Human Nature:

It's human nature

To look out for the things that hurt us.

Years of evolution 

And natural instinct 

Designed to protect.

But I knew damn well what I was doing

Letting your fingers burn away

At the loose fitting armour of my skin

If it's human nature

To run from things that hurt us

Then tell me why

I let you get so close.

~J.K.M


Hazed Boy:

Going up, coming down

There were moments of clarity in your eyes

Lost only to the haze 

That became more dependable than me.

And the irony is

I only started to get stoned

After you left. 

The difference is,

I don't lose myself to the haze.

But it seems it's all you've got

These days. 

~J.K.M
