when you're off to another state
to a place where i can't see
winding up and down the boulevard
and working on your dreams
spare a thought for me, my love
picture slanted eyes and curls
keep me on your mind as i
wait on edge for your return

daydream dances
sideward glances
sipping from his mug
pensive eyes
muted sighs
absentminded shrugs
heavy drinker
over thinker
bizarre state of mind
across the table
sitting, staring
wishing he was mine

he liked to travel
around the world
pack up his things
leave without a word
through countries and seas
and blue skies above
see unfamiliar faces
and glimpses of love
over bridges, through canyons
i can sure guarantee
there isn’t a corner
he’d not wish to see
the storms be ******
along with heat and dust
there's not a known remedy
for his wanderlust
yet of all the crowded cities
and squares of empty space
being with me just isn’t
his favourite place

i am here
in a cramped classroom
with my earphones on
and you at the back of my mind
the AC is too cold
and i'm sitting next to acquaintances i will never want to get to know
a pile of books under my chair
my bag slung over the seat in front of me
and 'i miss you' at the tip of my tongue
but these hallways aren't enough to echo them all the way to you
and there you are
one floor down
on the other side of the building
a smile on your face
and anything but me on your mind
laughing with people you've already gotten along with
your new friends
a pile of books under your chair
your bag slung over the seat in front of you
and a goodbye that doesn't have to leave your lips
because i don't need to hear one to know you're gone

i sat one summer afternoon
my mind boggled by a question
if everything was bound to end,
what made love an exception?

He went with the tides
And changed with the seasons
I loved him the right way
For all the wrong reasons

our lips sealed shut
our gaze, averted
no, your words never left a scar
your silence did

You liked grey
and I liked green.
We clashed in more ways than one.
We were soldiers.
Your eyes were bullets.
My heart was a loaded gun.
Day and night,
relentless battles,
drenched in our cold sweat.
Bruised and wounded,
the blood I’ve shed
tastes bitter with regret.
When you shot through my chest,
I’ll be honest,
the pain was hard to ignore.
I didn’t even need to tell you
that love was the war.

Let me go
Let me go because I am not the same anymore
Let me go because we are not the same anymore
Don't ask me to fix bridges
Don't ask me to do stitches
And try not looking at the old pictures
And try not thinking of our lost scriptures
Be good to yourself
Be kind to yourself
You will be alright
You will be fine
It's a brand new day tomorrow
It's a new chance to clear the sorrow
Have patience
Have courage
Let me go
Let us go

I saw you in the tempest
that raged over the trees
I heard you in the silence
screaming through the breeze
I found you in the ripples
on the surface of the sea
You were all the chaos I hoped for
And everything I couldn't keep
