When will it all
Come crashing down
Around my ****** heels
When will it end
When will I sit
In the hospital again
When will I finally give in
To the nighttime cries
Of demons I try
Not to recognize
When will the light go out
Flicker and melt
To the ground
When will I fall
For the devil I
See in dreams
When will it end
This perfect nightmare
When will too much
Finally become enough
To push me over the edge
When will summer end
When will I end
Again

Love the way
She's so rumpled
Crumpled from the hours
Spent on
The back of the couch

She does so much for me
Birthed me and took me
Out to see the sun
Raised me in a meadow
Of daisies and green
Lulled me to sleep
In the shady wake
Of a weeping willow tree
Those gnarled roots
And twisted tongues
Of emerald flame
Will never not
Be home to me
She is gone
Or perhaps I am
Still there are sights
Of her shadow
Long off in the woods
I am just a burden
On her gentle
Nymph's hand
