It’s where I want to be,
That place I cannot reach.
And if I dare to look ahead,
it will taunt me, Warn me.
Go back a step instead!
“I’ll never get there!”
My vision starts to blur.
Reaching out with fuzzy hands,
To hold something steadier than my nerve.
But dense is the air and the fear, that wears me like a cloak.
They picked me up like this, they saw that I had broke.
How to step forward, when these shoulders are my home?
Looking back is easier, if you kid yourself you’ve grown.

Let the dust settle
be patient
as you watch
and trust,
that gravity,
will coax it down
allow 'time'
to assemble its own fate
a silent audience
we must sometime be
to observe all things
bad and great

may the gust of air, remind you that the world is spinning.
let it not instil worry,
let it not instil stress.
let it teach you instead....
to be anything BUT 'still'
bless this ground with your dance if you are able,
and if today you are not?
let it inspire tomorrows mind...

As with flowers and with bone,
the life you lead will be sewn.
and under flesh and weeds,
will lie a soul filled with deeds.
and I hope, upon the greatest descend,
with no-more hearts left to mend,
Before the tears and the dirt,
you'll Smile, for all life is worth.
So when the rain falls and the sun sets,
you'd have loved it all with not one regret.

There’s an ocean, collected on the other side of the world.
Away from those that taught her destruction.
Learning from the land what it feels like to sink.
What else can she do but weep?
and slowly flood as we sleep...

You said it ‘would be a ride’
and as you took my hand,
and dragged me along the tracks,
I felt, what you meant.

When you loose a love,
It wasn’t love that you lost,
For it couldn’t have been.

This mask, so engrained in my mind,
that I forget it resides on the surface of my skin, rather than sunken in.
It slowly, and is, slipping.
Every touch,
Every time,
Loves loving eyes locked on mine.
My curse loosens it’s bind,
As it’s dissolved between us,
surrendering to your affections,
It can’t take loves weight.
Unveiling my colours,
It’s you that pulled the tapestry.
I forgot, of what, I was capable.
Of what, so long, had been hid.
This mask,
Dismantled at my feet.
Lowering my gaze to a shattered past,
Until my chin is met by kind fingertips...
Upwards, my scarred skin, tips,
to face you,
Thankyou

There is a space between us,
One that I did not make.
It was crafted by your hands,
But you may not recall, my dear.
Perhaps when teary eyes grew tired,
You built it in your dreams,
Whilst I was holding you.
And now we wake,
to a distance we can’t explain.
Air falls differently here,
The heaviness of a space,
You may not truly want,
But may truly need.
Helplessness lays another brick,
A slave to this magnificent structure,
Ever successful piece by piece,
To house the beast that haunts you.
Tear them down with me
Tear them down without me,
Just please my love,
Don’t add a single brick more.
