patrick o'shaughnessy Poems

it was like the fourth of july
with lights and sparks
as your lips touched mine
and we touched hearts
...

Im a middle class white teen
i dont own a single care
about the world or its hunger
or the people in dispair
...

i sat down at the table
trusting her with my heart
fragile to the touch
it could easily fall apart
...

i once was lost
just waiting for my end
waiting for the black
but then there came a friend
...

like a fourth of july rocket
sparks flew in the air
i peeked and caught your eye
but you didnt seem to care
...

i lost who i was once
in this monster i've become
i've started the war of my heart
but i need it to be done
...

A smile caught me off guard today
as i was walking to a beat
i forgot my futile troubles
as you swept me off my feet
...

i hear a thousand voices
and i am one of them
crying to be heard
like a newborn child
...

you say 'i love you'
but i know what you mean
you just mean as friends
but my love isnt seen
...

i've gone blank again
an overdose of apathy

scarred with burns
...
