A Child's Brain- by: unknown forgotten

So is the same when
your eyes dry out from
solemn whiskey nights

Drowned out on the porch
smoking cigarettes and
listening to the jukebox

How far can we run baby,
how far can we go?
Until love takes over control?

The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: They do not fall a little; They crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine.
-Steinbeck

My Friend Glad- by: unknown forgotten

Stand aside Lad, and listen to my mumblings
They start with a story about a young boy named Glad
Now child, don't be confused, Glad was just his name,
That damned little boy was cursed from day one
Lil' Glad was ceaselessly sad to no avail and no end
And that's the story of the poor lil' bastard
From when he was born to when he was dead

You Don't Listen- by: unknown forgotten

And Death is near
He's eating dinner inside the soul across the table
There will be no dessert tonight

Don't tell me after that you didn't know
And certainly don't tell me that you didn't believe it was true
You don't have to, because that's why I told you first

And Yet- by: unknown forgotten

The heart taker
Flesh and all
Dancing bourbon glass on damp grass
Falling leaves and pleasant dreams
Bottles of wine crashing down and splashing
Rampant run reminders of inconsistent memories

I change my mind in a moment and a flash
Decide to run, turn to stop, but merely walk past
Inconclusive and too much stress
When do I get to relax in this mess?

Not so much a mess
More so a test
Able ability or floundering flop
Can I hold up, do I have what it's got?

I've got what it's got
I've got so much, I've got alot
It's over my brow and I'm searching for air
But not enough to worry exactly quite just yet

There's too much good stuff holding me up
Twisting me around in a rather pleasant doll toss
And yet, and yet, and yet
There something I just can't
Something I can't forget
And yet, and yet, something I'll always regret

All I ask is my simple request
Leave me on my own tonight
