I lather my hands
With the feeling of your skin
And your hair
I kissed your forehead
You kissed my hand
I told you “I understand”
But a torch I took of you
And a torch for you I still hold
Despite those words
And despite my affirmation
My heart kept my emotion
Keeping the feeling of you like lotion

I once fell in love with a miner
Not a young man, but a hard working one
He danced with soot and calloused his hands
Working in places the sun had never gone
People would ask me, "Why?"
But I loved his spirit and his strong mind
And people should still persisted to pry
"I never cared about his lack of time"
Because I loved this man, soot and all
I watched him work in shadows
I waited for his nightly call
Until his work took him to the gallows

How could my words
Further tangle in my throat
When just the thought of you
Ties the tightest words
I've ever known.
How could my heart swell
Further inside my chest
When all you do is look at me
With the bluest eyes
I've ever seen.
How could I possibly
Further bypass my deepest emotions
When your touch magnifies
The deepest, and strongest love
I've ever felt.
And how could I have let you go
Further away from me
When all I ever do
Is dream of the happiest moments
We've ever had.

God gave me your music
When the silence grew too strong
At first it didn't make sense
Because I've been alone for so long
But eventually the notes danced
On my newly opened mind
And I jumped towards the sky
Out of my world and out of my binds
Then forever and on I danced freely by myself
And God smiled down upon my mental health

Comfort in the promise
Of no promises at all
Knowing your warmth may be fleeting
I await the cold
For the fool hopes for the swearing of always
Wrapped in lavender cloth
But the wise await for the winter that no shelter can withstand.
I ran to you knowing your feet had the ability to run in opposition
So I approached you and waited for your feet to move
And so they did.
The winter bird wrecked my home and frosted my woven flowers.
And now I stand pale and alone
As the wiser.

Phone at her chest
Hoping someone would call
Just to hear her heart beating.
A dial at her fingertips
Just in case
The silence of the ringer
Became too unbearable.
Darkness at her feet
So if someone were to call
There would be no safe place to run.

Everything is whatever
The water is dark
And your face is cool
To the touch.
But I could never feel
Your icy skin
Because everything
Is just whatever
And whatever has never
Brought me closer
Than the moon.
You are the earth
And I look down
At you from great distances.
We dance together
But never do we touch
Never do we hold.
I go with the flow
And your waterfalls push
My picture out of focus.
No moon on the surface.
Because everything
Is just whatever
And whatever
Is what you've chosen.

I skate in the rain
I ruin my grip tape
I ruin my name
Cemented and scraped
What is my escape?
Who am I to say?
Nothing answered in 12 tapes
Of all the sins I'll pay
I dance in the rain
I color the ground
I sing of the pain
Of no comfort I've found
Did you hear me?
Do my soles display?
Can you possibly see
What my feet would say?
I love in the rain
I lay in the sand
I call me to blame
For he is my rain man

When the water flows
It runs with rippled chaos
And endless beauty
The blue body reflected surface
Crashes to white against
The hardened rocks of death
Yet it still sprints at full speed
Despite the river's debris
The persistence of the current
Enlightens the perseverance within me

I read myself through
The morning haze
With weary bones
And cloudy daze
Then the afternoon
Passed me by
In my journal wrote
"Let me cry"
But the sun fell
In great orange colors
And in my soul laid
The warmth of 21 summers
Soon after the celestial sparkles
Filled my eyes full
Sitting with my heavy eyes
I knew I was a fool
