Waiting for change

Distant memories feelSo much closer when the timeStops.In a car, bus or trainIt always feels like a BreakFrom lifeEverything else takes so much effortBut right now…I just existTo myself and othersBut there is no need to acknowledge itI know they see me,Because I seeThem.From the opposite seat, through the window reflection,or from the outsideWhere everything…

Lines I didn’t write, from a love I was in

I miss the weight of youWhilst you lay your head upon my shoulderI see you for the first timeI see it when I close my eyesBecause next to me you layI’ll bring you feathersI like it when you enjoy what I do(I lied it was kind of about you)I don’t like to shower alone anymoreTo…

Different door to the same house

I can feel the difference in my knucklesHow they clench around my palmThe knock is harsherAnd new again I’m sure I’ve got the right placeJust come a bit too lateThey’ve changed the lock on the doorBut not the gateI can get into the gardenI can lie beneath the leavesI can look up to my old…

Too much to ask?

Make me dance like the wind does the flowersAnd the breeze does the leavesMake me warm like the sun does the seaMake me cozy like the cushion does the sofaLike the vines do the treesMake me high like the smoke does my headThe powder, my noseThe slates, my bedLike the trees blow the leavesMake me…

Please

You think you could hurt me?Well you didn’t, I swear I didn’t spend nights cryingPryingMyself to piecesLike, why didn’t you care?You think you can break me?I call this character buildingBlocks like Lego Who I amKick it downIve got a new diagramI rebuild myself better each timeYou think you can love me?Try harderPlease

Love

Loving people is scaryI love to much And I love to manyLoving people hurts alot Like letting go of all the rotBandages don’t hurt to put onBut they hurt to pull offSo I just let my wounds bleed and scabAnd I pick them till their numbI pull out my own hair So that I don’t…

Like poison

The droplets fall into my armsLike you once did on my roofThe quiet smashOf breakingThe loud hissOf boiling water on my tongueThe rubber gloves never protected me fromThese kinds of chemicalsThere scent carries infinite milesThe effects last much longer

Was I?

Was I just an after taste?Of liquor and drugsOf last nights mistakesWas I just a lingering smell?Cologne stuck to your sheetsPut under a spellWas I just your walking stick?To help you stumbleAfter you were sickI never picked apart my feelingsI never ask why I chose youI never lost sight of sailing backCame home still loving…

It’s a shame I couldn’t see its light on your face

Will we always seethe same skyat night?If we’re far awaycould it change?It mightBut I’m glad that we sawthe same moon tonightWasn’t it beautiful!Half round, so very brightWasn’t it lovelyTo be sharing the same sight
