she loves me

she loves me not

she's the only

thing that i've got

and this 4 petal rose

that i'm picking on

not sure that i like

where this is going

She draws the stars
Late into the night
Standing in an open field
Soaking in their light
The beauty that they cast
Helps her pen to glide
When she's finished drawing
Is when she takes to flight

She draws the stars
Colors them by numbers
Throws away all diagrams
Prefers the use of different colors
Gives them all the oddest names
One after another
The furthest ones away
Names them after her ex-lovers

She draws the stars
Then gives her drawings away
To those she meets on the street
She feels needs a brighter day
She gives away the ones she loves
The rest she likes to save
Pastes them on her walls
In the galaxy she's made

Why an emptiness within
with the summer wind
blowing away the dust

Why the mute tears
we weren't friends for years
but came together awhile

The earth doesn't pause to grieve
but in the heart of hearts
when a good friend leaves
the void for lifetime hurts.

You'd have to travel far
To get to where we were
Travel back in time to find
The one and only cure
After all these years
I still have no idea
Why it was I said
Or what it was I did

I think about it all the time
The days that were my crime
I need to tell her how I feel
Bring it all to light
For what is ailing me
The pain I must endure
I need to try and find the cure
For the years of missing her

No longer being young
No need to hold my tongue
I need to spill my guts
Stop this playing dumb
Give this heart it's much need rest
Get it off my chest
How can such an emptiness
Be so heavy set

My minds memory
Is in a constant fight
With tooth for a tooth
And eye for an eye
In what is ailing me
All that I must endure
Knowing she's the only cure
For the years of missing her

if I were to lay down my glove onto your thigh
place my gauntlet upon your taut high *******
lay my ear to your chest hear your heart
tell me would you love me back?

ere the sun to warm the bed the sheets
make the warmest nest to love
together might you sink into a wet
embrace a passionate kiss

tell me tales of innocence as I
gently knead you closer
look off into the ceiling look down
when you think I am
not noticing

were the moons to multiply upon
the eastern dark sky tonight
like you and I
brightly sheen

If it was the end of the world or no
one would ever hear a word
again, might you take my hand tonight
pause the dreams of him

and for once see
I love you more than him
I have so much to give my pleas the silver rose
of sanity

oh sweetest blush again

that's it
the this of now is where
I am gonna hang my cap hat my
toupee

Then there was when
that day I had long hair
and a goatee
always wet

vigorous , in a way
no doubts no second thoughts
my way or
nothing at all

had two ***** then
now I have three
they sag down lower then
my knees

I dont care anymore
wrinkles around every curve my biceps
turned into droopy triceps
my lower eyelids
into nose bags
my ears into forests
my chin into three of em

that is the way
I live work  hard
party when not working and
it took a toll
I just wish the mirror had a mute button
It has started laughing at me

This I have heard when asked of her
Where in life do you feel safe
It's no surprise with a gleam in her eyes
She explains the ocean waves

Where the strength of Mother Ocean
Holds steady both her and the shore
Lapping at all of her worries
Until they are no more

Can't you understand, barefoot in the sand
Is where sanity is kept
With no hour glass watching time pass
As this moment keeps it held back

All of her inhibitions
Come here to let themselves loose
This is the place where she feels safe
Beside her ocean blue
