MILESTONES - 5.19.2003

I feel empty, again.

Life has passed me by
While I, in my daydream of nothing,
Stopped the movement of time
In a split second.
My heart in a ziplock bag
Resting in my hip pocket
I watched the world spin away
In a matter of minutes.

I never stopped living

But I\'m afraid to face the
World I have cursed, the people
I have hurt and the places
I can no longer go
As well as the reflections I see
When I pass by the tall buildings downtown,
Mirroring glass walls.
I wake up to the same dream every morning
I\'m falling again.

I\'ve fallen this time.

My thoughts played games
While I lifted my heart from
Its ziplock safety net
And pelted it at a passing car.
I knew for a while it would shower
The windows in red
In parts of me, for just a few miles
Then get wiped away like rain
By the windsheild wipers.

I sat in the gutter watching
The acid rain fill the sewers with my dreams
I knew that they were pointless.
Feeling nothing short of junvenile
For feeling what I did, what I do,
I reached down and picked up the last peice
Hardly an orange peel
Of my heart
And replaced it into its plastic paradise
Where it has to grow again.

Healing takes time but I\'ll be alright in the end.
I feel so fucking angsty right now.
