Addiction

What made you say that?
What made you speak?
Was it the chemicals in your lungs,
or the smoke between your teeth?

ferris wheel

we sat in empty parking lots
and watched the ferris wheel
talking about how
we were once
on top of the world

and now at the bottom

exiting the ride
but still syncing
our heartbeats
to the neon lights

Doors

Doors
All they do in my life is slam
Slam in my face
Slam in anger of others and me

Doors
All they do in my life is hurt
Hurt me and others
Hurt us because of anger

Doors
All they do in my life is shut
Shut and leave me alone
Shut and leave others alone

Doors
Remember
If one door shuts it is so one can open
And lead you to a better and brighter future

Dangerous Temptation

Travis Green

Dangerous Temptation

He is a dangerous temptation to my soul,
an explosive and strong beat in my mouth,
a rollercoaster ride spinning me out of control,
sheer seduction running through my cells
as I drown inside the swirling sea storm.

rut

I cannot
shed my
skin

the ***** cells
are clinging
to me

they are
supposed
to become
dust

but they
have decided
to remain

and build up
and weigh
me down

so I don’t
feel like
doing

anything

they are
supposed
to leave me

at least
daily

so I can
feel clean

and be
renewed

instead of
lost in this

old mattress rut

Consistency

Consistency

Material things don’t entice me
Empty promises don’t count as a remedy
Flowery words are pleasing to the ear
With apparent intentions clear

Is this just an infatuation?
An effect of my subtle imagination
This relentles game of tug of war
How I wish it wouldn’t end up in a scar

All I know is that I’m tired of this dance
Might as well give us a chance?
You have gone way past this armour
Consistency, that is all I am asking for
