I am from gold chains
From Folger's and chocolate chip cookies in the morning
I am from the first house on the left "Old and spooky"
(Wide and tall, magnificent yet eerie in sight)
...

I hear the noises commin' from up above
Is it a monster in the attic?
Or could it be the wind?
Late at night I hear them talkin' about me
...

She dances swiftly through your ears
Precious melodies brushing away all of your tears
Her voice is as sweet as honey
It makes the greyest of days seem sunny
...

I've been tongue tied before but never like this
Not when I'm staring at your lips thinking about a kiss
Feeling my heart rate increase w/ every glance at your eyes
I know we've had some bumpy rides
...

I miss you, the next time I see you can I hold your hand?
It makes it easier, b/c against the world is where we stand
But against the wall is where I want you to be
The friction, adrenaline, my breathe all you'll be able to see
...

Maybe one day I'll leave and no one will ever see me again
Maybe people would care but only then
Maybe it's cause they took me for granted
Maybe they think that I'd never leave them abandoned
...

Today my old man turns 54
That's totally like the new 24
He wears button ups and dress pants
He's old school like his prison green tatts
...

When I text you it's because I miss you
When I don't text, it's cause I want you to miss me too
I stare at our last conversation
Excercisinng all of my patience
...

Dr.Seuss
Was a very silly goose
Who liked to rhyme and riddle
Compared to him I'm in the middle
...

Whenever I see my reflection in the window I feel sad
I can see the loneliness in my eyes
And it reminds myself of all the past memories good and bad
Reminds me that time flies
...

I'm tired of asking for love ya know
Love is suppose to be like two flowers that grow
They grow together and not apart
Because to them their life is nothing more than art
...

Whenever I'd get nervous
So nervous I'd be freezing cold
I slipped inside my sweater
Where it's nice and warm
...

I have plenty of questions
That slowly eat away at me
Like a plague in the water
And all you are is the rain
...

People are always so concerned about the distance
But it's only as far or as near as you make the expanse
That they are worried about, but what they don't realize
Is that distance is not measurable and I'm not wise
...

We're just a couple of rejects and outcasts
Haunted by the ghosts of our pasts
We never knew that life would be so systematic
"Don't color outside the box", well imagination is what they lack
...

Can I grow wings like new
And jump off this picturesque view
A bridge so wonderfully high and sturdy
Like a nest in a tree and I'm the Birdy
...

You can listen to my heart
Stare into my dark brown eyes
And betray a kiss on these lips
...

The gloomy boy fell asleep under the old oak tree
He laid there with his cigarette between his lips, he felt free
But only in his dreams never in his dreary reality
He pushed away all the people who spoke to him playfully
...

A riddle that stumps the greatest of minds
You don't find it, but you is what it finds
It makes you happy and it makes you sad
Cause it can be something good or something bad
...

There once was a rose
A hard life in the gutter it choose
It was tough with a thick stem
A crystal in the mud like a rare gem
...
