Before the ship sailed
I looked at him
and said
"love is dead"
he dried my stromy eyes
licked the salt from my skin
and said
"love is not dead, it just skipped a beat"
-Something I will never forget

When you play your guitar, I was entranced by your mysterious melody.
Your calloused fingers,
Plucked and caressed,
the copper string of your old mahogany guitar, Ibanez.
The one you had since you were a child,
The one you were now playing for me on the dew drop grass of this frigid 4th of July night.
Gentle tremors shake my heartstrings.
I watch you so closely.
Watching your face as you play.
You look up at me for a second and what I saw was more beautiful than music.

The clock’s hands slowly caress the numbers
Tick…Tick..Tick
the minute hand eagerly moves to greet the hour hand
it's 11:59 am,
one more minute until they reach perfect unity
it's 12 pm,
in the span of 60 seconds, they separate again
its 12:01pm,
They wait for time to take its course
“12 more hours,” they say

I had a lily heart
pure and passionate
I was gentle
My white petals were fragile and wilted when you touched me
Why did you rip me from my roots?
My severed stem laid limp in a cold ceramic vase
I was a symbol of your dying love and for each petal you picked was followed by
I love you…I love you not

Cracked lips and burning eyes
My skin as hot as the blazing sun
I have cried too much and it has stolen my beauty
My tears quench my dried skin but if not wiped away fast enough they will stain my cheeks and paint a permanent picture of depression

Maybe the problem is I fall too hard and too fast but at this point I am used to getting scrapes on my knees
Though I try to bandage the cuts the blood still seeps through like when I said I loved you

When I looked into your eyes I was put into a trance my soul and yours were completely one
As you smiled it felt like my lips were lifted by magnets and no matter how hard I forced myself to not show you the white of my teeth and pink of my gums I couldn't help it because
The moment I glanced at you the world became out of focus but you my love were in high definition
I can't explain why you made my body tremble and heart race but I didn't care because I had already fallen under your spell

Let's connect not with our souls but through the two bars of service we have
let's not be intimate with our fingers running gently over our bodies but the mindless harsh tapping of disoriented letters
Though we fight and scream words of hate at each other while we are together
Let us post the high points so they can never see the reality behind the screen
But I'll never take my eyes off the screen because I can't stand to look at you anymore

Take off your skin
Let it rest
For you have had a rough day
Wipe off your face
So you may draw a new one on tomorrow
Forget who you are
For tomorrow you will look completely new

Bury me in rose petals so my spirt can remember the sweet softness of your touch
May you walk me down the church isle so I know you will always be by my side through sickness and health
Remind me of our youth by calling me baby
Love me unconditionally and I will love you
