Blue Horizon

i'm chasing a blue horizon
in fleeting moments of a fresh dawn


searching for acceptance
hiding somewhere in the corn fields


the clouds are looking promising
swimming between silver grain silos


in a sea of farms my indifferent thoughts catch
only on the wooden telephone poles


gravel road beneath my feet tempting
if i run fast enough
i could disappear in the blue horizon

Release

whats interesting about giving up
is that it is my fault,
my choice to stop putting in the effort
to make things better.
i allow myself to have this
fictitious sense of control.
because what else am i 
supposed to do?
what happens when what i have to give,
who i am
is not good enough?

Let It Drain

words are running around my brain

what would you say if i let them drain

what would you do

if i let it all loose

and tell you what's been on my chest

is it worth it to be free of this weight

trading my silence for your friendship

would you look me in the eyes

and tell me to get out of your sight

or would you hold me tight

and whisper everything will be alright

Out of Reach

it's out of my reach

it slipped through my fingers

it's on the tip of my tongue

it's buried under my thoughts

just out of sight

was it purpose, light?

I can't remember

maybe if i lay in bed

through another afternoon

it'll find its way back

Forgotten Prairie

this forgotten prairie
surrounded by forgotten faces
has grown roots around my feet
trapping me under the silent sun

my blood runs green
gazing at the birds high above
watching them leave this withering land
they taught me how to fly
but I'm buried in this sand

I wish I could run
I wish I would scream
but nobody can hear me
not even in my dreams

it's no use
this land laid claim to me
life goes on without me
she left me behind
she didn't notice when
my feet caught in the wild grass

it shouldn't make me so upset
for where would I go
who would listen
nobody
because I have a forgotten prairie in me

Lost Girl

with half a home, broken girl
you live your life in two

your feet will always roam, tired girl
with a definition of happiness so misconstrued

always giving, selfless girl
how long till you run dry?

perpetually smiling, bluffing girl
will anyone realize it's a lie?

Maybe Love

love
such a finicky feeling
a feeling
a fleeting emotion
infinite definitions
with cruel subjectivity
maybe i did
maybe i didn't
why does it matter
my answer wouldn't change your feelings regardless
how can four letters hold such power
to steal you from my life
love 
i don't know what it means
i don't know what it looks like
love
like a friend or something more
something you didn't want
all-consuming adoration
i just want what is best for you
maybe that's the same thing
maybe i never did
it doesn't matter anyways
when i'm confronted with your
stilted conversation and guarded eyes
love
pains twin flame
my melancholy gaze
trained on your tight lipped smile
this wasn't how it was supposed to go
my love

Sick Too

i once knew a girl whose mom got sick.
she'd sleep the days away, laying in the dark.
perpetually tired, "maybe next time" was the distant sigh.
her mom would forget things easily
and could often be found 
with red tear stains on her pale face.
they lived in a midnight home.
the girl didn't understand the sudden change in mood,
but she had a problem:
the night didn't stop at the frame of her mother's bedroom,
it bled into the foundation of the house.
One afternoon the shadows found her in the hallway,
and so I wasn't surprised when I heard the girl got sick too.

A Thousand Ways

a thousand ways
i imagined how i'd tell you
underneath the covers spoken softly
offhandedly on the roof with the stars as witness
swimming in the lake with my courage warmed by sand
through a letter i've spent weeks pouring over
a thousand ways i've imagined
a thousand dreams i've let myself have
dreams locked in my head
because my heart is speechless in confusion
how can i explain to you
what i do not know myself

a thousand ways

but this was never one

Her Gorgeous Eyes

she hates her eyes
cause they're not light and bright
like others cornflower blue
yet to disdain such pure beauty
you would be a fool

i don't understand how
she can feel that way
towards these eyes that
demand all my attention
if she'd listen i'd sing praises
of their dark hues
but she hates her eyes
i could never do them justice
so maybe it's better this way
how could i find such words
when i'm overwhelmed as our gazes meet
wondering how their earthen hues 
can hold such warmth

i adore her gorgeous eyes
that i'm not worthy to see look back
at me with such fondness
I adore her gorgeous eyes
that i've seen drowned in tears
overflowing with sorrow
i adore her gorgeous eyes
that i've seen darkened in anger
and sparking with intensity
I adore her gorgeous eyes
that i've seen soft and hazed
from lingering dreams

i get lost in her eyes
the ones i've made my home
treasuring every second they look my way
this is why it breaks my heart
when she says she hates her eyes
cause others may have eyes
the color of the sky
but her brown eyes are the reason 
im not alone
