Please when I call
do not hesitate
for every moment with out you
I am truly lost.

I never knew
I was such a coward
that I couldn't say the ****** thing out loud

but when you shut the door
and walked inside
I said it to the night instead.

Shot after shot
I’m already down
How am I supposed to stand
When I can’t find steady ground
Heart break seems in my cards
So just let me down

In a dream
you took all the poems
I wrote for you
and turned them into sound

how you played out my heart
so lovely it was
trembling on the air
you spilled my emotions all over those cords

talented hands
creating and undoing
from their tips sang
my weak words into everlasting song

-Katherine Baldwin-

hey guys.
are you sad?
think of the ghost butts of your past.
When you feel all alone
ghost are there with
their butts

I can't send you a valentine
but I hope you know
that today
(like most days)
you are on my mind

I miss you
I really hope you find love
I know we will never be together
And I'm fine with that
but please be happy, that really is all I want

Once you find her
I'll be sick with jealousy
Of course
but I'll smile, and give you advice as always
oh and I'll hate her so much

but I'll get over it
                                                I'll get over you



                                                          ­                                                I hope.

Desperate I tried to keep you
while the time ran down to my feet
hopeless I raged
I fought
how I cried

by time stops for no man
let alone me
so soon you were gone
all we were
is now
a memory

I can never tell what your thinking
Or know what your going to say
I pray for your laughter
But run into bombs on the way
Never trust a man who's eyes can't stay the same.

If you see me shake
as I walk towards you
just know
that it is not the cold

So when I hesitantly lay my hand on your shoulder
and pull back quickly
know that it is just the fear
that I will never will be able to let go

We
are slipping in to a rhythm
a natural flow

I know what you will say
and you know that I know

Come on over baby
It will be fine
just fine.

I promise, that if we have just one night together
I will forever let it go

right where
you stand is
always
not close enough for me

I love the way you hold my hand
and your bad jokes
I love when our matching noses touch
how you laugh when I say kitten

I love you in the morning
with your pretty sleepy eyes
I love you when you say
please give this show another try

-Katherine Baldwin-

Every broken line, every fissure.. I want to smooth
Every single tear you’ve cried I want to make up to you
Every scar you have, every broken bone I want to heal
Every sob let out, every shoulder hunch I want to shine a light on

I want you to see how beautiful you are to me
I want to show you how far I would go for you.
I want you to stand as tall as the man you are to me
I want to crumble and fall and go through it all with you

How I would love to have a family with you
How I would make you breakfast, and kiss you goodbye
How I would be so lonely when you make business calls
How I would curl up to you and we would read
How I wouldn’t ever have to hide how much I’m in love with you

I wont go back
to not saying how I feel
silence might be nicer to your ears
but it breaks my heart

I'm sorry for all the small talk
but I reach for anything
grasp at all straws

I miss you
I miss you
I...

I don't understand you
you move so strange to me
every word is a wonder

Kindness pours out of you
in waves I can't sail
I've never been to the sea

So many times I've been presented
with a shinny apple of love
but it always fell apart in my teeth

You are different than the rest
A true knight
who so wholly loves me

I know you think your name
is oh so plain
but it tastes divine on my lips

There is a painting
called; In Bed The Kiss
Hanging in a private collection
by a famous french painter
Toulouse-Lautrec

My heart leap the first time I saw it
because there we were
I'm sure many lovers have pictured themselves in that painting
but the resemblance is to canny for me to dismiss it as anyone else
it can't be just coincidence
It's enough to make me believe in re-carnation
thrilling to know in a past life
you and I
were captured forever
in bed
kissing.

If I told the story of what happened here
and you went next
people would think we were talking about two different events

I just wanted you to need me
and then I let that get so big that
I needed you so bad I lost it

I still crave you
even if that craving comes
with a good dose of hating myself

I know
you want to pretend like it never happened
and you jump if I get close

So what if we never were physically intimate
I have not ever in my life had eye contact
as intense as that

Maybe I have to always be wanting something I can't have
If I'm happy with what I got
What is there to anguish about?

I say everything you want me to say
I trip head over feet to do it all your way
