(2014)
I have been proud I have considered myself wise I have thought that I was Far above The failures of others

Whether moth to flame Or drawn in like fly to shit You captivate me
What are you selling Everybody is That thing that you have That’s icing and fizz Every encounter
I can’t help wondering Was that really you Could it have been so High If I could answer
Youth is wasted Proving you are a man Seniority is wasted Lementing lost youth
There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation
There are so many things I’d like to say to you But when I see your face My mind just goes blank I’m terrified
Does it really matter Whose fault it was What’s been done Can’t be undone Anyways
Naked and unashamed The garden abandoned Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone

I thought I was the adult I had the years that is without question But experience and wisdom Those were yours
A powerful master Frequently cloaked Obscured by half truths Demands masked as duty Though there is nothing lovely in…
I’m not sure whether I love or ha… The me I am because of you You reminded me How good it felt To feel without reserve
Why won’t it go away This feeling of emptiness That you left in your wake I keep hoping I will get over you It took so little to ensnare you…
