My bed is haunted
With reminants of you
Where dreams linger,
And touch echoes.

A deck of cards
With a king of hearts
Fifty two reasons why
I fell in love with you

But now it's time to back away
From the catastrophe at hand
Two hearts collided
With no where left to run

It's grown old and tired
Fleeting, easily
You came,
How will you go?

The flower
You gave me
Rotted, too

And the November air
Brought us farther apart
Your blank stares
Are tearing up my heart.

Everything is dying,
I need to get out and see
The last life has to offer
Before it gives up on me.

I've lost my voice
To the winds in my lungs
I don't have a choice;
We are coming undone.

barely audible, like the leaves falling at night
the trees shed their autumn sweaters
as we shed ours for each other
and it was the sound of
two bodies breathing together
in the sanctity of solitude

and they are solemnly at peace
one for convenience,
one for the love
she quivers like the breeze
he misses the love he can no longer see.

we are just two broken phantoms
left hollow by the beginnings and ends.
it all bleeds together
after a while

so we go grabbing,
struggling for that release
from some love that made its way free
wont you reach with me, darling?

waiting for you to open your eyes
and see me in a different light
is like me trying to find
the courage for the demons i have to fight.

so maybe it's time
for me to open my mind
to learn how to look you in the eye
without falling for you
every
****
time.

You are the frigidity in my bones
I am consumed by you,
Like the way the autumn moans,
And succumbs to the winter moon.

I love you from your eyes to your entrails,
your mind to your skin so pale.
From the depths of your ribs
to the safety of your skull.
Your sins, your blessings,
you as a whole.

and time is moving faster
the night has grown long
my heart a slave, your touch the master
you make my skin sing the loveliest of songs.

i could not begin to bring up
where i end
and you begin
you are all i need, but you've had enough

so let me fade away
from the place you gave me in your heart
i promise the words i say
will end as soon as they could start

hate this and i'll love you
all the same
that word's got me up all night

i don't even want something new,
no, for you are the rain
washing away the blight
of loneliness

You are bound by frayed strings
Latched onto my heart
Rip them out and I'll feel the sting
Of the end replacing a start.

I'm sorry I'm so fragile
And for the way I wither without you
My heart sings for you still
But I know your chest is mute.

The past is a mirror
We look in to find
Whether you are gone or here,
You are always on my mind.

am i your curse
or just steps to rehearse
for the girl who will sweep your heart away
i guess i lie when i say "i'm okay"

because its hard to live life on the edge
where i'm falling faster,
my arms outstretched
were you the wrong heart to go after?

all i want is to be the wings
to keep your heart in the clouds
to be the one to set you free
from all the pain you've been bound.

but am i the cancer,
the shackles on your ankles?
love has so many answers
from each different angle.

i want to be
your only
key.

with your hands between my thighs,
and your eyes on mine,
i do not see the past.
i see a future that we could have.

but this future is dead and gone,
i guess you could say it's all my fault.
when i say i'm confused,
it's because i don't know if i'm now losing
all that's left to lose.

I'll write it to you
Since there's no one else listening
But I'm not even sure you are, too.
When you're gone, something is missing.

I know it's all been said before
But I can't quite get it out of my system
I'm sure you know what it's like; standing behind closed doors
That hopelessness we get when we miss them.

I know you know what I mean
All you wanted was to be loved
So go, wash your body clean of me
Sometimes it's all we can do, when push comes to shove.

I want you there in my most intimate of times
I want you so much closer.
Here I go again with these ****** rhymes,
Unsynchronized disposer.

Come over, make yourself at home
Share a cup of tea with me.
We don't have to go at this alone,
We can't shoulder this animosity.

Soaking in your old bath water
That detachment you got fueling
Reminds me of my father.
The way you look at me so coolly.

You are the sunshine
Peeking through my curtains
Good morning, good night
Could we make amends?
