everything else is shadows


when i think of you

which i always do

this all just seems so meaningless

 

the girl that i miss

never kissed

unless they were stolen kisses

 

it’s been so long

since you inspired the song

that got everybody caring about

what i had to say

 

the dark streets of decay

 
write a volume of poems

sell several copies

get famous

 

but beyond the celebrity

there is just me

 

the guy who spied with his little eye

his only glimpse of happiness

 

then created this long drawn out bullshit

to mask the pain

constant refrain

 

attaching to a philosophy

that decrees

nothing matters

 

i was shattered

in tatters

a vagabond

homeless on love’s avenue

 

everyone misconstrued

thought i viewed

the world through

the eyes of genius

 

on their praise

i couldn’t graze

i wrote metaphors

from my daze

 

i had never been in love

until you glazed

my honey baked ham

 

everything before was a sham

and everything after

a disaster

 

as i tried to replace

the face

with the disgrace

of sampling everything

but nothing tastes

like you
