I've decided to not only use this blog as a forum for my thoughts buy also for poetry, at one point I'll actually sit here and pump lines out like a mad man, but for now I'll just type something I've already put on paper.

Disappear

Surrealistic journey through matter and time
and again the void is crushed
architecture that lurks as your mind
and again the feeling's rushed
Trekking for days just to see what I'll find
and again I've lost your trust
I'll give it all to you not to be left behind
and again I've said too much

Don't ever lie to me
I'll see it in your eyes
the fear and discontent
apathetic disguise
Just tell me what you know
tell me what you fear
there's nothing you can say
to make me disappear

Your body still betrays you
though now your words have left
smile though your sulking
I yearn to wander far
You say I'm introverted
and I suppose it's true
but where the fuck else might I go
when you won't let me in?

my heart feels like it's empty, and I think I have had enough
I'd tell you to be gone, but it seems like you're already off
The words I pronounce are true, yet still you refuse to hear
I'll see you in months, or maybe in years
Time cools us both off, and perspective soon clear
Yet as distance does grow, I'm consumed by fear
That I'll soon fall apart
That I'll soon disappear
