Dark Inversed

My ceiling was gone,

Instead I saw clouds.

My milk wasn't milk,

Instead I tasted vanilla.

Sugar wasn't sweet,

Instead I tasted salt.

Cows didn't moo,

Instead they clucked like chickens.

Doves weren't tiny,

Instead they grew into swans.

Strangers didn't shy,

Instead they had weddings.

Rivals didn't fight,

Instead they waved the truce flag.

If I'm dreaming,

Angels, let me be,

I'd rather stay in this slumber,

Than wake to my dark world.

The Easy Kind of Love

Love?
Sure.
I got love.
I love apple pies, burgers and pro-d days.
Friends, lovers and relationships,
Only bring stress and wrinkles to my face.
My wallet's always empty,
And I'm always so hungry.
She thinks it's so cute,
When she takes my food,
WITHOUT my permission.
It takes a certain kind of strength,
To not scream out at the top of my lungs.
Instead to smile and offer her more.
Every McD Fry she's ever taken,
Was a jab to my heart,
Every sip of my Root Beer,
Was a kick to my gut.
She phones just to tell me,
"Dear, my stomach hurts..."
Then phones again 5 minutes later,
To tell me she misses me.
Aww, so cute?
It's 3am.
"Do you miss me too honey?"
"Yes of course! Ireallyneedmysleepthoughcanyoupleasestopcalling?"
"What was that?"
"I miss you too! <3"
Love?
I got tons of that.
For apple pies, burgers and pro-d days.

Two Tired

On the last stretch of Moscrop Secondary,

You're taking second naps in the second block of every second day,

Waking up seconds before your next class,

Your life's in disarray.

I know you're tired, so take a breather...

But only for a second man!

It won't be too long 'till you're the second man,

Behind first place and second in the race.

They'll be hitting home runs while you're stuck at second base.

'Less you're down with "2" and staying second place,

Pick yourself up quick and set a second pace,

Keep your balance though, don't trip the second chance,

Sprint against the clock and the ticking second hand,

...too much stress, another second and I'll snap,

take another breather here, and maybe another nap.
