Just because you spoke my name in a new way does not mean that it is yours
You held my hand and broke my heart with similar intentions

Yet here you are in my mind and on my lips even though
I'm pretty sure I let go of you months ago

I've held the ribs of new souls and we did things I learned to do with you
But I can't seem to smudge away your finger traced lines encircling my body
I remind myself of the things I said I would never do
And giving into you was recently added

Yet here you are on my mind and in my bed
How you escaped my traps of getting rid of you I'll never know
All I ever wanted was to memorize your heart beat and have that tune beside me for as long as I could still hear

Sometimes I cant remember what it sounds like and those are days I breath new air
But it's nights like right now
Where all I can hear is my own heart
And it sounds an awful lot like yours

The lies you told between our lips
Her skin's touch between our hands
Defining secrets between our gazes
Our clothes between our bare bodies
Unforgettable truths between our minds
Broken promises between our hearts
A hard earned love split in half by easily made mistakes

Missing links
In the chains of our lives
Almost a whole
With a few holes

You are my holes
You and your body
Your eyes lips and hair
Your hands ears and back

What if you came back
Would it be what I know
Our slow warm and familiar love
Like not a single day apart had passed

I cannot focus on the past
When I saw you my mouth would water
When I think of you my eyes still water
Distance in mind and body

You were my beloved somebody
I was your beloved somebody
We had inseparable bodies
I need to forget your body

My heart turns to honey
So sticky so sweet
My thoughts turn to molasses
so thick and slow
Your voice in my ear
Brushed on like dark chocolate
Your lips to my neck
Like warm steam from black tea
You're my guilty pick me up
With your caramelized touch
Drown me in syrup
I'm addicted to your sugar

You stepped off this earthly dirt too many days too soon.
A brightly shining light burnt out, at quarter till noon.
A fortunate few there to say goodbye
to hold your hand, to sit and cry.
But why?
Why today, why right now
Why is it that your beating life was something nature wouldn't allow
to carry on and flourish
You had a soul to nourish.
So much future cut short
Do not abandon do not abort
this mission you've been given
Please, give us something to believe in...

But I guess it is too late
This sad truth has been fate
All along, your song
Would end.
Now to mend, the hearts that are still here, my dear.
I hear the best cure is time, so I'll sit and I'll wait
And remember this date.
As a day to remember your life and your love
To hope somewhere you're peaceful. Somewhere above.

Stay awake with me
Pretend we're side by side
Smell my hair as I lay my head in the middle of your chest
Ill cross my leg over yours
To get as close as I can
To remind me that you're not going anywhere
Wrap your arm around my body
Rub your thumb up and down the skin of my side as you hold the small of my waist
I'll slide my hand down the side of your face
And feel the scruff off your week old beard
I'll kiss your cheek and breath on your neck
And I'll squeeze your hand to make sure you
stay awake with me
Pretend we're side by side
So I know it'll be okay

The stars in the sky shine
One for ever breath taking moment
I had but a few
Before I met you

The clouds in the sky gather
For every tear filled night
Only a sprinkle or two
Before I met you

The flowers in the fields grow
A petal for every smile filled laughter
A couple would do
Before I met you

For every bright star lit, a cloud to hide behind.
For every stormy night,
A flower to bloom.

You light up my night's sky.
You flood my mind.
And drip petals from my awakened body.
