I was once a desired thing,
Long hair, wide eyes and tiny shoulders.
I was once a wilder thing,
No staying in, even when the air was colder.

See me now,
Smothered in on and under you.
See me now,
Burying regret, resentment and the truth.

Remember me when,
I had oysters, pearls and diamonds galore.
Remember me when,
The whole ocean knocked on my door.

Keep an eye on me now,
A bittersweet ***** with only one way to go.
Keep an eye on me now,
Back to the Woman I know.

We sleep side by side,
like it's our God given right.
We are nature.
We are sunlight.

A child approaches me in my dreams,
she walks through the warzone,
her red hair blowing in the wind,
she looks at me with your eyes.

I've never wanted a traditional life,
but I can think of nothing better,
than sitting on a porch with you
hands and fingers intertwined.
Watching the sun go down
Happy with life.

We're all dramatic goodbyes and tearful reunions.
It's like something from a movie.
My heart has been broken by the miles between us,
my mind and body abused.

I wish I wasn't the way I am.
I wish I could turn things the right way up.

We're all soft skin and folded limbs,
Our sour breath mingled in.
Young and not quite in love,
but I'll lie here with you until I fall.

As we work on this puzzle piece,
I wonder where it will click into place.
This fairytale may not end so sweet,
but I know you won't admit defeat.

Your blue eyes are telling me something,
something we silently agreed not to say.
I hope mine are not leading you astray.

I want your days to be filled with manic yellows,
florescent pinks and wild, wet blues.
I want you to live and tell me all about it.
Be a storyteller, I want to enjoy you.
Be an entertainer, I want to love you.
But you're calm, serene.
You balance out my madness.
Two of me and we explode,
two of you and we fall off the edge of the earth.

I spend everyday in heartache
Waiting for a chance to talk to you.
You've chiselled away this girl of stone,
so don't leave me exposed to the cold.
Wrap yourself around me, want me, need me.
I'll go wherever you are,
my willingness scares me.
I can't keep looking forward,
Just looking at now.
We've made everything ******* ourselves,
but the truth is that I love you.
Songs are sweeter, more relevant.
Days without you drag on.
I'd do anything to have you beside me.
Because you are my one and only.

They call it a rough patch,
but I don't know how to deal.
I knew there had to be some catch,
a sandwich crust, an orange peel.

Your life is moving forward,
I'm hanging back in the trees.
I had hoped you wouldn't get bored,
Of Skype calls and endless amounts of cheese.

I still act like there's nothing wrong,
No one has to know.
I'm still listening to our favourite song,
Trying to deal with this blow.

I had dreamed of nights wrapped up in you.
I had dreamed of  white dresses and little feet.
Maybe you had different plans, maybe I scared you.
But I'm not ready to admit defeat.

One day, my darling,
One day we will be the King and Queen
of the universe.
We will show them mercy
and be kind to those who forsook us.

One day, my darling,
One day, money will cease
to control us.
We will indulge, splurge and spoil
the labours of our love.

One day, my darling,
One day, the rats will run
ahead of us.
We will sit, and wonder
about how we ever kept up.

One day, my darling,
One day, the world will keep spinning
without us.
We will greet our next adventure
hands held, hearts locked.

One day, my darling.
One day, our bones will be the dust
fertilising the future.
We will be as forgotten
as the druids and the bards.

Your eyes gave me everything.
They gave me love, they gave me hope, they gave me fear.
Your eyes gave me everything.
But they couldn't keep us near.

Your eyes are as blue,
As the sea that parts and surrounds our worlds.
They're as blue,
As the sky that stretches over us both.

Your eyes are so bright,
They were my light in the night.
So bright,
I can barely look at you.

That night your eyes were so wet,
I forgot all the good they had been.
My eyes were so wet,
I forgot to look, forgot I had it all to see.

It's only been blue eyes -
Since I was with you
But it's never been love,
Not since I left you.

I'm flying; I'm beautiful.
I'm soaring; but I am not free.
Nor do I wish to be.

I'm falling; I'm miserable.
I'm slipping down, down, down.
I am not free.
Nor do I wish to be.

It's time you told me, and stopped this agony.
It's time you put your arms around me, and soothed my soul.
Please don't set me free.
