the snow was welcome warmthwhen I was tired of my growththe outside is a friendnot a foe as I was always warned gently as it swaysI find myself swaying toocarried by the wind into places once out of view this place froze overI was already so coldfollowing the footprintsthat opened the ice to the dirt […]
Concrete
You said you’d pull me up out of my human shaped hole since I couldn’t do it myselfI think I made it when I crash landedAt least I’m finally on the groundA puddle grew up around meA grey oasis from the skyThrow me away if you want but at least hang me out to dry […]
Say It.
Why don’t you just say it?You’re confusedAnd I get itBut it won’t doIt’s not all in your headIt’s all in your woundsWhy don’t you just say it?You’re confused It’s just me and youIt’s just me and you Why don’t you just say it?I’m a viseSo I’m letting goIt’s your lifeEvery couple of monthsYou can call […]
The Honey Blues
Relax when they’re impressedAnd worry about making statementsThat no ones looking forLike cracks in the stairs of your front porch Let me see you in the lightFeeling loose and brightLet me see you in the lightBare feet, hard tile It’s the honey blues againYou’ve been dancing round the breakfast roomYour eyes chasing lightMoving in and […]
Severing/Tying
I’m standing here, tongue bitten off (I thought you were just kissing me)Choking on my blood trying to talk (I’m making a mess of myself)I thought I was getting somewhere (I was running in place after all)I was running in place after all Don’t you dare pity meFor what you made me becomeI won’t be […]
Dance
Now we can dance in the streetsThe lights have come onWe can dance in the parking lots while everyone calls their moms Last danceUnderneath the umbrellasCalling the shotsCalling shotgunCalling your favorite friendsTo take you homeWhere the doors will be locked We can dance along the wayI’ve been trying to find a phoneWe all know you […]
Everyone, Everything
The mountainsThey swallowed you wholeThe streetlightsThey beckon you homeAnd maybe I’ll find your noteBuried beneath your old clothesI left on the porch light for youI’ll need to change the bulb soon I don’t know what happened to youOr when you’ll come back to meI’m feeling like I’m gonna loseEveryone, everythingPermanently The lakesThey dragged you underneathThe […]
Sucker’s Luck
I slept on the pierWoke up in the waterHeard kids callingShark fodder My pockets were emptyWhat could they wantWith jawbreaker wrappersAnd sticks from lollypops Is this a joke?Is this a joke or just sucker’s luck? I washed my bikeIn my drivewayThe boys were shootingSpitballs my wayI decidedTo go for a rideBut they caught up with […]
Statue of You
It’s the virtue of foolsTo be the first to believe the truthTo keep it in their head alongside lies their tellers didn’t think throughBut I’m no foolI’m just a skeptic with a statue of you It’s the pinning of the wings of a flightless birdLeaving its legs free to runTo remind the poor thing of […]
Grow
I watched you sink down to where mankind has not exploredI’ve seen you float above the waves like you weren’t even tryingThings might get better for you but it won’t be anytime soonWe all grow older and learn to deal with what we do I saw you held so high on hands perfectly cleanAnd when […]
