American expression is love. i only wish to express.
i don't know if i can write anymore you're all that's left in my words screaming and shouting and trying and i doubt i'm ever really heard i don't know if i can think anymore a cold shower doesn't take away the pain regression and progression know no path they leave me here, all the same i don't know if i can cry anymore too many diamonds escaped their vaults instead i am numb... or maybe just too patient instead, i'll accept each and every fault i don't know if i cant drink anymore liquid encouragement only hides hours but they pounce and they leap proving to bring down the highest tower i don't know if i can sleep anymore i've tried and i've tried but my theory is broken... look, i've cried and i've cried

a broken theory
i must tell you of this curse that's intertwined in every verse magnets compel, repel, and foretell it doesn't matter if you are well you'll always be attracted div-yd, divided, and subtracted resisting an instinctual urge to give your everything, to splurge call it north, call it south but the words slip out of your mouth your heart will be drawn-in hopeless, head over heels spin laced, maced, even some space you can't resist that face heaven, hell, or whatever you believe it's stronger than we can possibly conceive time out... time in! how did this begin? a chemical reaction a little bit of passion that just rushed in...

today i told you the simplest of words i must be happy, to make you happy and that's what i'll do you have a truly resounding presence even in the corner of your deepest absence and i'll conquer over these misty diamonds to prove to you, our love lacks no funds just a dose of kindling love goofy hats and toboggans racing you to the car picnic table naps and sneaking kisses around corners serenading over the phone or in your ear as you sleep poetry written on ticket stubs pulling my hand over your stubby cheeks a laugh, a smile, a spinning hug we share the same soul we can cross into this new territory daily, weekly, and monthly start down this great beginning who knows what we're winning we can enjoy all the simplicities side by side, buying groceries be thankful for today and tomorrow and give the wind a chance to blow today i told you the simplest of words i must be happy, to make you happy and that's what i'll do

caffeine and smoke may fuel an addiction poetry may soothe an aching soul but in the early hours of the morning i can't seem to find a cure i haven't graced you with a smile recently and you said i haven't laughed for days i'm tangled inside of this constant thought mi vida, i'm sorry my happiness can't be bought i'm drenched in recurring memories even as i sleep it's raining in my mind... and outside today's going to be black, and blue, and grey it's taken so long to get here... to the end of may i speak of you, with such high regard contemplate your steps through a normal day for you, anything to bring me in even closer and pray to anything, anyone, that i won't think of her caffeine and smoke may fuel an addiction poetry may soothe an aching soul but in the early hours of the morning i can't seem to find a cure a weary mind, a sick stomach, a lack of words i'm a coward

i'm a coward
tugging on the memories that are slowly fading they fall from my hands like grains of sand slipping away, drifting away... escaping i just want you by my side again calloused hands a simple smile skinny eyes big cheeks plump lips you even steal my chapstick i miss holding you caressing the sides of your short hair starting from your temple to your back i always contemplated you during your slumber so peaceful, so content, and a body like a furnace i'd tug away to get a better look at you, from afar but even in your sleep, you'd pull me in tighter grasping for comfort, tugging at something unforeseen i couldn't deny you or myself from that you lingered, even when you were gone god how you linger now...now that you're really gone i repeat and repeat, "he'll be back soon." and contemplate your return with such anxiety to hold you again i sleep only to dream about you and that's all right... i get a glimpse of your smile i hear your laugh and temporarily, i'm fine see, dreaming's my fix but nothing is as good as the real you i need you

you lingered, even when you were gone
eagerly waiting and ruthlessly paused looking at the clock, the hours, the minutes forging alone of this path of decisions time is left to decide, to wander, to escape but the neediness calls to me, picks me up moves me along crouched behind a couple of white lies but ones that could massacre, proving defiance could cause uproar, sharper than a scalpel could weaken, distress, and break but none so scary, as losing you for now, they can't know path is chosen, deed is done i may be ****** but i won't run.

venom veraciously running through my veins cowardly hiding from your cordial love calls relentlessly rounding up their rigid rumors now hoping to hide my heightened helplessness diminishing those devious devils, drowning all a hatred hovers for them, always haunting me does a ***** almost lover lie? no, no, no-- so sincere, so saintly, so astounding. i'm wearily weaved in your web i'm caught. i'm caught. i'm caught.

your web
i guess i'll light up this memory again it'll sputter at first, then the smoke will billow a grey cloud of memories surrounds my reality my reality, if you can call it that because i'm dreaming in and out just searching for the pristine light that's going to keep me moving i need some gasoline on these rotting logs a kiss, to stir the embers an embrace, to see the flames a serenade, to make the light dance your presence, to fuel my bonfire although it's withering during the night i find comfort in the heat and vivid colors whoever conceptualized love, knows of fire knows of the burn, knows of the mystery i'll leave coals across the distance this distance that greatly separates but it'll light your way back to me and you'll see, i'm left burning for you a red, passionate heart left simmering while you fetch more firewood, out there you'll find your way back through the woods and see, i've kept us alive all this time whoever conceptualized love, knows of fire knows of the burn, knows of the mystery <3

whoever conceptualized love, knows of fire
fingertips tracing an outline surely tainted by our love not a gaze, but a fixation on all i can imagine silenced by the drifting conclusion that you'll be gone i'm left with seven days to drown in your icy undertow although it burns my core and lights even the darkest what-ifs i'll soak you up, every bit that i can it will have to last me a long time dreams are beautiful and memories, unreal but even those won't compare to the holiness of your heart, the affection labeled on my soul, and a persistent need to adore you. it's one that i can feel beating hidden beneath blood, flesh, and bone i'll ask the moon to watch over you and maybe even the sun, you'll know i'll clench to the sound of your voice radiating in and out of the long days long for your smile... oh, **** your smile i won't be able to quench my thirst it will be a long desert walk until i'm finally back into your arms but i'll be waiting loving you more than today and even more after that.
