I thought by the time the moons left my arms
You'd be gone, too.
I'm always wrong about you.

I want to be like
Billy Pilgrim
I want to walk
Through time
I want to look
At us lying
Together
I want to see us
From the outside
I want to know
Exactly how the
Tralfamadorians
Would see us
I want to see us
In our future
And in our past
I want to be
Able to say
Something
Profound that
Will change it
All but I think
I'll just say
'So it goes.'

Weightless

I know it gets hard
Some days you forget to gasp between sobs
And some days you refuse to
But it's those days the most
When I want to press my lips to yours
So I can breathe for you
And fill your lungs with love
So you can feel weightless again

You left the moons on my arms
At first I cherished the touch
Now I have to carry the dark sky with me everday
It's so ******* heavy

You are the moon on high tide
pulling everything where it needs to be

You are the rain in Washington
drenching everyone's bones

Yet I'm stuck in a nightless desert.

If you want to feel light
Float into my arms
Let me lift you
I'll carry your body
Light as feathers

If you want to feel empty
Whisper to my ears
Let me hear you
I'll store your thoughts
Til you're empty

If you want to feel pretty
Look at my scars
Let me heal with you
I'll save you
Life is pretty

I don't know how to tell you
That I feel worthless
Without telling you that
Your efforts were worthless
