more 2000's
morning
the morning trickles
slowly it is light
and you are gone
because leaving is what you do right
early sun pokes at my limbs and i move
i find another comfort and lay with nothing to prove
but on the hour my eyelids lift
and away I am taken from a dazed dreamers drift
my heart is at a resting state of hope
abound
and quickly all my joy plummets to the ground
because I wake to find nothing beside me
and that is okay
but i wake to find nothing around me
and i see nothing in my day
four walls i would die to escape from
only to go outside and see what the outside has become
sunset
What would you do, if I showed you our last summer days?
Would you laugh, would you cry, at the memories we've made?
And I never asked the sunset: "Sunset, will you stay? Forever and a day?"
So I won't ask the same of you
I'll try to forget, the way you wanted me to
And I"ll pray that the next time I close my eyes
The sunset won't still be there
Etched in my mind.
Flying
there seems to be something about flying
that brings a seriousness to me
and I always end up crying
before I get back on my feet
maybe it's because i have nothing to do
but sit and think about where i'm going
and how long its been since i've seen
the people on the other side of me
almost
i still get excited when i hear footsteps outside my door
because i think they might be yours
and then i wonder
why should i give a fuck when you never did
and i look under our old bed
to find the crap that you thought you hid
your good intentions get me going
they could send me to the moon and back
but that comes with knowing
they won't keep us on track
white wash
let is sweep under me
like white wash past my feet
let it disappear from land
like sea foam sinking into sand
let it take me under
swallowed by a wave
so ill never have to wonder
what would have happened if you stayed
i thought we would get married
when i see you briefly i look to see
if there is any emotion left for me
if what i believed all along
was wrong
i am not wrong. not anymore.
you do not feel that deeply
i am the one who is, weeply.
eggs for breakfast
my world cracks open when you come see me
your visits strewn sporadically
an egg spilling out over a hot pan
i just know i'll fry in the end
oh! but to be out of that shell-
and fall briefly, but free-
in those few moments i could tell
you must like falling too, for me
and i know it'll hurt, it'll burn like hell
it'll be over too son, I know it too well,
i'll be blissful and I'll fly
never asking when or why
and out of nothing. nowhere. SPLAT. the end.
I guess you stopped wanting to play pretend
and i'm left wondering
what went wrong, my friend
around you
around you voices boom
well okay it's mostly yours
around you is the rowdiest room
it was quiet there before
around me sparks fly bright
they say, you got spunk in the day girl
ad sass in the night
around me all the mood is light
eyes always smile, lips never tight
but around me around you
and suddenly im just a mute
i can't think of the next thing to say or do
and so i don't
and leave it all up to you
mistakes
SO you slipped up
you choked up
you made a big mistake.
And from this wretched nightmare how you wish you soon will wake
You say that you were blinded
fear forced you off your way
It covered our eyes with piles of lies
Andy you fell for all the gleaming bribes
Ad now you're stuck in big dark pit it seems
But without the uncertainty and blackness of night
you could not see your dreams
There i your tears were slowly manifesting
The power and beauty that await in your destiny.
