scully

sometimes i know i need to
write about you because my
body will start to buzz like
there is electricity inside of
my veins and i will itch
to get rid of your eyes in
the back of my head, and even
if i don't exactly know what to
do with my hands they will
trace themselves over your
memories and they will whisper;
do you remember when you
were in love? do you remember
when you had it all? and i keep
writing to erase, i write and drink
and try not to remember how it
feels to lose you, every time i open
my eyes i lose you again. i write
to keep my hands busy so my chest
doesn't ache and no parts of me
whisper your name to the dark but
i could write for-ever and
i would still break pencils in half
and keep my hands clasped to
avoid any painful wandering;
*of course i remember.
how could i forget?

Disarray

Disarray

This bed is like a coffin
With a burial each night.
I could tell you where
it all went wrong
But it wouldn't make it right.
I'm never worth
Remembering
You each showed me that.
With your pretentious self obsession
Words that always fell flat.
Each day is long and empty.
I cannot find my way,
So forgive me
Graciously
While I slowly fade away.

Mirror Of Heart

Mirror Of Heart

In mirror of my heart I see my true self
The one I have been waiting for.
With breath I radiate my light.
In new day I take step to dance.

In mirror of heart I feel blessings build.
The light of gratitude fills precious day.
With focus I rise above obstacles
In day I dance to my own song peaceful.

Look at yourself in mirror inside heart and you will see divinity in motion.

Reprise

Reprise

I hit the crosswalk
And I know how you feel.
Your overcoat is trembling,
But your lips are steel.

But sooner or later, you will come around.
And I will find your favor as you're falling down.

I hide in your sweatshirt
With my knees drawn in tight.
I sit in the corner
With the company of moonlight.

You say you walk the road less traveled- how does that make you feel?
But with your words like gravel, how can I finally heal?

Just like that

Just like that

just like that
there was a switch in her mind that flipped

And reasonable democracy
gave way
to sovereign dictatorship

something about the way you cradled your coffee mug in your palm

while trying to open the car door and talk on the phone to your brother
at the same time

took away her option of resistance

She became overwhelmed by the way you leaned your body against door frames and talked with both hands

The way you concentrated
every time you stirred your coffee with a spoon

They all became like a flood to her and in that forceful deluge, her list of pros and cons washed away and she was left with only you.

clumsy, beautiful you.

Broken Down History

Rebel Heart

Broken Down History

You called me an artist
With a broken down soul
So when did I become your seamstress
And someone you thought you could control?

Trying to sew together these pieces
Of your broken down heart.
But who's going to be there for me
Deep in the night when I fall apart?

I'm just held together by band-aids
That you would call plastic smiles
Simply dressed in faux happiness
That you would call a style.

Eyes twinkling in a pool of lies
While my demons fight within
Adding a fake skip to my stride
While hiding these cuts on my skin.

But tonight,
The shards from my empty,
broken down heart
Are cutting in way too deep

And tonight,
The echoes in my empty,
broken down walls
Are screaming too loud to sleep.

So as I toss and turn tonight
In this endless infinite beat
Where are you now darling
As I'm alone crying in my sheets

And one thing is for sure
Never again will we meet
Because only one thing is for sure
This history always repeats

Still needs to be edited and any comments/suggestions are welcome :)
