I was never perfect
I can be the calm after the storm
rage when its about to transform
I am a mess in its clearest form
but I'm not here to misinform
all I ever wanted is to let go of the norm
I was never perfect
but I can be madness in its unconditional form

They said it was passion
but there was no compassion
just an inglorious fatal attraction
that only wanted the satisfaction

take
three bites of cereal
to calm the burn
in the pit
of your stomach
float
on

I would never walk away
You can count on me like an extra toe,
Nothing you could ever say
Would make me say no,
To anything you'd ask of me
From pond to lake to the sea,
I'll always be your tug boat
The most reliable coat,
Against the elements
Always love you in +1 increments,
From the first to the last
From the stern to the mast,
On land and ocean
Endless is my devotion,
Anchor to your heart
Home to your soul
An always burning coal,
And the easiest part
Is, all you've got to do for this,
Lie, pretend, deceive, so easy it is
To act like you care
And I'll be as dependable to you as air...

how lucky am I
to have loved so deeply
that in losing it
I lost myself

how lucky am I
to have felt lies so truly
that I believed
I found myself

I have firmly believed that life is music
And love is the song.
Now knowing both intimately
I wouldn’t say that I was wrong.

I used to love his genre his style his swag.
Now I think it just sounds ridiculous.
I want something else now for me
I want something so delicious.

My boy HDT told me to go
with the beat of a different drum
And I think I have now
Those odd beats I’ll get me some.

It’s funny how our tastes change.
It’s funny how we used to be.
What used to move those mountains
Now doesn’t do a ******* thing for me.

I can never pretend that I don’t still love you
Honey bun you know I do
But I can admit that I don’t want you
Took me this long but now it’s true.

You’re only just a warm body
Someone I used to love and you're here
But it’s not the same, oh my darling
You ain’t ever gunna get another tear.

I think our timelines are twisted
I think our timing is just wrong
I still think love is the music
But Thank God you’re no longer my song.

You were there
So close
That I could feel
Your breath
On my neck.
Touch
became instant
Gratification.

You were there.
So close
That anytime we touched
it was a spark
Leaping out from the coals
because it was not
Ready to die out
and that made me
have hope
that maybe
I’m not entirely
Opposed to fire
As I thought I was.

Because Fire
Rages
Consumes
Cares nothing for what has happened
What could happen
Or what will happen
and there’s something
So entirely ****
About that concept.

And you made me
Forget about
all the ****
that happened before
and all of those ghosts
that used to haunt me
Were silenced that night.
and I thought
If you could do that
You could probably
Do anything.

Circumstances, time and people
they change
Feelings will fade
Love will stray  
Everything is ruled by change, but you
you're here stuck with a broken
clock, no more tick tock
a broken heart that
won't beat no more
and a broken soul that haunts
you till your sanity is no longer whole.
