these reflections i see
one is of you and of me
i am led to them on my path
my fixed gaze of love and wrath
all seen in the puddles by my feet
they're drying up just as we meet
it all leads to these couplets i write
and mindless whispers in the night

your love, sent to me five months past may
one day, you decided that you were renewed
your will took my colors and made them gray
people found in spaces not mine
lovers made out of shadows you stole
what do i do
with all the mistakes you made

i get *******
my brain gets tangled
i dive head first
my heart gets strangled

the cold tuesday
flowers id have to save
i begged you to not go
i asked you to stay

i found the sun in your heart
and saw the moon in your eyes
felt the waves crashing in your mind
i felt the storm beginning to start

now theres
theres flowers in the freezer
im waiting to thaw them for you
im waiting

i felt incomplete
not knowing you
not knowing
where to find you
now i feel
incomplete
because now i know
exactly where you are
and it isn't here

i dashed through a field of poppies
only to fall asleep in your arms
i awoke to the whispering flowers
they told me where you'd gone
i asked if you'd return someday
they said "she isn't far"
and though i could see you
fields away playing merrily
i could not reach you
for you had been made new

excuse me it's all a little new
to hold open the door for you
open up the shades for you
carve a little space for you

so is your chapstick made of glue?
it feels like it when i kiss you
and all those love songs true
and my heart brand new
