You stay sweet
You stay kind
You stay with me—your memory—
Entombed inside my mind
You wander out there now
As someone I have never known
I wonder if inside your head
The ghost of who I use to be
Also roams

Listening to the steady rush
As winds blow in an evening hush
Hoping that it ushers in the rain
This place could use some moisture and
I could use a helping hand
In letting nostalgia lay its claim

It's in those slow and lazy moments
Spent inside my head
Scavenging for dopamine
That I find you instead
Scattered into tiny bits
Stashed deep within my mind
The pieces lay from yesterday
As if left for me to find

had I been older I'd've
probably'd've recognized
the hell in your eyes
but I mistook it for love
had I been wiser then
as I ought to have been
I'd've known the sin
of what'd been done

Shattered
broken to bits
I tried to clean up
but I sliced my skin
Scattered
into the fray
I pushed them out
'til they all washed away
Weathered
time's funny like that
the edges have softened
and the waves washed them back
Remembered
as I walk along
colorful and harmless
pressed to my palm

I want to write
to feel all right.
I want to bare my soul.
But I fear I bared it all
a long, long time ago.
I want to write
to feel all right--
to not bear it all alone.
But I am crushed by all I've borne;
There's no more of me to know.

I'll be like the wetlands
I'll take the brunt
When the storm rolls in
Let the flood wash
across
my skin
I know how to survive being drowned
So I'll stand my ground

You profess to know me.
You profess to love me, too.
But you've never put in the time for either,
So I profess that neither's true.

Every time I swear I'm over it,
Something reminds me
I ain't over ****

I wander,
I roam;
someplace far from home.
All on my own.
I ramble,
I wade
through rivers and lakes.
For my own sake.
I venture,
I seek,
though tired and meek,
for something complete.
