falling again
a fresh demise
different beginning
but the past reminds
and I beat it back
fanning the fire
but how can a cup contain the sea?
When the waves are so strong and the wind so mighty?

May I regard you as an artist’s work?
You’re just as stark, yet just as inviting
It’s true that to most, your enigma irks
And yet, I sit over you deciding

In what way to decipher this and that
How to go about telling who you are
Putting myself where the artist once sat,
Capturing the mystery of a star

Day in and day out, I go in deeper
I, putting you together piece by piece
And day in and day out, you grow clearer
As a result, I gain pieces of me
Oh, a thing of beauty you’ll always be
Its immortality, a mystery

beyond beyond beyond
beyond pleasure beyond
pain
beyond reason beyond
shame
Eagerness that glistened, chipped and dimmed by isolation
Cracked and idle by fear
Obliterated by resignation
A reputation
that is beyond beyond beyond
beyond friends or family
beyond you or sympathy
beyond morals, beyond today
I am yesterday

In the heat of the day
Under the sun's pretty face
I tried to write a song

Only because you wanted me to
And I'd do anything for you
You know I can't write at all

I dipped my mind in ink
And told my thoughts to speak
But writer's block is such a *****

But I stayed up til the sun
And every breath was a yawn
For you, I won't quit

I thought of every metaphor I could
Wove together rhyme after rhyme
There was no justice I could give
To you, your smile, those eyes
I just couldn't describe

But for you, I won't quit
After so many moons, I came up with this:

What did I do to
Deserve a girl like you who
Is as bright as sunshine,
captivating like moonlight
With love as endless as the sky and a laugh as loud as mine
Brought to me by apricity and sweet serendipity
I'd never seen someone so lovely
Quietly beautiful, you're stunning
Swear I've never loved a human being, even half as much as I love you
I can't remember a **** thing before you
Tell me
What did I do
To deserve a girl like you

In the heat of the day
Under the sun's pretty face
I tried to write a song

Only because you wanted me to
And I'd do anything for you
You know I can't write at all

But writer's block is such a *****

But I stayed up til the sun
And every breath was a yawn
For you, I won't quit

Swear I've never loved a human being, even half as much as I love you
I can't remember a **** thing before you
Tell me
What did I do
To deserve a girl like you

I wanted you to change the world for me
I just wanted to look at things differently
To see what you see and see something new
To open my eyes to something I'd never realized

I wanted you to change the world for me
