“Dirty Sheets,” by Gabriel Michaud

Staring deep into my fears

I sulk about another one night stand

Am I more than this? Or is this just who I am?

I like to think I have a lot to offer

But the clock ticks slowly towards the time for me to get off her.

I’ll never understand the celibate man

I promised myself if it’s not the woman I’m going to marry, then I’d keep far away.

Unfortunately my mind starts to stray, when you look at me in that way.

That dress fits you so nice and I can’t help but notice that you’ve done this before.

So have I many times, this is not to boast or boost my ego.

My self reflection helps me let go.

I just want love that is true

Not another fling to get me through

I just wanted to love that is true.

And the saddest part is I know I’ll never have you.

“You Got Your Trophy,” by Gabriel Michaud

I dreamt a dream, that you were a fiend.

A fiend for love. Parading your new lovers around like some sort of trophy.

And you’re so above me. But the menacing thought that love can’t be bought. Takes me right back to the flowers of forget me nots.

I wonder what it’s like to not be alone.

I’d be a hypocrite to say I haven’t had my fair share.

But in this case let’s play truth or dare, because you love so deep, and I wonder how you get sleep.

So I dare you to take a step back, back to when the world wasn’t yours and the creaking on the hardwood floors would bring you solace knowing you’re alone. Peace would enter your mind, just in time for you to say I do what I want. I’ve got everything with or without him.

That could be true

It’s always true

“Rent free Serenity,” by Gabriel Michaud

I remember falling deep into serenity when you said you loved me always knowing that it would end in tragedy.

It’s only a matter of time you got sick of me knowing damn well I’m not who you want me to be.

Relief courses through my veins like nothing I can explain. There’s been more than a few, and the timing and circumstance caught up to you.

The honeymoon period only lasts for so long, but why is the beating in my chest so strong.

It blocks out logical thought, and common sense.

Living in my mind rent free without recompense.

Time spinning on the edge of that final thought, when I know you and I will be forgot.

Like the love of old.

I have no hand to hold.

Rescued from the depths of despair.

Just pretend you care.

Cause we both know where this is going.

We both know what scars we are showing.

“Sunscreen,” by Gabriel Michaud

Your wide eyed gaze cuts through my skin like a sunburn.

My escape from the haunting airwaves can only be found in the depths of the ocean.

To say I’ve been here before is more or less than a notion, that the waves and their motion drug me like some kind of potion.

Forgetting to forget that my peaceful solitude brings genuine bliss, when I yearn for your kiss.

Dreaming about a time when my lack of spine would be considered as kindness instead of weakness.

I stand up for what is right.

I stand up for what is true.

It’s because of this… THAT I’m through with you.

“Seek the Truth,” by Gabriel Michaud

The whole towns laughing at you taking bets on when you’re going to fail.

Just look to the skies and prevail.

It’s no use to scream and wail.

Be a beneficial presence to those you meet.

Count your lucky stars whose shimmer you greet.

The day has come and gone.

Another day will come and go.

But in your heart Know.

That love is all around us.

That love is all around us.

“Sickle Sighting,” by Gabriel Michaud

I followed the voices in my head until I was nearly dead.

Drinking, smoking, and snorting until my eyes were bloodshot red.

Red like a matadors cape…I fall into my escape.

I was the raging bull ready to fight

I stared death right in the eyes and took his sickle away with a grimaced smile.

The time alone caught up to me.

But that was never who I was supposed to be.

Now I drop to a knee and pray for my sanity; while your loving embrace takes over me.

All I have to do is stay alive for one more day

All I have to do is bow my head and pray.

I’ll try to repent for my sins, but this nagging loneliness is where it begins.

You blessed me with a second chance

If I’m too much of a church going man for you to understand, spend a day in hell or locked in a cell.

These hands will never be clean, but at least I can dream of a life worth living knowing I’ll be forgiven.

“I thought you liked me,” by Gabriel Michaud

Time seems to speed up when you’ve got so much to do.

But it slows down when it’s just me and you.

I Breathe in the sunshine of your jumper cable lips kick starting the blood in my veins. Reminding me I’m alive and I’m grateful to be alive.

“Nightmare,” by Gabriel Michaud

Would you trust me if I told you I’m scared.

The vanishing mist of your company was like you were never there.

So what do I scream about in my sleep.

A deafening silence so deep that rings of echoes pouring out into the morning light.

I’m thankful knowing that everything is alright.

But YOU were never there, so why do I even care.

“Rainbow Bridge,” by Gabriel Michaud

Chance

Standing Chest Puffed Out

Swagger of a Strong King Lion

Protecting Sharp Bark

Freckles

Small, Frail, and Skiddish

Nervous Pup Who’s Never Alone

Hides His Head Away

Layla

Brute of a Girl Dog

Snarling Queen, Fierce Night Hunter

Sad Sweet Eyes Of Brown

Pack

Close Pack of Great Friends

Loyal Rivals for the Yard

Group of Loving Mates.

“Aint got nothing better to do,” by Gabriel Michaud

I like to smoke and watch the cars go down the road. Sitting in my chair, the busyness of the street keeps me company. I wonder where everyone is going pretending it’s to somewhere important.

Cruise

Just Cruise

“Riptide,” by Gabriel Michaud

You’re just a drop in the ocean. I’m just a blot from a pen.

Looks like the clouds held the sun captive on my daydream.

We are both trying to win at the rat race we call life forgetting to remind ourselves

I’m just a drop in the ocean, I’m just a blot from the pen.

Looks like the clouds held the sun captive on my day dream.

Slow down and let the peace begin.

Slow down and let the peace begin.

“Me vs the Mirror,” by Gabriel Michaud

Me vs the Mirror

You don’t like me when I’m drinking

You say I’m too wild when I’m drinking

But that got me thinking

You say I’m boring when I’m sober

The lack of booze makes me act older

I’m young enough to realize that I still have my youth

But what’s the use if I’m old enough to realize I wasted my youth

It’s me vs the mirror this time

It’s me vs the mirror this time

The sun hasn’t rose as I step out for a cigarette.

Been up all night hoping that I might do something right.

My coffee is hot and the wind is cold, just enough to hope for the sunshine.

What a great moment to feel, as I take care of my wounds and they begin to heal

Im happy again, grateful for another day.

But it’s too cold to smoke.

When did reality become reality

I called it off this time

The trauma from the old days, haunts my new ways.

Tranquilized by medicine. My mind is calm.

If I lost my creativity because of my empathy, at least I got a paycheck.

“Blind Love,” by Gabriel Michaud

Separate the here, there, and now.

The monsters in my head scream in silence as the blood from my heart sends shocks to my brain

Emotions take over when you are in love.

Logical thought is cast out like an unwanted chess game.

My eyesight keeps you in my frame of vision, and I know now this is just the beginning.

Love can be blind, and it’s the scariest form of hope. That somehow, some way the stars aligned just in time.

I don’t want to feel this way forever, but it’s a tricky endeavor when the mind and the heart aren’t on the same page.

So turn the page cause love can be blind. But don’t you dare worry you soon will find, that all is done, that all is good and right in due time.

I’m happy alone but it sure makes it difficult when you can’t sleep at night.

“Time is always going to pass,” by Gabriel Michaud

Today could be the day I change my rough and rowdy ways.

My temper could get the best of me, but lately I’m filled with nothing but serenity.

Isolate my mind to happier times. Hoping that you smile like I once knew you could. Before the days got long and your time got short.

Short like your patience for me and my misunderstood revelations of how things should be when it comes to you without me.

I’m happy now for the time being, reminiscing about the broken hearts and the wild nights.

I hope my rough and rowdy ways don’t turn you away. I’ve changed for the most part, except this lingering of loneliness in my heart.

Let’s let time pass, but not too fast.

Let’s let time pass, but not too fast.

Smile clouds Smile.

The heavens cry tonight for your angels. The beings watching over your every move. Making sure all is safe and right bringing harmony and peace to your mind. Worry is the misuse imagination. Now imagine you in heaven. Pray for those who love you and those who don’t. Those who you’ll never meet, greet with open arms. Love accordingly and with no limit. The heavens smile tonight, the heavens smile tonight
