Someone showed me the world and I closed my eyes

Now, left with a empty pockets and shuttered windows

I believe in lies.

Across the way the old man gazes out his window- he thinks about the routine. Work, food and sleep.

He smiles. What does he have that I am missing?

You showed me your colors

God damn- I could not believe there was colors so soft that could make my eyes bleed so strong

"So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow"

I despise the cold here

And the absence of sunlight in your eyes.

The wheels keep...

Elevator Silence

Lock the empty library, waiting for the elevator “Ding”

To the left-

High buildings hide the sky.

For a moment I fall.

All I think about is the sunset- that last orange peel of light

And your eyes

Telling me it’s worth it, Promising this is going somewhere.

Truth is: the sun sets every night

And for two hours- I’m alone.

Feeling scarred.

Alice’s cat smile’s at the burnt out lighted- city,

Filled with millions, rushing by.
