Dream Me Back
I lay like that — arm above my head, one leg curled in, drowned in the smell of our bedsheet. somehow, I drifted off, and there you were again. I still do this thing where dreams change scenes like home videos. everything happens — we came back to where we wrote the letter with the pen. sorry. I was mean again. I said too much — so you stayed gone for so long. but kiss me...

Look Away
Please look away. Don't stare down the demons behind my eyes. Please don't look at me. Please don't see me. I can't imagine what would happen if we understood. If we looked behind the mask and saw all the pain we've caused; What we did to eachother. Every time you hit me it wasn't the bruises that were the problem....

Forgotten Nostalgia
I’ve tried to fall asleep And forget what we were. What we had doesn’t matter If you’re not here to share the moments. What if I never told you? Would we still be together— Or would our relationship Still fall apart in the storm? Thoughts of you flood my mind, And for some reason, they still hurt. Shouldn’t memories of you make me smile? Why is...

I am skin shaped, in 42 different shades of foolery, a life lover doing my best to avoid an other, but they seem to be everywhere these days. Crawling out from under rocks, or latent in my twisted...

Can’t Let You Go
You left me, Even when I wanted you to stay, And expected me to move on, Within a day. I want to have you back, Yet I want to let you go, Your words hurt me, More than you know. They tell me to move on, Because that’s just how life will go, They have no idea, That I can’t let you go....

The Last Day of Spring
Sping is where it all begins Before the universe came on the scene Then shortly the summer appears And drive out all the fear The mornings were fresh and clean And clean air from far and near Floats gentle on the stream And the ingredients from the sun Soaked my flesh with its heavenly breath And the pipes of sorrow quickly fade away And...
