When the time comes, I’ll be in your arms We’ll drive by neighborhoods and farms Stopping in this crazy haze The night sky before our eyes We look about in such a daze Brightness falls down to the horizon and dies The sweet smell of the summer air Tickles our noses and lulls us to sleep As I run my fingers through your hair We dream of a little home on a hill so steep

Dream of the days ahead
I sent your gift through soap and suds Looks battered and short shrift The smile on your face The sureness of your grace While I was throwing duds I dropped a pendant, a symbol of trust Still pondering where it might have went You seem disappointed Though not afflicted As I sat there and cussed I broke a picture frame, Shattered the glass As I hid away, and in you came A long pause and awe Your open-wide jaw I felt like such a ******* You take pity on me nonetheless and shrug it off You say, “It’s okay” As others stand around to scoff While you relieve the distress of my dismay What a person, so loving That is why I hold them so close Everyone else, pushing and shoving When I was the one you chose

Doesn’t matter
Wish there was a way, A way to be my best. So I need not repay, For my garbled mind To feel less of a pest. Wish this uncertainty An annoyance within My undeceive mind Will straighten out and bind. So I can then be normal. Or pretend at least. Where I fall short in morale I make up for in spurts of joy, My confusion deceased. Though it still lurks inside. Wish I were me Not some depressed eyesore Trying to be That person you so much adore

Wish I were me
Wherever you may be I never forget what you’ve done for me I long to talk I long to listen While our feet walk And far away lights glisten Distance I thought, Brought strength to us both Are we ignoring the pain it’s brought The problems it’s caused, that still loath? These feelings have hacked away at your life I feel sorry, to put you through so much Aches similar to stabs with a kitchen knife How long will you put up with me, In such a way one would a crutch Why Still you hang on Am I worth the trouble? Worth the sorrow and effort to keep? A feeling as if I where in a bubble, Held by others, while we hide and weep? Time with you is like no other, Though it’s such a pain to see Us separated by father and mother I must be too close, clingy While I stare across the room at your beautiful face Unable to show my true feelings locked up within my head I’m hoping our bonds are still held tight, like that of my shoelace Wishing these low feelings away, and re-enforcing the thread   The current of affection and understanding still flows Through such a great dam Though I wish to see you always Talk with you always Learn from you always As close as I am

As close as I am
A morning to wake up to An evening to remember A night sky full of gray and blue In the pitch, still warmth of an ember If there ever was such a sight Let it be seen tonight While I stand next to you, And see the day through Under a glow in the clouds In the sea yonder Lights shine from above Figures you may ponder These sights, We’re in awe of Staring so far out Over the hills, Are bright cities, Free of drought As a low mass fills The weatherman pities Floating puffs of smoke engulf the light But can still be seen, pale and white Bubbling creatures crowd the air space Moving along at an even pace Live continues Unaffected This beautiful thing Masked from others by sleep By distractions and shrouds, Can be a simple beauty nonetheless A pretty little glow in the clouds

Glow in the clouds
I don’t see your reason to play Is there something you know that I do not? Things I tell you are given away, Much like I did and left them to rot When things are seen through a monocle Not two, not a pair The acts I’ve committed are still canonical As these clothes, You do not wear! So I anger when the truth is diluted An answer it seems, must be reputed While wrongness and hurt Plant seeds in the dirt, For trust between us feels polluted…

To make sense of it all
There are voices in my head They’re always there, determining the steps I take They tell me when to get up or go to bed When I should drown my mind of brimming expressions, Or to think upon the day ahead of me and wake Sometimes they call to me Many times, I call for them Yet I know not to agree For these voices, They do not sew the hem They let out the very feelings I try to keep in I must escape, whether right or wrong To find the way without my newfound brethren Leave me, forever long I do not need you These voices of mine Creating faces so blue And feelings held in brine

Voices
The things I do The ways I try The chances I blew All these failures I feel like I wanna die “Little” …true Though how many is too much How many chances do I get? Till it’s all over and I’m lost without you?

I'm not perfect
I’m absolutely flustered when I think of your face I just can’t stand remembering the laughs we share I’m in unbearable pain when I reminisce how fast my heart would race It’s crazy how quick I tire of dwelling upon the amount we care However, there is one thing… A thing I’ll never be sick of, and this is true As long as your there for me As long as a fire’s still burning I’ll never be sick of you

Things I tire of...
Oh the way our minds work In such collaboration, appear so much alike A place of compassion and understanding, pains lurk The bitter aftertaste to a joy no one appears to dislike And while these pains burn inside They burn inside us both After enduring so much for that we cried The bonds between us are sound, Like that of a strong oath Oh the way our minds work They capture every moment, All that you’ve been happy for And leave your heart open, just waiting for more
