Unheard shouts
Silent screams
Outside smiling
You and I
The perfection of make believe

Miserable silence
Empty feeling
The jilted lover even when
Before you I was standing

Raging hearts
Hurried breaths
Gasping moments
Unfulfilled desire

You and I
The perfection of make believe.

She slips. he crashes...

She slips
He crashes
A web of dance and pretense

She lies
He swallows

She walks
He’s oblivious
She runs
He’s blind

She slips
He crashes

Friendship, lost
Like, buried
Lust, extinguished
Love, forgotten

She lies
He swallows

13/03/09

Stuck in the middle of everything
Left?
Right?
Forwards?
Backwards?
Every turn blocked
Dead end

But unexpectedly
reality is dismissed
Unseen sights
Unheard tongue
Unfamiliar taste
Rules, all broken
Indulged
In every temptation,
Nothing matters in this whirlpool,

Morals
Conscience
Non existent
Effaced
Free

I am not surprised,
Yet I am overwhelmed-
Raw.

It’s been hanging by a thread
That I no longer see
I no longer feel
I no longer fear
Detached.

All is
Alluring…frightening…tempting
Within my reach

Falling forward
Anxious
Paranoid
Happy

Because she knows
But words fail
Though it's at the tip of her tongue
Gnawing...
Come out with it!

Trepidation.
That life long friend...

In desperation they come.
Dangerous journey.
To some it seems illogical
And yet, what gives us the right to say that?
Were we there?
Can we ever relate to their plight?

Just answer me this.

What's so confusing about escaping in-discriminatory persecution?
What's so confusing about a persons will to live?
What's so confusing about taking any means possible. Literally.
Have not acts of sheer desperation been done before?

Why is it that we learn history,
But not compassion?
Why is it that we see images of horror,
But are desensitized?
Why is it that we take things at face value,
But not question our leaders motives?
Why is it that we hear talking about "them",
And accept their dehumanization?

A nation confused
People who don't understand
Leaders who don't give a damn
So stop mentioning our goodness.
Hypocrites.

Look no hands
No strings attached
Free falling
