Sitting in the shower with the water pouring down on my head
And I imagine I'm in the rain...
And the world is washing her cruel marks off my skin
I feel better than I have in a long time.
I stare at my body with it's
Bruises and marks
And I love them for the stories they are

She's so
Perfect
Sublime
I want to eat her up
Make her mine
Let her love me
And love her well
Take her to a fancy restaurant
And give her the world

Wind was smooth,
And the kite, flying high.
And me, in full control of the kite,
I assume.

The kite above,
like a paint brush.
The  sky beneath it,
like a canvas.

The string pulled me,
towards the kite.
I was attracted,
I give in.

But the wind got gusty,
The string snapped.
The kite flew away,
Like She did.

The kite,
No longer with me.
But still pulls me,
Like She does.

The room is silent
My bed is empty
Eyes of violet
Haunt my memory

My heart is beating
It skips one or two
Moonlight bleeding
Onto images of you

The past is nearly present
The future seems so far
Her perfume is a presence
Her eyes are distant stars

mamas,
teach your boys
that shooting
is only for
stars.

To want what shouldn't ever be yours to want
To need something that can never be yours to need
It just isn't fair
Why can't love just survive

Heart broke once
Finally repaired
Just to find out
I've fallen again

I just want to be loved
I just want to be needed
Why does fate have to keep us apart
Does he share what I feel
Does he know how I care

Hardly just met
Barely even friends
Why can't I just stop listening
To this messed up heart of mine

Fallen so hard
He doesn't have a clue
Is it me
Is it him
Or is it the circumstances that surround
Should I wait just for him
Only to find in the end
Another broken heart

Why do we worry so much about what is to come
why can't we be happy
To just live for today
