With You My Friend (Dedicated to Neftali)
I reached my hand out into the darkness
to guide you to the light
but instead I was pulled into the darkness
with you
I'd rather stay in the darkness with you
than live in the light without you
my heart could never bear the loss of losing you
that's how much I love you
till the bitter end you are my friend
from this day, today, I want you to stay
stay with me my friend, please, don't go away
if we can make it through this storm
we can make it through anything, together
forever we will always be
if we can only see the sunshine through the rain
mourning the loss of my old friend
reminiscing on how things used to be
longing for the good ol' days
I wanna be set free from all the pain
I don't like the rain
till the bitter end you are my friend
from this day, today, I want you to stay
please, stay with me my friend
please, don't ever go away

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
