Treading a broken road

Last night I came awake while you were sleeping
As I looked to your face I realized I don’t know why I’m here
I can’t understand what this really means or why I stay
As I slipped off into my dreams I heard a voice a distance away
No one knows why their here and no one knows why
The only thing that matters is today
I feel this sliding far away
You’ll never be ready if you stay


While you slip away out of reality
I’m still here
Gripping at the shirt tail of the future
And what it holds for me, in the distance
Because my vice isn’t the same
As I prefer veracity over optimism
Keep walking on, never looking back

Lost lonely cause

Oh tomorrow why do you come so slow
Do you bring of new harvest to sow?
Oh today where did you go
Did you crash away in the tides so low?
Oh future what do you bring
a new life is what you sing
a past, present, future ring
oh tomorrow why do you come so slow?

When death beckons

There's a box on a shelf

all wooden in structure

As you walk by try to notice

Theres a lady in silver

as the dew settles calmly

the light trickles

through the crack in the door

the alarm sounds

please dont wake her while she sleeps

She doesn't have much time

sometimes you cannot see

what is truly in your eyes

So sit back my dear

dont count your days

love your grace for what its worth
never allow your heart to stray
She's trying so hard to stay

Crying as the morning nears
