Confessions

by Justin Groft   May 16, 2005


Forgive me father, for i have sinned
Ive made up my whole life
outside your hand
its been a blessing
since my last confession
yet i cant seem to understand
why I'm in love with life,
and still so intent
to smoke away these last days
i have left
to say I'm in love is
an understatement
i grab onto it with my hands,
and release in time
your breath feeds my warmth,
and this knife
is all i need to fix
what i cant describe
if i said i love you,
would you look away
or hold me as if we were
going down with the ship today
i want to bleed these lies to a god
but I'm afraid of what
strangers would say
he doesn't want to seem
feed the conversation
i miss my dog, in all,
i miss my Nana
and i want to join them
as soon as i can
but i want to live to be an old man
and enjoy what i cant enjoy now
perhaps one day ill jump
and call it where i land
or maybe ill just stay here with you
forever trapped in times
Ive barely seen
ring around the rosie,
pocket full of posies
we all fall down, and none of us come back around
its too bad flying is so hard to do
id pick you up on my way down
sneak you across the border
in this cloud i submit
and never leave your side
f**k all of your auspicious eyes
I'm a child, and i wont lose this fight to choosing sides
