eric's useless thoughts for jan 14, 2009
-they should rerun 'you can't do that on television'
-Seth rogen should do a courtroom drama
-we should start calling phones "the horn" again
-bill nye should do a new show of science experiments for people in thier mid-20's
-they should make a reality show about network execs trying to find ways to make the cheapest reality shows with the biggest returns.
-or a reality show about people obsessed with reality tv. call it 'american idle'

the air is thin

the air is thin
it barely satisfies
I can still taste you
where have you gone

I walk alone
hands in pockets
watching my breath
ghosts in the night

the world is cold
it steals you from me
it doesn't feel
it just keeps going

winter window's

the window pain
so cold to touch
i watch and i wait

the winter cold
it freezes my heart
no hurt can escape

you left in the cold
and as it returns
i hope you will as well

the snow is falling
washing the world
stealing the color

the circle of fog
where i breathe alone
blurs my view

all i see is white
i close my eyes
all i see is you

in the darkness

in the darkness
it shines so dimly
yet light spills
conquering

in a dark world
your heart glows
fights the blackness
with love

midst the doubt
your whisper
calms my heart
with hope

the dark retreats
the light spreads
saving grace
victorious

every winter

every winter
your ghost haunts me

like a cool breeze
it finds it's way to me

it whispers memories
and my heart breaks again

but if winter came without ghosts
it would be unbearably warm

untitled

love will find it's own way
death will take it's own life
hate will eat itself alive
fear will scare itself out

let's take care of ourselves
and the things we can change
for battles were meant to kill
and worry will only steal hope

bottom

is it hard to see me
through the bottom of the glass
it is hard to face things
when your time has passed

there's broken pieces
of your suddenly shattered fate
must be hard to bend
when you can't stand up straight

hitting bottom
was never meant to end there
i'm waiting for you
but i am wondering if you care
