The buds of new love, snipped-
as sad a sight as the body of a bee, dead amongst my feet
We should be flying too
through fields of wildflowers
but we were not granted
what we should
as one finds a kindred soul
we may not have eachother

Back to my growlery
white porcelain tomb
last night hammers on me
pecking my lune
Inundated
I am cestus- hewn
illustrated
by full moon
Welting my hands
against wall
the palisade
is built tall
Forced gorged feelings
torch where they hide
weighted tactics
lying beside this great divide
Shiver to a nosedive
I traverse the night
holding dearer
contrite and struggle to overwrite
broken glass, a mirror,
eyes say- though now mute-
with each heave, “et tu brute?”

losing days
and losing time
I'm sleeping in
I'm flying
losing mind
do you mind?
not sleeping right
can't find
time rushing by
nothing seems to heal
too much of a feeling
so I won't feel
rid the keeper, restless sleeper
wound getting more complicated
and deeper

Can't you remember the brontide?
how we tried
to hide
in eachothers embrace
face to face
away from that place
All I want is to be back
let the rafter break
wind so strong
makes the house shake
the good winter
as a soundtrack to us
we could rebuild the truss

Welcome in, there's no one home.
I'm always all alone.
Vacant as the night sky,
but the twinkling is a lie.
The lights are on,
but the warmth is gone.
Like the sun going down behind the hill-
You're always leaving,
'Cas these are spaces you can't fill.

Why are some nights
so sad?
Stuck in the study
of a brown paper bag
Staring out the window
straight to the sky
A stinging, decolourised lullaby

Too busy keeping everyone
together
to see right here
falling apart
I try to rope it tightly
to choke the air out of a knot
but it's slipping & making way
for the dark space
and as it encroaches
waiting
afraid
awake

Threading lines in my mind
Trying so hard to find
Tracing lines on your skin
'til I formulate better words within.
Treading words in my head
They're crawling up my throat to be said
They come out my fingertips
I hope you understand, though not from my lips.
Threading lines through my mind
Trying so hard to find
Tracing paths on your skin,
That I'll find home somewhere within.

I keep pictures of you on my phone,
So I can smile even when I'm alone.
Reliving the past may not be healthy,
But I want it to last.
I feel cold without you here,
I'm darker inside without you, I fear.
Together- We are not contrived,
You make me feel alive.

Your heartbeat is my favourite song,
I sing it all day.
I want you to be my little rose,
We grew where we lay.
I'm the lions tooth,
And I want to be brave!
But I can't stay.
I can't stay.
