you're not what I want
and I'm not what you need
but together in the dark
it's hard to say: "leave."
I called you -
no, you called me.
does it even matter?
does it change anything?
and I often wonder
as we lie here, we two.
what it would be like
to really love you.
but I won't go looking
for something not there.
I'll enjoy tonight -
the smell of your hair.

I can't help but think of you
on quiet nights like this;
as much as my homework needs to be finished
my feelings for you have not diminished.
But for now I sit here alone...
I'll keep on having one-way
conversations, with paper and a pen
with the hope that one day,
I may see you again.
But for now I sit here alone.

I don't dream at night
I have lived a thousand dreams
Named along a spine

You're not what I want
And you're not what I needed.
But still, you are here.

How, ephemeral
Are the moments spent with you -
Lost in azure eyes.

Off in the distance
The sun slowly sinks away
And so ends our day.

The miles slip on by underneath a starry sky
in an unlit countryside; bringing me closer to you.
But time slips by too, and darling I can't shake the feeling
that it seems to be pulling me
farther from you.

I'm sorry mom, and I'm sorry dad
or is it you who should be apologizing to me?
we've all messed up
oh how I wish we could just move on.
The ephemeral tears that glisten on my cheeks
are hidden behind cold steel eyes
and my fragmented heart
is hidden behind miles of anger inside.
I'm sorry brothers, and I'm sorry sister
that I wasn't better to you
for what they did to me
I surely did it too.
Forgive me Father
and help me be better
that I may repair
the ties that i desperately wish I never severed.
Help me to stand tall,
so others may never know
just how easy it is
to make me stumble and fall.

A single candle lights my room
at this early morning hour
flickering softly - chasing away the gloom
beautiful, delicate, a flower.
The stem a glowing ember
growing from an ever-widening pool
petals of red and orange
but an indescribable hue.
A sweet scent fills the air
bringing peace to my mind
this burden that I bare
will surely fade in time.

swaying with the train
with a piece of paper and a pen
your light illuminates the darkness
in the recesses of my brain
and I can't think
of what I used to do
before I ever met you
before I had you
now the summer sun
is sinking in the sky
blacking out the buildings
against a hazy sky
