all of the stories we have,
a beginning, middle, end,
but we got lost chapter one

I try to talk to you but
my soul just turns to steel,
this happens whenever I
Try tell you how I feel -
about
you.

Catch day dreams with me
and get lost in our thoughts
of the future us.

Act oblivious
to the icy ways you snap,
I'll give the same back.

I know this life can be strange
The simplicity of love,
nor wavering expressions
nor the walls that you put up.

Knowing I'm not alone,
with your warm lifted soul,
a drink of sap from the tree
you've gently nurtured for me.

She has everything to give
in this large, limited world,
so...
I stopped looking for more stones
When I knew, I found a pearl.

Golden elegance
subtly peeks over grass
With spying brown quartz.

When I spoke to you
my eyes would scatter
And lose focus,
So I would avoid contact –
I got used to how
the pavement
Would paint my imagery.

But I nervously fell so steep
With no option to look up –
Only to escape
The pit you had me fall into
In the first place.
