Dull the edges

Ultimately, the lights were just too bright
I needed to dull the edges
You used my faults
To absolve yourself
But the blame was spread too thin
And it could not cover us both
I tried to carry enough sorrow
For the both of us
And ultimately drowned
Under the weight
Of it all
But I know
That in your eyes
The fault is mine to own.

True North

Familiarity breeds contempt
and contentment fades
they warned us
we thought we were different
we were young
we were true
we were naive
time plays no favorites
it pulls everyone
toward the eventual
I think we are different
we are young
we are true
we are naive

I have told the truth
while practicality laughed
our time here is short.

creativity
holds the allure of freedom
while hiding its chains

98

I apologize
sometimes I'm a total jerk.
you can't win them all I guess

97

It's through failure's eyes
that we truly see ourselves
scary isn't it?

96

my words hang in air
weighed down by hints of regret
tarnished by whiskey
