Odd Fast Food Relationship

He doesn’t know my name

Only that I’m here to feed

Yet he greets me with a smile

In this cold world of ours

Thats exactly what I need

How did he know

That I wanted a number 2 with large fries?

He knows exactly what I want

Just by looking in my eyes

Every time I come here

He has that same huge smile

As if I’m some long-lost friend

That he hasn’t seen in a while

This odd fast food relationship

Is as peculiar as it is true

I receive the same welcoming feeling

Whether its dine-in or drive-through

I remember a time

I was a little down

And the place was full of lines

He knew what I was going through

And made everything better

By throwing in a couple of apple pies

This odd fats food relationship

May seem odd

As I put it in writing

But after 25lbs. gained and one friendship made

I wouldn’t change a thing

Cause and Effect

Her smile will always be
my weakness and my strength

Her laughter will always be
my funeral march and my victory song

Her touch will always be
my pain and my comfort

I will always love her
and never

Traces

Her sight gives me a physical reaction.

As if I had just seen a ghost.

Memory and reality all mixed in one to create

The unfortunate conclusion of believing what I saw.

She is like an urban myth.

The product of living fast.

A figment of a broken and faded memory.

Occasionally escaping the confines of the past.

She haunts me for reasons unknown to me.

Every once in a while I hear her cries.

She haunts me for reasons unknown to her.

The ghost I can see with closed eyes.

Released in the comfort of darkness

The things my eyes have seen
The words that have passed through my ears
Created this destructive state
And confirmed my dormant fears

Your smile was the nail in the coffin
I still remember you laying me to rest
Yet your task was not complete
Because I can feel the cavity in my chest

Now I lay in this pinewood prison
Knowing that you got the best of me
Your smile was my last sight
So beautiful, so deadly

As the air begins to thin
The darkness takes control
I willingly accept this fate
Just to escape your hold
