An Execution

An execution—
Go mark your territory
Unpacking pieces you’ve
constructed in your mind
Lately I’ve been
missing something
I hope I find it
in time
I misremembered
all of my friendships
Someone told me
we’re just acquaintances
You’d think by now
I’d be much older
I’m still a child
That’s what I told her
Sometime in winter,
One late December
I called your number
And no one answered
And no one answered

Lights Out

Tonight I watched you, sentimental
You can’t be the only one who knows
These are my impetuous natures
You can’t be the only one who’s shown
These photographs and pink carnations
weather on a stone
Would you still say it with the lights out?
Would you still say it with the windows drawn
and all your friends gone home?
Forget about those invitations
I don’t want them here if you’ll still go
Talk to me just like you used to
Kiss me on the lips before you go
Cigarettes and cheap sunglasses,
All you’ll ever know
Would you still say it with the lights out?
Would you still say it with the windows drawn
and all your friends gone home?
Looks when you were someone else,
They took me by surprise, but now I know
These night’s when everything’s too dark,
I see how I’m supposed to feel but don’t
Seating charts with space between us,
Poetry she wrote
Would you still say it with the lights out?
Would you still say it with the windows drawn
and all your friends gone home?

30 Months

Listen up—
I’m gonna tell you twice,
I’m gonna tell you once
that I don’t blame you
You did your best,
I didn't give a fuck
Look at us—
We’re failing miserably
at growing up,
But I’ve no right
to compare what’s ours
to what is not enough
In a portrait of your family,
I saw our past and futures combine
They looked so mad at me--
My heart is breaking my mind
Giving up
Another fight that winds up in the parking lot
Just like a tattoo
You had removed,
But haven't yet forgot
You're my sunshine only angel
You are my greatest fair-weather friend
I wish I'd got it right
I wonder which words you meant
Take a punch
Fisticuffs and break-up hit you
In the gut
I've seen some new beds
It never feels right when I'm waking up
This is not forgiveness
It's not how lovers say goodbye
Here's my apology:
I died by making you cry
for 30 months

Lilies / The Future

I’d go put some lilies at your feet (x2)
If we both should finally meet
If we both should finally meet, I would
I woke in the middle of the street (x2)
With some blood between my teeth
Remnants of the life I lead—I’m good
A light fall, tripping over the leaves
A tight hold, barely asking to breathe
Asked my friends for company
Sold some shit and bought some weed, I would

Aeroplanes

|
Day-to-day stays the same,
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I hopped aboard a subway train,
And everyone looked inward
Other brothers in the jungle
shaking hands with apathy,
I don’t think that’s blasphemy—
It just makes me sad to see
This is where we stop, get off,
jump out of the aeroplane
You’ve been trying to hard to be
something more than a human being
Four o’clock, Central Park,
I’m walking alone again
Bought drugs from a bitter man
Stole somebody’s wedding band
Played my music on the corner
of an empty street
Put a basket at my feet
Nothing but my pride to eat
This is where we stop, get off,
jump out of the aeroplane
You’ve been trying to hard to be
something more than a human being
