a joint venture
equal
otherwise its slave
and slaves master

sometimes love seems hidden , too deep to mine
and only the lucky few venture that far
a single candles flame and a prayer on their lips
you will only have to dig so deep
and love will not be able to hide for that long

while we’re inside, you’re in the clouds
and you can't see past the tree line
even when the sea parts in your eyes
and you can pass
all you see is red and you fold
and fold and fold and fold
till you've made something to consume you whole
you never wanna eat though so your bowls always full
weren't you supposed to be something more in this world
wasn't i supposed to stand out not burn out
maybe you can still see me as you drift into sleep
cause in my dreams i just see me falling in the deep

we sat next to each other

and I ignored the tension

and laughed and teased

and felt at ease


but you grabbed my hand

and traced my palm.
your touches
slowly crawled up my arm,

your thumb massaged mine

and you pulled me closer

and raised my hand to your mouth

and kissed my fingertips with your soft, soft lips
.

but this incredible lust

would pass with time

and you would never truly

be mine.

so I tried to convey all of my pain
in a soft kiss on your shoulder

and as I released myself from your grasp

my eyes started to tear,


and I forced myself to realize
that it is probably best
that I will never get back the sensation

of having you at my fingertips.

Its hard to move forward
When i dont know
Where forward is

So worried
Always
That i may misplace a step
Sometimes
I forget to take one
