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

Under the Covers

Under the Covers

Wake up
Covers
Keeping me Warm
Or just
You next to
Me

And rolling over
To see
 You still
Asleep

Catching the last
Few seconds
Of dreaming
Before
 You open
Your eyes

Means the
World
To
me

And
To hide
The moment
I cover
My face
Wishing
The moment
To last
Just  little
Longer

But
I can't but
Help
Falling
Falling
More in love
With you

Don't Look Down

Don't Look Down

And I stopped
Writing Years
Ago
Because I guess
I thought I was
Too Old
For this shit

And
Because
I guess
Parties
that last
All night
Aren't
My forte
Rather
Making forts
Is

With
The leaves
Finally Falling
The seasons
Pass you by
Making
 You
Feel old

But the numbers
Keep adding
While it
Only makes
Me feel
Younger

Don't look down

Fore Once Always and Forever

For Once Always and Forever

And the time
Keeps ticking
Whether or
Not
 You pay
Attention

Cause
Counting
Down is
All you can
Seem to
Do
 Some days

And the
Delay
Or departure
Of what
Needs to
Happen
Be here
Now

I can
Only imagine

For
Postponement
Of tomorrow
Is inevitable 

But when
That tomorrow
Finally
Arrives

It will
Have made
Everything else
Worth it

For once
For always
Forever
