fall is falling down like I am
the floor is my friend, comfort me I’m lying
I’m staring at walls and ceilings ten times longer than i’ve ever had
I am tongue tied blind folded I am blue
fall is fading I am fading too (not into you)
the fog is my friend, help me see me clearly I can’t
you’re staring at walls and ceilings ten times over over thinking
I am tongue tied blind folded I am you
fall is falling down like everyone
turns out I am everyone
staring at walls and ceilings ten times over over over over over over love

red light (forevermore)

I think about people I barely know, a lot
as we part in the storm of the night where nothing really happened
nothing really matters and I am here
red light over me
nothing really matters and you are here too
wherever you may be
I thought I was over love, over feeling and over everything
as we part in the storm of the night where nothing really happens
simultaneously combusting, away from here to there and nowhere
red light ever after
here I am and there you are
whatever that means, I think about people I barely know
a lot
I wish I could form a memory of blue teeth and black lips
but I can’t cause nothing really happened
and I am here
red light forever more
I think about people I barely know
a lot

untitled piece of paper

you did a lot of crying, you said
I smell a lot of ether
you did a lot of lying in bed
not who you wanna be
I do a lot of talking in my head
not who you want me to be
I do a lot of lying these days
I’m hiding melancholy

Life's not always kind
You better get used to it
Painting with a knife
To get me through it
I am full of fear
And contradictions
Easier to hear
Beautiful fiction
My brain is automatic
It always shifts with no break
I wanna do without it
I wanna sleep for a day
A self portrait gave me hope through the day
Just like the rest, I threw it away
/
I remember sitting in a large white cube
In front of a large screen, shot on grainy black and white film
This place cannot contain her
This place cannot contain her unease
If she walks fast enough
Perhaps she can overtake herself
{Optical resonance}
A reoccurring nightmare
Usually called reality
The big question is
How to hope
And what to hope for
She did not come here to get away
When she leaves
She will fold up this place and put it in her pocket
for safekeeping
It was easier when I just imagined you

sweet release
from the thoughts that burn a hole inside of me
from the bodies where I’m grinding down my teeth
from the bedrooms that are haunted by my screams
I’ve tried
to feel better
but it seems
I’m still
this guy
being terrified
of everything
sweet release
from the smell of all those pretty happy times
in the bedroom where i thought i read your mind
in the days when i still knew that you were mine
I try
to swallow up your love
but it’s never enough
cause you don’t change
you just grow up
