Have you ever known me to hold my silence?




I call into the light night.
               I beg for the sky to pull down its shades.

   Pain like this shouldn't be painted on the light purple sky.

Anger like this shouldn't fall so gracefully, so pure, so...
                                                                                          


                                      clean.






I try again. This time
                    Closing my eyes.
                              

                                I paint my sky dark,
                        forgetting the holes to heaven.
I let my anger fall heavy mixing with all the mistakes
                               I've brushed off like dust.





But when I open my eyes
nothing
has changed.




And as the soft wind
wanders around me without a care.

I swear I hear it tell me

                                                                                "some things never will."

its easy to see where ive been.
i leave trails of crooked prints.

the dust i kick up take the form of the lost hope.
it hangs in the air waiting for me to come back.

my long lost cries that shattered the air are left as pieces,
they disgues them self as petals that gave into the wind.

quite eyes can see me running.

its easy to see where im going.

Black and white,

Only at first sight.





I play carefully,
fingers gliding
  all ways cautious not to strike the wrong note.


Small steps change everything.
Small steps make everything.


You didn't come with a map to follow,
a melody that would sing me home.


So, I follow my heart.
I follow what you whisper to me,
the gentle hush.



Tension tugs with the tight twist of my fingers.

You ease me back, untangling my tight thoughts.

Time is always changing because we both know its
nothing
and
Everything
all the same.


I play by ear, full of fear that i'll forget our song.


Without you,
Im silent.
Without me,
you are just black and white.

Your eyelashes send a strong winds,
waves sail across your blue ocean eyes.

I hung  wind chimes off of your heart while you were sleeping,
it tells me which way your mood is swinging.

I try to sing along with the tune, but its quickly lost in the night.

You sing it back to me,
you join in my delight.


We dance quickly across the line we've tried to pretend doesn't exist.
We know what has happened cant be fixed.

Last nigh,
when I laid down to sleep,
I found a wind chimes hung on my heart.

I felt a warm breeze across my neck.




Was it you?

He spins words like thread,
using them to sew
lies, which he wears
as  his cover.But don't
worry,I wanted you to
spin your words into
lies, so I could use them as my cover.

Sharp like scissors you cut her with words.

Your anger strikes her, but softly,
But to  me they are far worse than the excuse.


Silence is your only excuse.



Please, remember her brown curls and baby face when you  put her in your place.
Friendship like this is hard to replace.

Your feet have walked far distances we can't see.
None of us are what we used to be.

Feel, and don't forget.
For sometimes, words unsaid are what we regret.

Come today, my love,
I long to linger in your laugh.
Come today, my love,
tell me the tale that cant be told.
Come today, my love,
handle my hollow hands with care.
Come today,my love,
Let me memorize the memories we make.
Come today, my love my patience is short, but you surely know that.
For you, my love,
Linger in the laugh of the tale of my hollow hands memorizing memories that will come with patience.
