you lost me in the white noise
of your voice
deafening down my throat and
when i choked
on your sandpaper soliloquy
all you heard was
static

you're the chord progression i can't complete
and the melody of me and you i thought i knew
an ill fit daydream, obsolete

i'm in a house of one way mirrors
people looking in only see themselves
but all i see is you
     staring
       staring
         staring
                                             at me

thinking circles in your head
your thoughts are running out of breath

cat's cradles to rest your weary head tonight
careful of nightmare claws, melt shadows into
licorice for bitter tongues
     you're getting there,
close your eyes and
jump if you're burning bridges when you get to them
empty shadows and abandoned masterpieces
you are dagger-sharp in fragile places and
blurred at the edges
     miserable melodies condense you into sand.
whisper rusted penny whistle secrets to
the wind, they do not care for spilled trust
all your dreams are diamond dust
the ocean breeze will
blow them towards satellites to
blink like newborn stars
