American Things are starting to come together, lets hope they stay that way
do you ever feel nostalgic when the wind blows, and you know you've felt that same wind before, only you were looking outside from the living room window, the sun was hanging beneath the clouds, so they were dark, dark grey, and the sky was blue. but not like normal... it was the blue that you can feel in your stomach, catching you off guard, and at that moment I felt disgusted, impatiently waiting for it to go away But as I feel this wind now, I crave to see that sky again

Wind
If only you knew If only you could see the way she cries If only you noticed the pain in her eyes She thinks it’s her fault Tries to make it up to you But you’re just like the rest Put her on a pedestal Then kick it out from under her feet She never saw it coming She starts to crumble She takes a path she never knew was there The light begins to fade and darkness fills the air Something is wrong She is not herself Finally you try to make it right Tell her what she deserves to hear But you can save your breath This girl drank herself to death

If Only You Knew
Engorged with night sky The fire supersaturated your eyes. Warmth cocooned me dizzy as you whispered slowly. My skin lustfully shivered from your deep vibrato. A migration of monarchs erupted in my stomach. Sunlight dimples the floor like the freckles under your eyes. Surging electricity burning, tingling spastic from within. Revolutionizing the way my lungs fill with oxygen. How the blood pulses through the veins in my body. Waves lip grainy sand Making love over and over again, Married to the moon's tide. But my desire is not periodic It incessantly permeates my being. Lucid like soundless motion, Distance blurred what tumbled from your teeth. I knew what your tongue spoke, But I, masqueraded as fool. A breath caught in my cheeks. Bright cauliflower moon hanged over you. I swallowed it all whole, Struck by our elephant fluttering erratic heartbeat. The sky swaddles swollen in sunshine. Clouds soothe mountain peaks. But you drift irrevocably across my atmospheres. “I love you.” So buttery on my tongue, Such a waterfall set at an astounding height. Watch my words pour over the edge, Glistening in the reflection of the wildfire you have lit across my skin. Darling, there is something remarkable in the way stars kiss the blackness Of midnight, endlessly forever. This is you and me.

Saturated
Waiting. Wanting. Hoping. Believing. I tell myself she'll come through, just keep waiting We'll be together soon. But the days go by, and the weeks, then the months Panic sets in. Am I doing something wrong, or am I just not doing anything at all? Talk to me, please, please, give me a sign Do you even care or am I just wasting my time? I've tried to be sincere, I've tried to be kind But what, what, is the key to your mind. Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I'm just not thinking things through Though, one things for certain I'm not giving up on you.

Talk To Me
We glance at each other shortly, waiting for one to start I would say something, but I can't think over my pounding heart Small talk is common, questions are ordinary But where are the conversations, The deep thoughts we keep for each other The detailed explanations The feelings that so precariously hang from our hearts Are we so scared of rejection, that we fall apart Do we become so infatuated with a feeling that we do not dare risk loosing it Or is it all too familiar Giving our feelings up, letting someone play with them Then ripping them out and throwing them on the ground Confide in me, I will not let you down But will you do the same - in this thought, I drown
