She had sad eyes. Sad eyes.

She hid them quite well

But he knew her face

With one look he could tell

She had sad eyes holding tears

The tears started to swell

One dropped on her cheek

She whispered, "I feel weak"

He replied, "Child, Its okay

Sometimes we all feel that way"

And she laughed - slow and pained

He could tell her happiness was feigned

Then she looked up with her sad eyes

And quietly said, "Everyone I love...

...dies"

Nine

There is a future beyond this place

of shot glasses and skipped classes

of weed in the halls from ripped waterfalls

of asshole guys and gaps between thighs

of heels and blisters, copped feels and whistlers 

of street fights and crazy nights

of domeless nails and tared scales

of dabheads and unfamiliar beds

of drop outs and lip pouts
 lost souls 

 forgotten goals

blunt wraps

"I'd tap that"

zeds dead

black and red

gpen

peace love zen

Take me back to the time when

we were just innocent children

watching the clouds in the sky

never thinking of getting high

But were older now, you see

And we were taught by Lucy

that there are diamonds in the air

and you can try them if you dare

So embrace these crazy college years

rid yourself of all your fears

and try to make these moments last

 soon these moments will just be the past

so join me and raise a drink

to all the foolish people who think

we're ruining our lives with alcohol and weed

can't wait to watch them watch us succeed

Eight

drugged out child, lying in her bed

X's on her hand and a pounding in her head

everyone remembers everything that she does not

a hangover and pictures are the only things she's got

so close your eyes child, you've had a long night

wake up tomorrow morning, everything will seem alright
