Unaware

This sadness
Has become legendary
And heavy
I carry it like Atlas
Unable to shrug it off

Love and Circuits

Robot brain and human heart
I seemed to have replaced the wrong part
500 miles away isn't far enough I guess
The circuits burn bright
But the muscles explode
I wake from dreams every morning
Forgetting they are dreams
Wiping you from my sleepy eyes
Putting on the face that I'm supposed to wear
A mask out of season
Do you wear masks too

Mouth Full of Nothing

It would better I think if I felt nothing
Instead of having all this love
Rotting away inside me
Your symphony of silence
Is a masterpiece
Snuggled warm in your bed
Your dreams never turn my way
But my dreams are so haunted
It would be better I think
If I could just stop thinking altogether
Put this tired pen to rest
And quit the writing game
