Vegas

Vegas

Drinks I drink
Bring out
The best
Thoughts in

Nights that
Can be
Relateable
To the
Opposite sex

Except
I grow
Weak
Kneed
At the
Thought
Of being

Self
Sufficient
Except
in my
Thoughts

Liquid
Courage
Excites
The evening's
Festivities
Except
I'd rather
Text
than
Speak

For my voice
Slurs
My thoughtful
Confidence
Once
Witty
Now just

Hazy
Like my
Eyes

Women
I'd aspire to
Have
Until
My sobering
Eyes
Make
Contact
With
Reality

Hotel
Pillows
Two beds
Worth

Enough
Not to
Feel
Worthless
But crowded
Overwhelmed and
Lucky
I guess

But at least
The drinks
Were free
And the
Vegas lights
Were
Bright

For without
Either
I'd
Truly be
Alone

Sleeping Over

Sleeping Over

There's not
A lot of
Good that comes
Out of it
Or us

Sleeping over
While
Trying to
break old
Habits
Trying
To break

From her
Grasp
in the
Morning
Tangled
In sheets

Cold
When I touch
Her
But colder
When I let
Go

So
Under the
Covers
Making eye
Contact
Looking
At her
At her
Most

Vulnerable
With out
As I am with
Her

And
Morning breakfast
Coffee
Patios
Crepes
How
the

French
That she
Speaks
I'll never
Understand

But
I understand
This
that
The door
Will
Always
Be

Open
To the
Thought
of not
Letting
Her in
The next
Night
Tonight

Blue Skies and Sunny Days

Blue Skies and Sunny Days

On the sunny
Day
In the field
The parks
Vast
Green space

I left her
Even though
We still
Held hands
I left her
In my mind

Already
Disappearing
In thought 

Cloudless
Like
My mind
Spotless
Of her
And her
Thoughts

Wiped
Clean
The
Tapestry of
Memories
Ideas

For as if
Letting go
Was that
Easy

Even
If
I didn't want
 To

Even if
I have
Yet
  To

Jewelry & Clothes

Jewelry & Clothes

Happy New Years
and the
Surprise
you got her
Cocktail
Dresses
Earrings
Attractive

For when
The ball
Drops
She looks
As beautiful
As she
Always does
If
Not
More

But
Do it
Up
Dress it up
Not down
For tonight
Counts

Because
jewelry and clothes
doesn't buy
Happiness

It just buys
items
To
Pretty up
A girl

   To make
You fall
In love
With her
Again

When all
You want
To do
Is let
Her go 

Sleeping Alone

Sleeping Alone

The nights
Don't do it
Justice
Enough to
Sleep

So
I bought
a bigger
Bed for when
I get
Lucky
Except
Now I
feel even
more
Alone

And when
I sleep
Alone
I take up
the whole
bed
As if

Sharing
My heart
let alone
sheets
Means something

And the
Distaste
In the
morning

Except I'm
getting
Around that by
Sleeping less

Becuase
Every night
It only
Hurts
Until you
Close
Your
Eyes

Classy Girls

Classy Girls

Broad appeal
Or a
Sexy steal
To justify
What I see
Her
Looking
Back at me

Those soft eyes
That I
See right through

I know
What she knows

I read her
Thoughts
She reads
My mind

Whispering in
Her ear
She looks
Back at
Me

She's not going
Home
Alone
She's just
Not going
Home
With me

Altitude Sickness

Altitude Sickness

The crack
Of dawn
Taxi cab
Rides
Airport
Planes

The pains
Of growing up
You don't
Grow
Without
The up

Up in the sky
Beverages
Adults drinks
Now
Met at
First class
Residencies
Just in time
For

Arrivals
Limos
Names on
Signs
High hopes
Or just
High
From flights
Altitude

Sickness
It's a bitch
The drinks
The turbulence
Or just
Home

Missing
In some
Order
Scatterbrained
Because
Starbucks
No longer
Helps
Focus
My thoughts

Except focus
On the missing
Not left
To gain
For gained
Is no
Longer valued
For having
Is worthless

But

Not having
Is priceless







 

Dependency

Dependency

Dependency
Well I guess
That depends
On how dependent
You are

Rather alone
And too
Far
Away
From
The one
True love

But residing
Within
The city
Lies
Lies
Of tales
Outings
Other sexes
Involved

Opportunity
To go
Grow apart
Together
Generally speaking

But dependent
Not on one
Or the
Other
But the feeling
The idea
That one
Carries
With the
Name
The title
 
And it's all too
Easy
To confuse
And cross
Lines so
Quickly

Because dependency
Depends on
Strength
Rather
Weakness
From within
