He Offered
    Her The
            World
She Said
     She Had Her
            Own.

i'm lost somewhere familar
looking at ashy knees in
bath suds with disdain
rose petals sprinkled away

have the loftiest abode
have the airiest dresses,
but i never had auburn tresses
like hers
i was charcoal in
comparison

one of the desert girls;
candles flickered the way
she'd bat her eyelashes
bringing hands to my eyes
i lie on the floor
and i lie to them more
a nightgown hangs the way
the pale moon
did

carpet kissing my bare feet
rosy knuckles grasping a storm
the lake foams over in it's wake
who saves you now
Based off the song and video for End Of The Line by Sleigh Bells. I tried to match the visuals and give it a story.

With meadow eyes come daisies and trouble.
Flowerbeds picked on and whimsiness doubled.
Green green greeny eyes.
Before there was you

There was no need for my love poems
The Robin had no song
There were far less rights than there were wrongs

Before there was you

The sun didn't shine as bright
The morning couldn't escape the night
What I lost I had no reason to find

Before there was you

All my colors were always blue
The old never brought on the new
There was nothing left with nothing left to do

Before there was you

Church bells they seldom rang
Never was there an inner child at play
Never was there a day

Before there was you
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I cant
I can't
I can't



(Try Again)


I can.
Never give up.
She needs help, she knows she does
she doesn’t want help
she wants to ******* fix herself

Without a broken soul
