With you
 Jan 2014 Drew

Of night time sadness
Vanquished by the thoughts of flowers
Of days filled the shivers of eternal rest
Pushed towards the breath of vivacity  
Of voices melancholy singing
To those of once empty mind and soul
Of certain moments suspended in time
Where nostalgia can shine its way through
Like the cracks in your ribs
Where now and then collide in a brilliant flash
There is the life I want to spend with you.

You're like a breath of fresh air
After living in a busy city
Your touch is smoother
That the finest silk I've seen

I could memorise every contour
Every scar                                                            
Every imperfection                                          
that makes you as real                    
and wonderful as you are
And that would never be enough

You're like water washing over me                  
After a day of hard labour                          
Like watching a beautiful sunset                    
After a rough day at work                          
And catching every fallen star    
So that they can live again

Something as simple                                                      
As the way our eyes meet    
And the world melts away  
As we lift the tips of our lips

And the moment our hands touch                            
And intertwine
That was the moment I knew                                    
I wanted for you to always be mine

Like I had an extension of my soul
And it was an overwhelming feeling
To know so well that after so long

This love                                            
This happiness                        
was truly meant to be

You cannot love her
You're not supposed to love her
You're in love with me

You accuse me of being cold and detached in one breath,
then in the next I'm showing too much affection.
Pick a side.
I'm trying. Really trying. Because I think you're worth the effort.
But you can only expect so much.

You're drunk and I'm "your only girl" but sober "we should see other people" too.
I was fine with the latter until you proposed the former,
Stop playing with my heart.
You move faster and faster, but when I catch up you retreat.
It makes me want to run -- an old habit I'm trying to kick.

I get it, I'm leaving.
My timing couldn't have been worse.
I didn't ask for this, I never asked for you.
But here you are, and here I am.

I'm just a girl, a broken girl, standing here.
I'm not asking you to love me
Just asking you to be my friend
and to give me a chance.

Do You Count?

Did you have a good life when you died?
One worthy of countless reproductions?
Did they make a film dedicated to your memory?
Did it begin with your first hallowed breath?
And end with your satisfied huff?
Did they cast a guy one hundred times better looking than you?
To play the character... Of you?

If not, then what were you doing?
Your whole life, gone, and they didn't even consider a film version of your first birthday?
Did anyone even know your name?
Did anyone even give a ******* were in the same room?
Did they know your middle name?
Why wouldn't they?
It's too bad because it could've been great
It really could have been a good one
A good life
But no
I don't know what you did with it
But now it's gone
****
Zap
Done

You're dead
