Marble Eyes 03:19
an old cat who just wants to be held like a baby sun through the blinds cold early morning asleep on a pillow content as can be outside the window a crack tears the sky rudely awakened ice blue marble eyes

Candle 04:22
if you stare at the flame are there two flames staring back at you? on and off the shadows dance flickering, quick pulsing twisting with rage all the melting colors scream yellow, orange, white, and blue silencing fear the tallow drips molten heat golden hues, the wick burns true vanishing away darkness is here extinguishes day kills all the light and all shades of gray strike the matchstick set it ablaze don’t blow out the candle don’t put out the flame is it you i’ve seen in the flame? is this reality?, or are you just a dream? i want you to stay

(No) Sleep 03:27
an ode to caffeine why am i so fucking tired my brain is racing and my body feels like shit why can’t i just go to sleep i know it would do me good but oh well i just wanna sleep but my brain won’t let me i’ve tried my best but it won’t leave me be i just wanna sleep but my brain won’t let me i’ve tried my best but we can’t seem to agree why does my brain like to drive so fast one thousand m. p. fucking. h. what if the rest of me just wants a break close my mind, no thoughts at all i just wanna sleep

Snowfall 02:38
drove to work during a snow day why don’t call me in, i wanna stay out it’s snowing today, and i don’t wanna be here in this place, missing half my life the snow’s going to melt if i don’t leave snowfall in my hand snowfall on your head a winter of fear, cold forbidding gray freezes all paths, and blinds the sun’s rays why go to work, it could be the death of me slide on the ice and crash and burn it’s so heavy, the air fills my lungs snow is falling, a rare sight to behold i can’t see where, my world used to be just a storm of raining white
