Parade

Displayed self satisfaction
Thought we shared
A crack in your smile
Who knew you cared
Can't remember the sound of your moan
A parade of lights all alone
This city used to feel like ours

Spring Snowman

Crumble in
Do your thing
Guilty love
Get no rest
Cry for good
Do your thing
Melt, spring snowman
It's what you do best

Lonely Invitations

Rifts bred of lonely invitations
Tastes of iron and limitations
ringing down the boulevard
Soldiers drop
Fickle relationships feel alive
Turmoil predestined for failure
An injured excitement
Permission for freedom
Like a dog off leash
A finite social comfort
A floral dread trickles down
Hungry separation drives
A division in the night
That could, toss it out
Allow its definition
Whats with inevitability
Its all a lode

Talking to myself again
A sadness unique to who
A deserved solitude
Unequivocal
Shared ringing under lonelinesses umbrella

Rip out my intestines
Dont need them
The worst comes right out of me
Spending life up
But its a good deal with you

Nothing

There is never nothing
Nothing is a farce
In the air, in our minds
Nothing is nowhere
There is always something
Even when we wish for nothing

A flower bed

A flower bed
Where you once lay
Breathe it in
As time floats away
Miss your touch
Wish you would stay
In a flower bed
Where you once lay

Heart-broken-

Flourescent shimmering stain
Purposeful muddied water touch
A multifaceted kissed fabric soaks through
Bleed up the lines towards the heart
Yellow, orange and eventually bursting red
Stretch, higher and higher

Talking to myself again
A sadness unique to now
A deserved solitude
Unequivocal
Shared ringing under lonelinesses umbrella

Do it for you

We
Run through the street
Did I get hit?
No, let's repeat
We
Run through the street
Did you get it?
Under your feet
He
Nothing like me
Nothing like you
Thought I could be
Rent
always feels due
New house new job
Do it for you
Space
always need more
Where will I fall
Same as before
Moon
up in the sky
Least you're still there
After I die

Moon on the Water

Moon on the water
Cant let you see
What becomes of me
Moon shimmers on snow
Too proud to let go
Out of sight, not out of mind
Remember when you were mine

Moon on the water
Cant let you see
What becomes of me
Moon shimmers on snow
Too hurt to let know
Out of sight, not out of mind
Remember when you were mine

Preaching harmonies

Shallow pool
Hairy wall
Rainy day
Rolls stacked tall
Unworthy grave
Where we'd stay
Emotional fool
Uncannily brave

Streams of dreams
Catch a star
New name new car
Lips like wine
We cry at times

Identify
With your cry
Overwhelm
Fill me up,
Throw me down

Proclamation of pain
From a smoking rift lain
No security
Lonely acts the cure of me

Embarrassed mess
Disheveled impress
Like timeout at recess
A ringing duress

It gets dark fast
And it will last
Longer than I thought
Longer than I want

She's Sick

Don't worry child
But worry you do
Don't hurry child
What's through is through
Don't cry child
For what you once knew
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you

She's sick, she's sick,
But it's no flu
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you
She's sick, she's sick,
No love, just ick
She's sick, she's sick
Of you
