With&lt;br /&gt;enough mystery&lt;br /&gt;around it, that you could&lt;br /&gt;bathe in the misunderstanding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could try to take a slice&lt;br /&gt;try to be the operating operator&lt;br /&gt;but there's&lt;br /&gt;no reason&lt;br /&gt;because she doesn't want&lt;br /&gt;me&lt;br /&gt;of all boys, to save her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something about a&lt;br /&gt;lack of interest,&lt;br /&gt;something about my&lt;br /&gt;green eyes not being&lt;br /&gt;the eyes to meet&lt;br /&gt;with hers and see&lt;br /&gt;forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what's the use, when&lt;br /&gt;right now I could die&lt;br /&gt;for something beautiful&lt;br /&gt;but beauty has no time&lt;br /&gt;for me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Life is hard&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stumbling blindly&lt;br /&gt;around his room&lt;br /&gt;the boy found himself&lt;br /&gt;a slave to the pin light&lt;br /&gt;hole that was the light&lt;br /&gt;of his cellular phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would it ring, would&lt;br /&gt;she still care, would it ring&lt;br /&gt;it drove him mad. Hour upon&lt;br /&gt;hour stacking above his head&lt;br /&gt;the thought of defeat weighted&lt;br /&gt;his body down, until he was sure&lt;br /&gt;he was sinking in the&lt;br /&gt;carpeted floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was obvious this one was&lt;br /&gt;not right, the one before that&lt;br /&gt;nor the one before that.&lt;br /&gt;it was an endless cycle of let&lt;br /&gt;down and while he was sure&lt;br /&gt;one day, he could get&lt;br /&gt;it right the wait and anticipation&lt;br /&gt;of another letdown&lt;br /&gt;was the worst pain&lt;br /&gt;he knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still he love it, the let down&lt;br /&gt;the buildup and breaking&lt;br /&gt;of all his dreams was&lt;br /&gt;something he knew would&lt;br /&gt;either make him stronger&lt;br /&gt;or lead him to a cold&lt;br /&gt;distant death alone with&lt;br /&gt;out any idea of the love&lt;br /&gt;he was capable of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He would never admit&lt;br /&gt;that he loved it though,&lt;br /&gt;for he never took the&lt;br /&gt;time to understand his&lt;br /&gt;disease. The aching heart&lt;br /&gt;inside his chest. round and&lt;br /&gt;full it waited patiently like&lt;br /&gt;a dog waiting for a master&lt;br /&gt;that would never come home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shaken by the way things&lt;br /&gt;had a way to always repeat&lt;br /&gt;themselves, like a tape loop&lt;br /&gt;marathon of golden girls. he&lt;br /&gt;found himself breaking apart&lt;br /&gt;in a state of denial and disbelief&lt;br /&gt;one day he would shine, screaming&lt;br /&gt;at the blank walls that danced with&lt;br /&gt;shadows. There was never&lt;br /&gt;an answer back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a unbalanced rage&lt;br /&gt;he could do only one thing&lt;br /&gt;to stop himself from completely&lt;br /&gt;losing control.

He is short of&lt;br /&gt;breath, short of time.&lt;br /&gt;He is becoming rapidly&lt;br /&gt;remorseful. while she&lt;br /&gt;loses track of time.&lt;br /&gt;This is a victimless&lt;br /&gt;crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The music box angel&lt;br /&gt;dances in circles&lt;br /&gt;and the lights&lt;br /&gt;flicker&lt;br /&gt;in the stale city air.&lt;br /&gt;It was an awful sight&lt;br /&gt;and puppets play&lt;br /&gt;an orchestrated&lt;br /&gt;sitcom theme song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then much to the boys&lt;br /&gt;delight, The building&lt;br /&gt;collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Misread&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His breath stunk.

His misshapen&lt;br /&gt;sloppy hair and his partially&lt;br /&gt;untucked dress shirt. He reeked&lt;br /&gt;of whiskey and deceit. He smiled&lt;br /&gt;at her and said in a convincing tone.&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, I have a hell of a story for you..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Pretend, Pretend&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our hearts are the backdrops&lt;br /&gt;to this putrid play&lt;br /&gt;preformed on stage. The&lt;br /&gt;actors unenthusiastically act&lt;br /&gt;the parts of two now&lt;br /&gt;distant lovers. Loving lying&lt;br /&gt;and leaving, Clichés that&lt;br /&gt;they didn't bother to&lt;br /&gt;explain. The speech has been&lt;br /&gt;skipped and in its place&lt;br /&gt;the two try to portray thought&lt;br /&gt;through stares. Eventually&lt;br /&gt;they both fall to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;Victims of something like a&lt;br /&gt;heart attack.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Bones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I buckle and falter.&lt;br /&gt;We live and die&lt;br /&gt;but we can't see past&lt;br /&gt;the basic differences.&lt;br /&gt;Past aesthetics were all&lt;br /&gt;the same. Carbon on&lt;br /&gt;brittle frames of bone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We dictate to each&lt;br /&gt;other who lives or&lt;br /&gt;dies. We are hypocrites&lt;br /&gt;to tag each life with&lt;br /&gt;a different cost. We&lt;br /&gt;pretend to be gods&lt;br /&gt;while the skeletons in&lt;br /&gt;our closets scream and&lt;br /&gt;scratch at closed doors&lt;br /&gt;in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see you and I&lt;br /&gt;are very&lt;br /&gt;similar to those&lt;br /&gt;skeletons. We pretend&lt;br /&gt;to be invincible but we&lt;br /&gt;are really just alone&lt;br /&gt;and scared feeling&lt;br /&gt;around in the dark.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;We take our time&lt;br /&gt;one step after another&lt;br /&gt;we walk in straight lines&lt;br /&gt;because we are told&lt;br /&gt;that its what we are&lt;br /&gt;meant to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We cant look in each other's&lt;br /&gt;eyes,&lt;br /&gt;I want to see your eyes so bad.&lt;br /&gt;Dive into them, kiss the&lt;br /&gt;color&lt;br /&gt;to remind me that I was&lt;br /&gt;once there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind&lt;br /&gt;whispers and entangles her,&lt;br /&gt;He runs his fingers&lt;br /&gt;along her bare skin,&lt;br /&gt;and I wish I was&lt;br /&gt;him,&lt;br /&gt;Oh! I wish I Wish,&lt;br /&gt;but I am not. And the&lt;br /&gt;wind speaks for the both&lt;br /&gt;of us, reminding that she is finally&lt;br /&gt;asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't take these&lt;br /&gt;tremors; they are&lt;br /&gt;caused from a constant&lt;br /&gt;denial of the truth.&lt;br /&gt;Self inflicted like the&lt;br /&gt;Tears&lt;br /&gt;in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to dance, but&lt;br /&gt;she is more than weary.&lt;br /&gt;And she tip toes&lt;br /&gt;around the&lt;br /&gt;downstairs furniture,&lt;br /&gt;twisting in fabric&lt;br /&gt;that she dyes and&lt;br /&gt;sews and she wraps&lt;br /&gt;herself up in.

"We&lt;br /&gt;are helpless against&lt;br /&gt;fate." She says.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Loss of sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Report the loss&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;Commander please&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;don't grieve at the &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;p class="blogcontent" face="times new roman"&gt;outcome.
