This is how the
broken heart
sounds...

It plays over and over
In sleepless nights
you hear -

An unspeakable silence
heavy noises of agony
trigger

no matter how distant
yesterday echoes
delays that ****

compressing a feeling
that reverbrates
painful memories

Hear the sound
of a broken heart?
It never beats the same.
She whispered that she liked the feel
of rough hands in bed,
so I gave up going to college
and became a stone mason instead.

I know I didn't expect much,
except I didn't know much
about who or how.

But with callused skin
and a bed full of sin,
boy do I miss it now.
I've go three sides
To me
theres the edges that
Are diagonal
These are how I'm
Awkward and
Not stable at times
The tip where the two
Lines meet are
Where you
Have connected me
Thank you

Pssstt...
Hey you ...
Yes you,
With the hazel eyes
what if i tell you
i'm planning to
capture the moon
in my glass container
and a little bit of night
and a few stars
a trickle of mid night breeze
will you sneak out with me
will you ??

Nothing hurts more
Than holding your child
As they are falling apart
It kind of tears you apart at the seams
her cheeks are wet
And the sadness is radiating in all directions
But you've talked your talk
Both staring at the ceiling
From the base of the bed in a darkened room
You both soul searched and cried forever
Best friends forever in this cruel world
You know you've been a good mum
When she sits singing and smiling with a new hope twinkling in her eye
It's need a hard evening
I'M GLAD YOU
think there's more to me than this
I'm glad that when the sun shines
it shines right onto your back
I'm glad it darkens your skin
and brightens your mood
I'm glad we are complete opposites
you smile at me and I smile back
you'll never be as neat as me
I'M GLAD YOU
say you love me
I'm glad that you love me
I'm glad you think you do
I'm glad that I'm not sure if I love you
it's easier this way
we stay, ok, we don't, cool
nothing really matters to me
I'd rather be halfway than
completely hindered
I'd rather be halfway than
completely hindered
I'd rather be halfway than
completely hindered
