If only I knew back then
You were a lesson in love
I would have studied harder

You are out of my reach
But i still feel you near
Even if time keep us apart
we'll always be here
I know you don't believe me
Sometimes I don't too
But as long as you're happy
I will be too
Don't press the scars
that we left behind
It will heal one at a time
my love, we'll be fine
Don't worry about tomorrow
Because this is my goodbye
You're a free crow, my love
Soaring through the night

i have always found that
when the sun is too close
for too long
bleaching life from me

my skin burns

scalding the happiness
found in my solitude
to nothing

and i blister with
such servitude
weeping for normalcy


as i rub in the salve
made of my traumas
just to get close to the suns warmth
one more time

but i always turn
to silently falling ashes

brittle bones crumble
turning
ashes to ashes

dust to dust
and back to the earth
i shall return

until the sun shines
against my god forsaken
skin
one more time

And all there is is silence
Trudging through calf deep snow.
Under sleeping winter trees.
And there's no sound.
One foot after the other.
Powder snow and smokey breath.
Painful air stabs.
But no sound.
No wind in the trees
No snapping branch.
No creature stirs.
No crunch underfoot.
No rushing water
as the frozen falls near,
the woods end.
The black water runs
beneath the creeping ice
along the bank.
Stepping out onto the edge.
Plunging down without a breath.
And there's no sound.

I need to start
walking my path.

Otherwise,
I'm just
an Honest
Liar
with the best intentions,
achieving nothing

Who can't find
my own way home...
