Now I realize pages are not filled with the people as they are but only as you wanted them to be because they are the melting snow on the emerging spring and you are the warmth

the melting snow
Things aren't getting better With all these lines Across the sand Through another land But we can pretend its fine Once blue collar, never white collar You're stuck with the dollars You earn And only learn What you must Cause these lines keep us separate So just forget it

waiting to fall asleep i forget the dream of last year how you would gently weep while our smoke filled the car i'm not a music man and I can't believe i'm writing this again when i should have known it was the end

waiting to fall asleep
you see it a shame that your shrine to you cannot be perfumed by digital incense

digital incense
I dreamt that we were naked. coddled in white sun, swathed in snow sheets except, only your eyes could breathe: your body was lifeless, only existing in fact, I remember your eyes the best; lapis in ivory crucibles in glass.

Fold your clothes into your bag Don't forget your advil, You'll need it for the jet lag We both know this is it; We can keep it terse Just take our picture, Fold it up Keep it in your purse. The city is waiting for you And we ain't nothing new You can see what they say And maybe I'll see you around one day

Your city
"like, **** me man; I know, I talk like this a lot, and I get it, you're not a fan. but I'm just trying to cope with it-- although I don't even know what I hope for. maybe I'm just too alone. I mean, I wanna phone to say how much I think about her, but I don't think she'll have that; is a hello too much to ask? I think about those boots she liked, with the fur, and where she put her head when she slept, and that night I got too drunk on those flasks. yknow, that night, we missed that band, but if we're being honest here, I was happy enough just sleeping with a friend. why do I feel like this? I told her, and myself most of all, 'I can't do this right now. I'm prone to hurt and bound to fall' and it was true! or, I believed it to be so, but looking back, I think it was a defense: it was a inherent wall put up a long time ago to hide my lows. and now here I am! telling you this, hoping she didn't take part of me with her, even as I was headed towards the door, watching her saying goodbye, naked, on that old wooden floor."

we started hot, like the tequila on your lips and the stuffy dance floor you dragged me to. quick ignition, under flowing sheets-- bodies of water mingling their seas.

every night my dreams are the same- my enemies call my name to douse the fire and quench my hearts desire but as i slip away, i know you are near, and that you wish to stay. so as i run from expired time, a small note is all i get you to saying, i love you

dune grass hair, beach skin, and sea-salt sundress. still, let me drink from you. fill my sails with your sweet breath, open my eyes and fill my lungs. guide me through troubled water; but still, sweep me away. bring me somewhere new. ship me to fresh water, like your home town. but still, keep me where I am. still, leave me, unchanged.
