A girl I Once Knew
I once knew a girl
So very long ago
With her wavy brown hair
And eyes that sparkled so
I once had a friend
That was very dear to me
I could talk to her
And she could confide in me
We would share our hopes and dreams
And with it all our dark fears
Growing closer and closer
Back in those young lost years
I once fell in love
That would forever change my soul
With a girl who, would sadly never know
Each and every day, I prayed
To see her again, some day
I once saw an old friend
Walking by, on that fateful day
Which is now etched in my mind
And constantly replayed
I never said hi, or a hello, not even a good bye
I just looked and watched
As my life passed me by
And now I know, I can never go back

Legal Suicide
Blowing out the smoke
As if they were all my troubles
And watching them all
Quickly drift and fade away
I breathe in the grey death
Hoping it will kill all the troubles
That Ive held on to for so long
But all it does is kill me
I take a comfort in the thought
That I now have once less breath to take
One less thought in the burrows of my mind
One less moment obsessed with regret
Before I know it, the embers reach their end
As I take one long last breathe in
I remember all the little troubles of the day
And I just blow it all out

One day
I know one day, some day
Ill meet her
Walking down on some
Destined street
And Ill stare into her eyes
And shell stare into mine
As the world quickly disappears
In a moment that we will never forget
My heart will burst at the seams
As my mind grows euphorically blank
And somewhere between my mind and my tongue
The signals lose their way
And I, being the idiot
That I am and always will be
Will continue to walk on
Only able to look back

Reflections
I cast the first stone
Into calm waters
Watching the ripples
Slowly grow and fade
I stare into the waters
Reflecting myself
Wondering if this person
Is who I have become
The longer I stare
At that unforgiving sight
The more I wonder
If this is truly who I am
I dont know if Im me
Staring into the mirror
Or am I the reflection
Staring back at me
Is this how the world
Views this shell of me
Because this is not the person
I've imagine myself to be
Everyday, all I see
Is these two hands
And the world around me
Never caring how I appear to be
Avoiding mirrors
Wherever I go
Reflecting a person
That no one will ever know
