When the Night Calls

1 million things 
run in my head,
The night is too loud
And my head won’t shut it out.
When I look at the screen 
I don’t seem to think 
When I eat the bread
Everything goes away
And when I see his face
I feel safe.
Yet when the night calls my name
I lay there awake
With the voices in my head.
The wind whispers too loud 
And the rain is hard to understand
It’s hard to breath
And sometimes it’s hard to see 
Feeling lost in dreams
Slowly slipping away
Every day I stay

Butterfinger

One who’s smile 
could make flowers grow
Just know
I remember 
The sunrise in your eyes
The sunset in your smile
The most captivating sunset
That will remain in my mind
The purest I’ll remember
The sour with sweets
But desire for one
Which was the oddest of all 
Stranger your smile
For I’m sure it will remain near
For the rest of my years

See

In my sleep
I see the hands that offered help
From a fall that never broke
A smile that always helped

I see the hands that’s used to reach
A smile that caressed my cheek
The smile that never left
Eyes conquering all

I see promises never made
The hands that never held
Food we never shared
The smiles we never made
Even a home that doesn’t exist
The eyes that never met
The dreams we didn’t reach
Leaving scars that never healed

Creep

There’s a shadow in my closet 
That disappears when I smile 
Thriving in my fall 
Resting in my thoughts 
Caressing fears in my sleep 
Look at the mirror 
Creeping in my hair
Change the style 
Creeping in the skirt
Walk to the crowd
Creeping in my shoes 
Let go, I say 
Yet it always returns 
In different ways

The Face On the Wall

The face in the wall
Stares at me all night long.
It’s calm in the morning
And judgeful at night.
It calls in my sleep
And laughs when I cry
Yet I can figure out why it turns when I laugh

The face in the wall
Isn’t so tall
Yet I can’t seem to reach
for it always swipes me off my feet.
While I try to ignore 
how well it’s hollow eyes match mine.

Reality

Muffled screams 
Blurry voices
Heavy doors
Reality or in my head

Tired eyes 
Raspy voices 
A stabbing silence
Reality or in my brain

Heavy thunder
Camouflaged talk
Letting go
Reality or the end 

Muffled screams
Blurry voices
Heavy doors
Reality or...not this again

Our Time

Sleep to forget
Wake for another day
Letting rivers grow
Looking at the feet below
Sounds melt with ease 
Creating a temporary peace 
Yet fingertips burn
For yesterday won’t return 
For there is plenty in the sea
Yet not the one I want to see
Our time was pure 
Yet timing is cruel

Terrain

In the dance between
the moon and grass,
There I stood indifferent 
to the tears in my cheeks.
Once again I fall back
To the terrain
I hadn’t seen in a while

It welcomes me sweetly
While I desperately try to get away
Suffocating my sleep
Sabotaging my breath 
Blurring my gaze 
Slowly 
Becoming home again

To You

What to do 
When my heart begins to quiver 
And my eyes create a river 
Realizing it’s you

Where to look
When your face lingers my way
And your eyes trap my gaze
Knowing you read me like a book 

What to do 
When you turn away
Making it hard to say
The things I trapped that day

What to say 
When my hands begin to shake 
Not knowing how much more I can take 
If I walk your way 

Where to run
If your eyes are no longer mine
And I am no longer fine 
Remembering all the fun
 
Where to hide 
When my hands meet the floor
Behind a far away door
And you’re no long at my side

For the Wind

For the wind
Pull these sheets
Hold my hand and flee
Through the dirt
Through the sea
For I’d gladly jump in board
Offering a hand to adventure 
Through fires 
Bringing life
Bringing death
Jumping houses in despair
Feeling smiles in a fair
Do your rounds
But don’t forget these sheets 
Don’t leave my hand hanging
