Ode to Nicholas Hassler
Bleak is the day
Sending me into memories
I’d rather not visit
My soul fills with dejection at the
Echo of your goodbye
You’re gone, but I can’t let find the courage
To let go
And as your van drives away,
I sit and sift through left over
Feelings
And words left unsaid.
Will our limbs tangle again?
Or more accurately,
Will they ever separate?
A love so melancholy
As it is flawed
Your voice cracks on the phone line,
Empty in a gray way
Because the walls you stand behind
Come crashing down
Like my sanity
As I pull the nails out
One
After
Another
Our song emits from the speakers,
Injecting an infinite sadness within me
Like the Ritalin we shared.
Remember the time
When a simple hug
Fooled our peers?
It blinded many
From our inconvenient truth
Where have the years gone?
A silent hum washes over the line,
You cannot find your words.
So you send me a picture
Too bad it was blank.
I’m tired of breathing
It’s all going wrong
Like when we surrendered to despair
Did you stop caring?
I counted the hours
Nine, it’s exact.
You’re too far away from my heart.
God’s laugh in my face
When I ask them to bring me back home
In your arms
Sending me into memories
I’d rather not visit
My soul fills with dejection at the
Echo of your goodbye
You’re gone, but I can’t let find the courage
To let go
And as your van drives away,
I sit and sift through left over
Feelings
And words left unsaid.
Will our limbs tangle again?
Or more accurately,
Will they ever separate?
A love so melancholy
As it is flawed
Your voice cracks on the phone line,
Empty in a gray way
Because the walls you stand behind
Come crashing down
Like my sanity
As I pull the nails out
One
After
Another
Our song emits from the speakers,
Injecting an infinite sadness within me
Like the Ritalin we shared.
Remember the time
When a simple hug
Fooled our peers?
It blinded many
From our inconvenient truth
Where have the years gone?
A silent hum washes over the line,
You cannot find your words.
So you send me a picture
Too bad it was blank.
I’m tired of breathing
It’s all going wrong
Like when we surrendered to despair

Nine, it’s exact.
You’re too far away from my heart.
God’s laugh in my face
When I ask them to bring me back home
In your arms
