I wish that I could slither out of my skin
Drop it on the floor like a soaked through towel
Used to wipe all the blood of the innocent from my hands
Free myself
Unbound
Unchained
Let go.
Not a giver
Not a lover
Not a fighter
Freedom from the every day
Let go of the past
Regrets
Frets
Let it all wash away in the tidal wave
No loyalty
No dogged plea
Just a person from here to there
Anywhere but here.

Falling through layers
Clouds and colors brushing
Past the flashing lights
Freedom filling all of me
A fire lit within
Embraced by the concrete hands
My final sin

If longing gave me dollars, darling
I'd be a billionaire
I'd fly across the universe
Just to meet you there

I took this fragile box of glass and put it on a stand
And hoped and thought and cried for it to cross to different lands
It jumped and shook and trembled to life like a beast trapped in the sands
Finally with kit gloved care my heart was in your hands

You stick a needle in my arm
The other end a fountain pen
And I would bleed myself dry
Trying to find the perfect words
To calm the thrashing in my soul
A million memories in one last breath
On my lips would be a name in sin

I would rather drink these glass shards of truth
Than tea sweetened with honey full of lies

My lungs inhale and with every breath I know
In this garden of life thick with fragrant distraction
Shadows follow and brightness fades
Light in my soul will illuminate the way
Down to the darkened forest floor
If you turn your back and lose your path
In the thick of it
Let the flame in my heart guide you
Through the rose bush brambles abundant with longing
Back down to the cool healing of this burning ocean of desire

I feel your fingers trace gently
The shape of my heart
Every time a new piece of art
In my mind a permanent etching of love that is shared
Framed in my soul
An eternity paired

Equidistant
Suspended animation
Caught between
Living in a dream
Not quite in your heart
Not shut out
Your gravity has pulled me in
I can't go now
Lock to my heart
On the ocean floor
Flooded with wonder
I have to know
Watching light seep into my world
A million songs couldn't contain
Words in my heart that I need to explain
Darkness coming
Quickly now
Pull me in
Cast me out

Soft and slow
Hard and fast
I fell for you
In future in past
Distance between
Inches apart
Breath to breath
Heart to heart
Silly nicknames
Lyrics sent
Secrets shared
All of it meant
Soul to soul
Laugh for laugh
My life is changed
I won't take it back
