Red Light Writing

With hope on my horizon,

and a monkey on my back.

My wanting for success became,

my reason for all of that.

As the heart that pumps your blood,

turns black as the sky, without a sun.

You took my life and I stole it back.

Leave me alone and keep the rest.

You showed me who you are,

by the absence that you left.

So go back on the run,

from the demons you possess.

Black my eyes

Bruise my soul

Remind me what I am,

while you walk me to my hole.

Show me how you’re God

I know where I belong

If the world is in your hand,

than I live inside your palm.

who was late for his world.

So his entire life left in the night.

Being tough is over,

when the wings of love.

Take flight without saying ‘goodbye’.

All for what,

another guy that has yet to see,

your abusive and entitled side?

Fuck you,

just stay gone this time.

Sometimes,

when I wake up,

my cup is half full.

Other days,

I look over,

and it’s half empty.

Today,

when I woke,

I didn’t even look.

The feeling in my gut told me plenty.
