
Where are those happy smiles that I so miss?
...

When I don’t know where go
And my heart is weary from trying
I turn to you
It seems that you make all my dreams seem true
...

Diamonds never seem to last
It all happens so very fast
Nothing ever stays the same
And when we think of all the things we didn’t do we have ourselves to blame
...

I’m here to decree
That I have dreamed a dream of mixed reality
I’ve climbed the highest mountain
I’ve seen things that I thought my eyes would never behold
...
