I've been too busy writing my fantasies
that I forgot how to make you my own
in reality.
how?

There's more that meets the eyes
And this will never change
It's too complicated to explain why
The answer will never be the same
Just remember to hold us when we cry
And beware those moments we act insane
Sometimes a firm, warm place to land
Is the only thing to soothe our weary brain
Were difficult at best, impossible at worst
But true love is always on our mind first
Some women want the finer things in life
Some just want children and to be a good wife
Others need to be held and reassured constantly
Some just want to trust and receive honesty
No matter the woman, you'll never understand us all
But keep in mind... There's no greater feeling than the fall

I would breathe deep of midnight
If only to drown in the blaze of your dawn

We've walked so far together.
You carry your shoes by their straps
Carelessly over your shoulder,

Your toes happy in the soft sand of our
Short, yet eventful
History.

The soles of your feet still carry
Scars from the sharp rocks; unfriendly
Paths of years gone and

Yesterday's selfish lovers.
Now your hand is safe in mine,
And there's a colourful sunset

On even our cloudiest evenings.
Walk with me
Into it.

I brought you five roses on this
Day. One for each
Month together.

There's bliss within the
Bliss inside this
Bliss, and

The print on that
Girl's T-shirt is more
Than true;

Life really
Is a
Beach.

Another broken bottom of a bottle
to slip through, cutting myself as I do.
It takes a lot of effort, full throttle
I kick and squeeze myself down the neck,
just to plummet to the bottom and through,
again and again until my body is wreck.

I am the wrecks of the sea & the blood of the land.
I am the bottomless bottom & the outstretched hand.  

And this- this drenched, drab mess of language -
is the product of my mind and a waste of your time.

What it is is this, and only this it truly is:  

Nothing again, that's the start and that is the end.

If I were a coloring book,
*          would you color in the lines?

If I were water,
          would you let me be still?

If I were wooden,
          would you light me on fire?

If I were an egg,
          would you crack me, boil me?

If I were a string,
          would you tangle me, knot me?

If I were lava,
          would you try to swim?
