03.26.13I know I’ve left it all to wonder / and that’s no one’s fault but mine / because when you think you understand me, I’ve led to a lie

04.04.13.an air of disappointment in the breath before I speak. sorry Im not strong enough to bring this out from underneath. you can see it spelled in black, behind the things that I sing. then lack of explanation, intention and retreat. forgive me, im cryptic, all of this is new. I’m learning how to walk again but I can’t keep up with you. let me lie down, let me sound a smile in your ear. tie it up like puppet strings and pull away my fear. / because the moon carries a fresh terror, and I’m taunted in my sleep. for what i hide from myself, what im faced with in my dreams. an uneven change of pressure in the space under my chest, failing to contain those little broken breaths. / now promises are pennies to me, I melt them for their zinc. can’t take your glassy eyes on me as I’m standing on brink. dark blue sky and last month’s winds, in the air under my palm. you’re in the window ‘cross the street and im half way gone. trembling in fear, desperate screams from two floors down, I’m shaking, making heavy steps, to an awful heaving sound.

breakfast.you make me smile like maple syrup does kindergardeners on a saturday morning / and i don't mind if my fingers get sticky / lets mold cake batter into whatever shape the clouds make

counting triple time never came easy to anxious hearts.I'm sorry that life drives fast, riding the tail of clock hands / and that when you walk up the steps after working those overtime hours, / you need a little bit to yourself, you need a movie in the dark.

december.somewhere far away, among the mountain breeze, / there lies the difference between you and me. / running swift, frantically, up around broken trees,
