it falls away
never built to last
one hangs on
while the other fasts
the words dry up
and disappear
soon, it hasn't been weeks
it's been years

Take off the mask sweetheart
I know who you are
Give me the pills and put the bottle down
Lean on me just for a little while
Listen to my heart beat
And know that I'm alive for you
You're a little distant love
Please don't walk away from me
I know this feels hopeless, but -
Promise me you won't lose faith dear
I hear those screams you think are silent
Take down the wall and let me in
I see your hands are shaking
I understand that you're scared
But just rest your head on my shoulder baby - and I'll chase away those fears
If you'd just let me hold you
I wouldn't have to tell you that everything's going to be alright
You'd feel it
If you'd just look into my eyes
You'd see it
Take off the mask sweetheart
I know who you are
I don't want to watch you fall away from me
Please give me the pills and put the bottle down...

fall away, on writing and words
Form: Haiku
As the years fall away with autumnal ease
Projecting the memories far into the days
Tinged with a sadness that harnessed the breeze,
Blown through the canyons of spirits to raise.
And the eyes cloud and yearn with a faraway sheen
For she who was gentle, beatific and kind,
A feeling of longing for all that has been
And continues to be in the birthday girl mind.
Somewhere lies a place where the sun never sets,
It beckons and calls through the bars of a cage,
Where the past is a mistress paroled of regrets
And we remain children, whatever our age.
