The rain it started tapping, against your glass again, You were fast asleep, counting sheep as you dreamt, These past few weeks you made me realize, the truth behind the stories, Of a woman so beautiful nothing else could matter So here's my heart upon silver platter Just be careful cause its raw, Your eyes are closed, And the neighbors door is still wide open, perhaps a sign of things to come, It's not where you're from or where you've been, All that really matters is the thoughts inside your own head, Will you sink or swim? Will you even jump at all, But on the fall you know you'll only think of her,

Your vagabond skin, Is running far, far away from here And the curves of your face, Draw a map far far away from this landlocked place It seems you've got the road in your blood It seems you've got the road in your blood But I don't really mind, It seems that your one of my kind, One of my kind

Vagabond skin
Flat lands, heart land Home sick, tick tick tick Goes the clock on your life Until your body runs out of room to contain just what you've become And tick tick tick goes the clock of your life, waiting behind walls For some kind of savior A knight in shining armor , or an angel in a sundress Tick tick tick goes the clock of your life as you waste away behind suits and screens, waiting for a raise that never comes, Tick tick tick goes the clock of your life, And your wasting, behind hashtags And false flags, and your waiting, Degrading and slowly sinking, waiting

Tick tick tick
The new kid has moved to town, And it's his first day at a new school , and he's nervous, nervous to play the fool Now he's seen, seen the prettiest girl, he has even seen sitting down the aisle, he can tell that when she woke that morning, she did cry a little, but her bones are something far from brittle, and she is stuck, in the middle of something celestial Lunch time comes, and the boy is too poor to eat, but the apple of his eye is kind, and presents him with a delicious home made treat, the sweetest thing he's ever tasted It's recess now and staring at the sky he realizes no one can control the winds of time, or fate, but they always blow you to the shore

Porcelain pots, and my hair needled into knots, I try and think of better thoughts But ghosts they follow, and they haunt, and they turn my face something gaunt And your traits you do flaunt, With the depth of your angles unseen by most and my brain is burning, like toast,

It was terrible
I haven't Been able to write lately, quite like I once did I began to show you my real self, and to your room you ran and you hid I heard what you were once called, the words you spoke left me appalled So I thought of a new name, the queen of the leaves, and on the edge of your kingdom, The peasants stop, and they stare At the golden crown, woven into your Hair You sell them on tradition, They all leave with a smile And they say "thank you queen, oh thank you queen, I can see why your garden always stays green" A wise wizard approached you one day with a confession He proclaimed he saw you in a lavender induced dream, and it was so wonderful that when we awoke his whole day was already ruined, You responded in a whisper, please fear not, mister...,I'm sorry but I do not know your name

The queen of the leaves
At first I was just a simple stranger, Casting shadows in the dark, And it was hidden from you, The danger And soon we became friends, And the morning summer sun did strike and create a spark, Thinking back I should have probably kept my tongue in check , You were a wreck I could see, a gallant ocean liner, with an engine fire causing the guests to flee But soon After, you were what I thought would be a lover, I could tell you were nothing like anyone other But beneath a blanket I did smother, the morning summer sunlights spark You will now soon be the boss, so that thin line of professional we will never cross Again If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as my friend My resting head beneath your wood is just a passing trend And I won't see you as often sooner then later, but perhaps trampling feet can allow you to see something greater l, Know you won't but, maybe You'll miss me just as much as I know ill miss you and your morning face,

Passing trends(your morning face)
Portions and percentAges potions and false notions Of home Oh my oh my how your plants have grown But I am a sinking stone, inside a princesses beach, and your hand is just out of reach I am sinking, I think

Smaller portions
You can try and keep things balanced, like a scale, upon an even keel But such weight leaves me as bitter as orange peel I guess I'm glad, No one we know Has even read a book, about body language Just hide me in the back of the fridge, forgotten until months past expiration, When I take my exploration , away from your wood, and away from this neighborhood I still longingly look upon your face Your the only one here that knows of my disgrace

Scales and books on body language
So much, **** in the water And on an island, you'd be surprised how quickly, it will take your son and your daughter The harbor master steps down from his throne and screams about how everything he has ever known, is now cold and overgrown There's so much **** in the water We are sheep, and we are prime for slaughter, so please allow me to show you something of disorder
