Cowboy Boots

Cowboy Boots

The cities
Where you
Make it
Or lose it
You
Carry essentials
Only

And I
Don't believe
In Fashion
Or models
For that
Matter

Just another
Cheese burger
That needs
To be eaten

But cowboy
Boots
That's
Different

And
Books of
Facts
Living
And the
Dead

Don't carry
The weight
That
I see
In real
People

And there's
Not enough
Good
Left

For
Jean jackets
And
Faded
T-shirts
Have all
Expired

But
Tasteless
Cigarettes
I never
Smoked

And the
Company coffee
I drank
Unwillingly

Don't amount
Up to what
Cowboy
Boots
Could
Ever be

The Road With You

The Road With You

There's no
Road long
Enough
To travel down
with You

and Down
The road
With the top
Down
and the Stars
Shining

Your music
or Mine
Even though
I'm never
the Fan

And when
It rains
I'm holding
your hand
Tight

Or how
the Wind
flows
Over
Your hand
and through
Your hair

Long and
Winding
Fast
or Slow

Just as long
As your
on the road
with me
And
It never
Ends

Never Coming Back

Never Coming Back 

And two
In the
Morning
Comes quick

When everything
Closes
But never
Returns

And as she waits
By her
Phone
One can
Only think
Hope
For the
Best

But these
Days
Hope
Doesn't buy
Happiness
Let alone
Only
False hope
Empty dreams

And while
She dreams
Big
He's never
Coming back
And she'll
Wait all
Night

Until
The sun rises
And
The dew
On the grass
Will
Slowly
Vanish

Just like
The hope
She has
For him

He's
Never coming
Back

Do I Wait

Do I Wait

And
Do I wait
For the
Storm
Blowing through
Softly
Coming
From the north

Anticipating
Its destruction
A lovely
Lady
Coming
Into my
Life
Unannounced

And sparks
Start
Lightning
Strikes

Love
Or just
A storm
Of emotions
In the
Breezy air

Only
Then
Turning to
Tears
In the form
Of rain drops
As the storm
Finally
Sets in

And when
All is calm
Realized
The path
Destruction
Left behind

Only to know
And hope for
The sunny
Days to come

But the sound
Of her coming
The
Rain
Falling
I can fall
Asleep
To the
Thought
The idea
To her

Do I wait

Starbucks Coffee

Starbucks Coffee

I like how I
Stay up
Late
Because
I wait
Like I'm
Waiting
For
Something
To happen

And when
Work
Calls
my phone
Alarm
Rings

Those same
Circles
Under
My eyes
Feel
The same

Eye openers
Starbucks
Afternoon
Trips
Well
I saw
This girl
Once

To which
I offered
To buy her
Coffee
Although
Mildly
Reject

Anyway
Work
Lasts long
Enough
So you
Can come
Home
Tired
To try
To stay up
Waiting
For something

Again
To happen

Cigarette Smoke

Cigarette Smoke

There's no more
Cigarette smoke
To exhale
For the cigarettes
My cigarettes
I ran out

My last one
To her
And for why
Because I
Don't smoke

Just carry
Them around
As if
A lucky
Rabbits foot
Protection
Against evil

But her
How she
Smokes
Ever so smoothly
For I'd
Certainly
Cough up
Tar
Dust

And the sip
Of her
PBR
In between
Breaths

As if
Savoring
The last
Few moments
 Of her life
I watched
Intently

But as
She finished
Ashed
The sunrise
Rose
Lighting up
A new
Day

One I hope
That doesn't
Burn out
