predictions from the past

one day
when you open your eyes in the early hours of the morning
you’ll see more gray clouds then you did the day before yesterday
just remember why i fought for you
in 2185
explosions
woke me up in the night
your cold hands
kept me from leaving this war behind
fight for rights that we lost
and
died in my
sleep
oh i need it
why dont you leave me alone
it just seems to work
but
thats just how we felt
quite comfortable
just like the time i left you asleep
eyes never blink or cry for me again
and all
and in all
there was nothing left
to defend
so cry and weap as the sun goes to sleep
left to you and me
the new faded majority

year

its a lost word.
its just a placeholder.
like spaces in sentences.

a year since i knew you.
a year since i wondered about the future.
a year since i prepared.

nothing stops moving.
a constant buzz fills my ears.
the sun hits me.

year

if only i could go back and stop you.

wishlist

the vodka hits the bottom of your glass,
you’re on the floor in a state of mind that i don’t understand,
so wake me up in the morning behind the back of the bar,
because the world moves too fast for us to fall.

and when the world pushes back and we’re bound to fall
– the last push for those of us who need too much of everything and nothing at all.

the push,
the shove,
gives me all the cravings,
the savings of the pitiful,
and the tablets dissolve.

wish away the lust,
the pain,
and all the withdraw
-sleep tight with the fight that will end us all
