Today I woke up heavy
though I knew I felt empty
the way gravity has no pounds
but still weighs everything down
And I wanna say I'm crazy
because delusion can be easy
I'd like to say I'm wrong
See, I'm too much like mom
I'll stay strong through her memory
through waves of sorrow plenty
I know I feel her love
she says 'getting better starts within us'

how do you love?
i can't imagine you've never given it
yet, you clearly lack the etiquette
how do you love?
you're transparent
but not in the way that light shines though
how do you love?
truthfully the question is no surprise
you know only lust in disguise
how do you love?

we step on cushioned treasures
and dream of words like rivers
we are slow to start but soon chase after them
more tenaciously than any dream
these words are how we feel put to a melody
i guess that's all we'll ever be
transparent little words -
making their way down the loneliest of streams
i made a wrong turn
and lost sight of everything
blinded by salt water
i know you don't believe in my struggle

its been a while
since my eyes have seen a dry night
i don't know
who's to blame
if its worth any at all
blame, i mean
i know this isn't worth tears
yet they are eager to fall
they are willing to be seen
they are much braver than me

sleep is such a petty and unimportant thing
when i am with you
my eyes grow heavy
but my heart heavier
when sleep tries to pull me away
i'd rather live one thousand sleepless days
than ten you-less moments
i know you listen
you ask so many beautiful questions
i wonder where you keep all my silly answers
i'd rather you leave them all
than leave my side
an exhale
a step
driving 6 hours
in the wrongest direction
i miss you already

winter is full
bursting at the seams
overflowing, contents rolling
i can’t keep up
my mind is the hare here
i am the tortoise again
memories, feelings flow form the sky
snowflakes drifting into ever-aching hands
they seem to be crashing
clumsily and carelessly
look out, look out

waves of warmth
your body exudes
knock me off my feet
catch me, catch me, catch me
my words fall on your newly deafened ears.
why is this so hard.
why are you so far.

i remember our last night in that quiet town.
we stood on the porch and sang our lungs out in-between hits of your sweet cigarette.
we laid on our backs and watched the stars for what seemed like hours.
we watched the same sad movie clips,
and listened to the same sad songs.
we cried our same loving tears.
i know that there is no way on this earth, in any heaven or hell — that you didn’t feel the electricity of that night.
it engulfed my being and will follow me forever.
we were two drifting souls in such a sad, quiet town.
when we were the only ones on the road,
we still felt complete.
i had your hand in my hand.
i felt your warmth, and tears you’d wiped away.
waking up to you is the best feeling in the world
it’s the only feeling i want to feel for the rest of my days.
we are two drifting souls searching for so much
trying to find our way, our home, our reason
i’ve realized all my answers lie within you, consider me lost until the day we are one.

i would gladly lay in the ponds
that are the blues of your eyes.
i have a theory; that’s how they colored the skies
by using the blues of your eyes.
a piece of you for everywhere
but i have a jealous heart.
perhaps selfish over elegant art
art that is the blues of your eyes.
