Three days ago,
we were together.
It was the most beautiful day of my life.
We got high.
We laughed in the shower.
We made love, twice.
We watched movies.
I held you, and you held me.
But, a strange feeling in my heart
coupled with a sickness in my stomach
told me you were only there
to share one last day with me
because you'd be leaving soon.
Now, today, you're gone.

I see a path
of golden light in front of me;
gonna follow it
to where and who I'll be.
Deep inside of me
lies everything I'll need.

I'm lost where no one goes;
a place that no one knows;
the black hole of my mind,
and you will never find
me.

Wishing I could
set off in flight
into the sky.
Become a streak of light,
travel so far,
and marry the stars.
Leave all the troubles I find
on this earth behind.

Thought I'd crawl into bed
with my bottle of whiskey,
but it just doesn't keep me
as warm as you did.

Let's crawl into bed together
and stay there 'til the world gets better.
If it all just stays the same, then
we can make love in the flames.

I'd rather live with the pain
of loving you in vain,
than have you and not feel a thing.

Every time I think of you,
everything feels blue.

Love,
I am in pursuit of you, and
when I finally have you,
our hearts will stay
forever gold
through winters cold
and ages old.
Our hands and lips
will be bound together
by the promise of
tomorrows forever,
and may God, the Most High,
let them stray never.

Always thought
it had set long ago,
but the blushing horizon
shows the sun's just now rising
for me.

My sweet love,
my desert flower,
do you think of me when you kiss him?
Do his lips fit yours like mine?
Like pieces of a puzzle
God made to be side by side?

Does he hold you, touch you, and comfort you
the way you know I could?
Or has he grown distant like a man
who takes you for granted would?

Do you feel like he sets you free
to grow in life and be you?
Or do you feel like he thinks that you should just stay
the way he wants you to?

Do you think he'd fight 'til the day he dies
to give you everything on earth?
Or will he settle for a jewel on your hand,
then expect your heart to never thirst?

Would he want to experience your love
in beautiful, distant lands?
Or would he be content with a small life here
and trap you in it 'til the end?

Do you see blue
when you look into his eyes of brown?
Does his love lift you up to the sky
and make you feel alive?
Or send you, searching, into the arms of others
here on the ground?

Does he fear you leaving?
or does he think you'll stay
just because you owe him
for making a mistake?

Does he feel for you and dream of you so deeply
that he writes of you like this?
Or is his spirit dead? Is he passionless?
Is that what's amiss?

My dear,
my darling dancer,
if any battles of thought
with my questions I have won,
then, my desert flower,
you know what should be done.

My heart is my inkwell.
My pen spreads blood across ivory pages.
It leaves the deepest stain,
so the words will last for ages.

You keep telling me,
"You never know what the future holds."
All I know is,
in the future,
you're the one I want to be holding.

Someday,
I'll build a beautiful home
in a beautiful place
for my beautiful wife.
We'll fill it up
with beautiful children,
and we'll all live
a most beautiful life.

I hate this.
I hate the taste it leaves in my mouth.
I hate the way it makes me feel.

But, I love you.
I love the taste you leave in my mouth.
I love the way you make me feel.

I will wait.
You know I will.

With those curls in your hair,
you've such a beautiful air
about you. I don't care
what you think when I stare.

Come here to me,
ma chérie.
Simple beauty.
Brazen. Free.
You're all I see.

I am always lost in my mind,
wandering afar;
adrift among violet, pink,
and green nebular.
You can find me, frozen in time,
near Sagittarius A*.

I fell into
the incomprehensible depths
of your eyes.
Near-black lakes
I willingly drown in.
Fathoms I can't fathom.
The light from the surface
fades away.
I think here
I'll stay.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I can bury this and move on
just like I do with everything else.
I'll just have to dig
a bigger hole this time.

Never could figure out
just what it takes,
and my heart,
it just aches and aches.

I just want to know
what's inside of your head.
I just want your home
to be here in my bed.

I can feel you;
I can feel me;
I can feel this;
I can feel it all
just slipping away,
like the sun behind the horizon
at the end of the most beautiful day.

When I see you,
dead flowers return to bloom
in my mind.
Bare trees become
vibrant and green,
and sunlight chases
the frost from my soul.

Everything feels new
when I see you.

Your scent in my bed
your voice in my head
your touch on my skin
the taste of your sin
all haunting me
until I see you again
