You do something to me.
I think you are attainable and still out of reach.
You affect me greatly. You affect me at a chemical level, at the physical... laisse tomber.
The subtlety of words and how I am now lacking in them due to you.
I must have you, I won't have you.
In your lack of interest and willingness to mend,
you've killed my current person.
Now forced, to start again
I fear everything.
Fear itself is a burden, but the emptiness is worse.
Questionable is the future, of there even being a future.
You, completely unaware of the wreaking you've left.
Me, hoping you simply, one day, remember.
Still with you, are my feelings towards love,
my courage, my hope, my self esteem, and I can't reach them.
All this, done so nicely and calmly,
still forever a "good person", I want to hate you,
Need to hate you, but cannot.
Instead I hate everything else.
It's just funny, the pain you bring, without knowing
A great man has fallen.
Now, the rest of us must remember.
We must remember him in his greatness.
Sadly, this cannot be done.
For to remember greatness,
We must think of weakness.
For us to say "this man was great"
We must find one and say "this man was weak".
But to do so,
to do such a thing would tarnish this great man's image.
To think of the great whilst thinking of the weak,
no, this cannot be done.
For this man was great.
Not the great you can buy or become due to fame and fortune.
This man was great from the inside.
This man was strong, not with muscles but with will.
So today, I say goodbye, not only to a great man, b
----------- Insert complaint -----------
Blow your brains out stranger
I wouldn't do that.
Trade in your prized jewel for a buck
I wouldn't do that.
Double - Triple - quadruple cross you
I wouldn't do that.
Break your lifelong piggy bank of hopes and dreams to see the many pieces crumple at my feet
no, I wouldn't do that.
----------- /Insert complaint -----------
Your ease to murder surpasses my displeasure in closing the door on my way out
and as I walk away trying to find a grain of reason in returning, we know none exists.
But my love surpasses all hates logged, so I look from afar where the shrapnel can't reach me.
For no ma
Fat by my own hand
from the habit of eating
blueberry pie
with
strawberry shortcake
Sick by the world
from breathing
in my own home
Dead from birth
from living
Greener are the leaves
just south from great overpass
Sweeter are the women
after barley and cannabis.
Smarter are the wise
from falling all their life.
Longer are the children
from hanging from trees.
And slowly dies the poet, Xtera
the one who always dreams
love is not blind
love is not sold
love is not earned
love isn't sex
it's not sexy
love does not consist of fights
love doesn't make guns
love is not work
love is not fun
love is not television
not advertisements
not cigarettes
you do not make love
you have sex
love can't smile
can't eat
can't sleep
love can't
love is not real
He`s dying
not by pain
not by words
he`s flying
with the bees
and the birds
you`re crying
as you run
from the hazards
he`s dying for
you won`t say a word

From Forth hence,
writing is a bad and evil thing.
Only to be used as a knife to
cut all your best thoughts and concerns
about some poet from montreal.
bored as hell
wish i could just get up and leave.
leave everything behind.
all the critics and liars and users.
and just fly away, alone...
and then when i'm done my fun.
i'd come back for you and you alone.
