Calli Kirra Apr 2019
You’re bitter,
So you won’t pick up your phone
Is it the principle?
Or would you rather be alone?
I know I’m a whole lot
To swallow in one pill
But you made a promise
Keep it in your pocket
Or at least keep it close
Your silence at my spite is all I need
To know we love each other still
Calli Kirra Apr 2019
Did you heal me overnight?
Or did I do it on my own,
Just like I crafted the rest of this show
Is there something you just won’t say?
Or millions of them
Let’s spend a night in Vancouver
And take turns testing, then
You soak it up just like me
Everything you are is everything I see
I’ll take my time
I’ll linger while we say goodnight

I poured a bucket of rain water
Straight onto your bed
And as it all seeped
Down into the sheets
I was left with pebbles in the end

Baby I suppose
I’d rather be soaked
Than suffer in the drying sun
Or never have known
Calli Kirra Feb 2019
Even clues that aren’t about you,
You apply them to us
So I guess I don’t have to worry about the digs I drop
For you to find in the moss

Lover, I thought my life was going to melt
And fall off the bone
Instead it flashed before my eyes,
Now I’d rather be alone
Calli Kirra Nov 2018
I burn and melt
Liquify and drip down
From the inside out
And like the candle wax
Left from each of our nights
I cool again
More crooked than I was before
Calli Kirra Nov 2018
If my life depended on caring
For even a second
About your fearful, twisted heart
Or the sick, whimpering monster behind your eyes
I wouldn’t make it
Calli Kirra Nov 2018
Weak as a a ten ton weight on a wire for you
My knees just buckle,
Yours give too
We listen to rock music under the orange moon
Then some acoustic
Some rhythm n blues
The stormy fade
Over your gorgeous, angry face
You’re a heavenly tumbling sky
I’m washed clean in your rain
Electric guitars
A few more bars
All leather, metal and jade
