I used to be a messenger 

I used to be a messenger 

Now I am known as vermin or a pest

I used to deliver messages

To battle fields or other countries without a rest

now little children chase me until I fly

abandoned by the system without knowing the reasons why 

Technology usurped my position

I was domesticated with precision 

but now people view me as a flying rat

they have no use for me 

I am redundant 

de funked 

lost my role 

just another useless obsolete creature

in this creature feature film that is life.

Skin Remembers

Scars won’t forget

Living life with habits and daily regrets

I lost you in the sands of time

only your voice remembered

like the days tender sunlit kiss

but my television brain won’t remember this

that it came to an end before it started

and those days are long time departed

the spark in my heart

won’t leave

this aches longing to breathe

but I cannot deceive myself in to thinking

we were anything but just friends

the hour grows late, I just pretend

I can’t send you that last message

that says this ends

because your voice haunts me

you are my tattoo, my scar.
