you were right. in this thickened swamp, we wade for the longest time. its hard not to feel this way. its like my body begins taking root in an all to familiar room. letting my leaves die from isolation between myself and this comforting terrain. there are much bigger things to worry for. but, who would want to wait for them? id push and id pull just to hear you say my name so loud and have it resonate far below in a landscape to repeat itself in black and white and before my time. they'd say its not possible but i still repeat repeat. id grab and gasp for air. its gotta mean more for me. this means everything . like something came over me. i ran away willingly

i am just your neighbor theres nothing more to say than that could it keep me from falling off, december? could it keep me from ever... coming back? will i stop these walls from spinning? will the wind stop pushing back? are we all some sort of magnets? will you and i ever react? the world will see you for who you are. a jester about your own design. and finally, they will sing i identify with him. and if this is impending doom, how will you make it out this time? and i will be there to sing, i identify with him. will i ever be someone? will i ever be that someone? will that someone move around? noises off. will i have room to change? am i falling for the sunlight on my ceiling? is this all that remains? is this impending doom? i am just a lonely pair of eyes with clouds between you and i. and if the world were to cross out my name id scream back, "nothing will ever turn me away." but i still long for the courage, though ill never make it out this time. and if this is impending doom, im convinced you'll find me. find me. a lonely pair of eyes. facing a glass eye and breaking. and if this is impending doom, they should choose to turn away. now my own heart, has left without me. and i cant find it. and the whole world, is laughing at me. and i cant fight back. the world will sing of me. dont turn away from what you see it will be hard at first, but i'll be king of daytime reflections and fiction so now, nothing can keep us away if this is impending doom, you should all be ashamed. if this is impending doom, you should all feel so bad. (if this is impending doom, you'll never make it out this time if this is impending doom, id identify with him.) a lonely pair of eyes. to separate this body. you'll all have to learn, somehow.

whats sad is ill be forced to read this book forever. but the upside is my version has a better ending. if only you could see what I'm reading. if only you could read what I'm seeing. in my mind, we're all better beings for this. if i could climb from the depths of this concluding lens. and become tangible again. I'd pause. its hard to say if this really it its hard to say thats this is everyone I've ever known its best that im to keep a firm grip for them for them. but, they didn't bother to extend their hands at all they didn't bother to break through to me. since light would bend I'd fail to mend this deaf ear to the ever waking world that crushed whom you swore, regardless, would love (you). hope is the rope pulling me to you. and love is the rope that keeps you here. at some point, you'll quit singing this song. ill vanish piece by piece. you were somewhere else where the conscious seemed dormant (but) i was by myself again i was apart. you were gone before i could free up the current. before the sky could dilate again. may these sailing winds shine on you. may it guide you your way home. may the north star point you straight ahead heading straight forward. its the strength i love that surrounds us now. because he's leaving he is spreading. everywhere. to everyone. your world is flat now like the river bed. some things will never bend and you're better off. you're better off you're better off i wanna see you smile for always. a continuum in this conduit. you're better off. from the depths of these dreams ill climb up for you. till your bones meet your flesh again, ill sing this song.
