I wanted to believe I understood
I wander in your mind and I am lost

there be dragons
at the edge of your world
and oceans even language cannot cross

I wanted to believe that it was love
writ in the stars
to guide us o'er the sea

a shadow that will never reach the Sun
and all the things I wanted
to believe

one day it is just
grass and branches
last year's leaves
the bones of green

the next day
the whole world in bloom
like winter was
some long cold dream

little singing
birds are bringing twigs
on brightly colored wings

would they bring us
so much joy
if it had been
forever spring?

help me

I pray

I don't know
if you're there

or how many you are

I don't know
if you care

but I ask anyway
just in case you can hear

I don't know what to say to you

help me

I pray

I want to hold your soul
together
keep you warm
and help you cope

but truthfully
for all my hope
I am a feather
in your storm

there are many messages
that I would like to send to you
I have chosen to say nothing
silence is a message too

I ☶☱ the way you say my name
you know just how to play the game
but I would ☶☱ you all the same
I ☶☱ you

I ☰☵ you when you are away
I ☰☵ you almost every day
but you will never hear me say
I ☰☵ you

of all the things I ☷☰ you for
I truly ☷☰ to be ignored
and when you treat me like a *****
I ☷☰ you

I ☳☷ it when you send me texts
I ☳☷ it when you kiss my neck
as close to ☳☷ as I can get

I ☳☷ you

almost morning
eerie quiet
nervous eyes past
shady alleys
sleepy silence
drenched in dewdrops
waiting for the Sun to spark

stone cold storefront
streetlight
bus stop
miles and miles and
just beginning
try to walk past

my thoughts spinning

webs of madness
in the dark
