My treasures are few
Books to read stories to share
And also there's you
Living in sadness
So you disappeared
Now you left your sadness
With those still
Living hereā€¦

Maddy
She closed her eyes but felt that look
Across a crowded train
Too many people
Not enough moments
No head shakes
No hellos
No capture of a smile
Just that look
That haunts him still
Wonder if he ever found you
Wonder if you found him
Just that look

Marty
Tiny wooden box.
Footprint on the rocks.
Whispers to the soul,
Long forgotten goal.

Where was I my friend?
When your life did end.
Hidden in the illusion,
Drowned in the demons confusion.

Be patient and open thy arms.
Soon I will return to your charms.
The path is dreaded and weary,
For of this world I'm found dreary.

Oh but the forgotten times
We were partners in crime.
The ragged heart searches
Remembering songs of churches.

The times in the hills
Buried by too many pills.
The happy dancing squills,
To this day my heart kills.

The day soon shall be,
By my side so much glee.
Let the dirt to the side move,
And from this world remove.
atop the east hills
an outer edge of sun rays
were seen early this morn
I like the way
The mellow January Sun
Shines by the evening in my kitchen
On my windowsill,
of that indigo night
you took me,
and I haven't
been the same since.

Something about you
makes me want to
be a better man.
I've grown wings,
so I take to the sky.
