I see something
that makes want more,
but I placed my heart in a drawer.
I feel steady
until the ground shifts,
leaving me edgy.
I'm trying to forget the old
and borrow the new.
Everything seems familiar
with you.
Car rides and kisses
and you raise my spirit
even though
my heart was left on the floor

Her words are graceless, soundless
unheard, misunderstood.

She reacts she only way the can
solitude, destitute.

Her mind wants to be known.
Longs to be known.

Romance is all in ones head
It clouds the mind
Fills in the void
What is missing; replaced by hope

I made a bad choice with you
The choice wasn't you
It was anything despite.
I thought you'd stick around;
I hadn't realized until tonight.
She fancies you - and you her.

Mold me, shape me, help me grow.
Start with a root
twist it in a manner that will suit.
Test my foundation
build it up strong.
Stretch my limbs
make them long.
Shower me in light.
Now hear
I finally breathe.
As the wind tickles
listen to me sing.
