clumsy
i am so clumsy
and reckless
with everything
from my keys
to my heart
i will accidentally crush yours
under my feet
and then look at you
with wide, damaged eyes
begging you to be gentle with
me

I love her!

Well at least I like to tell myself that.
I suppose I cared because no on else did. I find that sometimes I get lost in her gibberish that flows from her lips like ***** from a drunken school girl.
She would ***** her disgusting words all over me. Each conversation I became a victim. A martyr for a senseless cause I was left dripping with confusion...

I tried to play you a song
but my fingers melted over the keys
What was meant to be a beautiful melody
Instead sounded like
the melancholy
That is trapped inside of me

A part of me knew that this would happen,
his life was in flames,
burning bright and fast to ash.
Watching him burn made me feel whole,
I could be his anchor.
He could see,
I was a safe waiting to be cracked.
That I needed him so much more,
then I put on.
As long as he spoke the right lies
and emptied the time left,
he would get the combination.
Is that what he did?

Drowning
in his depth of troubled tides
that I've created.

Lost
my grip once in,
this unfamiliar place
that we've built.

Trying
to hold on to what is good,
as I trail on Davy Jones
scratchy rock bottom.

He'll
never need me
to be embedded in the cool sand.

The belly of the ocean
isn't as dark as it seems.
I can see the white light surface
the glass blocks.
Prisoner from reality in this
relationship utopia.
Everything
is as real as it seems.
Sharks always swarm
once someone bleeds.

Another slam, a broken door.
Mom doesn't love dad anymore.
Daughter's crying on the bathroom floor.
Son is a basketcase, his spirit tore.

I'm fine.
sleep.
I'm fine.
you're fine.
we're all fine.
I smell like cigarettes,
and my phone's dying.
I'm not sure if this what I want to tell you.
so it's just as well that I never will.

please sleep well, wherever you are.

i looked out my window
and saw the fresh green leaves
blooming new on the trees
and i wondered when that happened
because last time i checked
the world was barren
and my heart was cold
if i can miss
the steady change of the earth
to a bright jade green
what else have i failed to admire?
