Ventriloquist

Listen closely to the music

That fills my playlists

The lyrics

Say everything I feel

And use the words

That I never speak

Empty Ears

Sometimes

It’s not a particular thin

That we want to hear

But anything at all

To fill our ears

And give company

To our thoughts

Balance

 

 

Life balances itself out,

But my scale

Seems to have been broken.

The odds never lean

In my favor.

Maybe I deserve it.

Distance

You don’t have to get on a plane

Or go far away

To make someone feel distanced

You don’t have to leave the room

Or say see you soon

You could be right next to them

But because of your actions

They still feel alone

Bitter Tears

The bitterest tears that fall

Over the grave of a special someone

Contain all the things

That should have been said

And all the deeds

That should have been done

Broken Optimism

Laughter fills the room
Everyone seems to be enjoying the day
But not him
He is in a corner thinking away
His eyes are focused
He is no longer in this world
He has entered his
Where nothing is ever what it is

Tap him and receive a blank stare
Like he’s looking through you
You can never know how he feels
Do you even know what he has to go through
He thinks about the life he lives
He sees that Live backwards is Evil
Hmm, now what does that say about life?

When you turn things around
They get a different sound
A different meaning
But why can’t he turn around bad
And get good
He would if he could

Look at the pain in his eyes
They tell no lies
They are filled with why’s

Why fall in love only to get your heart broken
Broken into so many different pieces
Pieces that you allow no one else to help mend
Mend back into something that can again love?
Why attempt anything when there is a chance to fail
Fail so horribly that you never again try
Try to get what you can never have
Have to be crazy for making the same mistakes over and over

“Smile, everything will be alright.”
Yea…right
If he could choose
He would never have anything
That he could lose

Life made him
Change from being Optimistic
Now when happiness comes
He rather opt to miss it
