NW Apartment

NW Apartment

Signing
New leases and
Signing away
Life for a year
Well hard
Earned money
Spent
Too much
For too little
Space

But
Living
In the city
Rather closer
To her
Well
For her
Not to
Know

Parties
Thrown
Neighbors
Grown
Close
Unlike
Past aquaintances

But
Unspent
Minues
Waking up
To catch
The sun
Rise
The city
Burning

For Her

That NW
Apartment
I still
Pretended
I was in college

And where
I met
Her
 Memories
I'll never
Forget
But take
with Me

Forever
In the city
Forever
The
NW Apartment

Your Hand In Mine

Your Hand In Mine

There
Are no words
For the Deepest
Regrets
We regret

For the mistakes
We pile
In a
Corner
Hidden
From
Sight

Yet
Every
Morning
We wake
 Up
Breathing deeply
Deeper
Than the
Previous
Day

From exhaustion that
Doesn't add up
To the
Thought
Process
Processing
Right now

Restarts
Don't exist
Rather
Each
Day
Restarts
Life

Yet we
Don't forget
Only
Just grow
Days
Older
Wiser
Than the previous

To further
Put ourselves
Ahead
Because
Going back
Isn't
Part of the
Plan

The Personals

The Personals

Browsing
Personal stories
Rather
Narratives
Online classifieds
Classified dating
Classified as useless

Ranking those
Descriptive
Describing
Words
I never cared
About
Until now

And likes
Dislikes
Well done
Choosing
Wisely
Wisely enough
So I
Wouldn't
Choose you

Put here
To procreate
Yet creating
Conversations
Introductions
Lacks
Courage
Let alone
Similarities

For now
Forever
At least
Deemed
Useless
Personally
Classified
As single

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
