I just need to write
I just need to leak
I won't say what's on my mind
I'll have the words search and find
Since when was opening up a crime
Only in this day and time
I want to speak
My tongue is locked
My eyes open wide
To flood things out
Stupid .
In a time where no one reads
No one reads the eyes
No one reads people
No one looks enough to care
If one doesnt listen , would one look?
Oh how foolish!
Teach my words to find contentment
Teach my thoughts to rest
An  escape does not exist
Only in unseen space

sweet summer grass we lay
sweat soft gently trickling another
swear sent oft we say
we vent our woft sick smother

Baby, I'm a thief.
I will steal your sleep
With a word,
Enticing you to shed your blankets
And walk the night with me
Like a demonic Sandman
And we'll do un-Hypnotic things
And un-Morpheus things.
Nyx would be proud.
So scurry away little boy
I will make you so sleep deprived,
You won't even remember your name
And I'll send you off in the morning
With dark circles,
Drooping eyelids,
And to accidents lying in wait for you
Beware of me, love.
I will ruin your life
As I steal your sleep.

Please
Forgive me, and goodnight.
A tribute to a poem written by a dear friend of mine. We all have nasty perceptions of ourselves to some degree. He thinks he's a shark, and I'm a sleep thief.

No.
Stop telling me to wait
Because I won't anymore.
Stop telling me you'll come*
Because I know you won't.

You are a liar.

Heck.  I like to be alone.
What good could you do?

I've been as cold as ice;
As hard as rock but
I showed my softness
For the sake of friendship.

I am still me.

This friendship is over
I am officially severing ties with people who are toxic.  I now see you only as objects.  Thank you very much for the things you've done.  I'm now turning my back to you like you've always done to me.

— The End —
