Thank you for today
And tomorrow
And the day after that
And the day after that
And the day after that...
I adore you

sometimes I fidget
uncomfortable with the weight
of the words
that course through my veins
unable to rid myself of the itch of the need to write

No parent should outlive their child
And I'm sorry I almost let you

nothing is the same with the lights on
your face can't hide anymore
and there are earthquakes in your hands

vulnerability means something different now
you're exposed and sometimes it feels right
sometimes it feels like nothing

nothing feels like the day you said hello
and goodbye
all at once

nothing feels like sleeping together
together
but so alone

leave the lights on
nothing feels like the shadows after you left
nothing feels like you

and vulnerability means something different now
and i see your face every time i catch a stranger's eye
and i wonder if i turned the lights on

would they see my face
would they see my past
would i feel something again

nothing is the same with the lights on
and everything feels like you
everything feels like you

Lavender makes me sick
Vanilla makes me cringe
Set me free from olfactory memory
The smell is much too thick
I don't know
it worked in my head

Shingled roofing caves in quick, the wallpaper all peeled back
The devil walks these halls
The sinner paints them black

It's been a long time coming, the end to all our ends
The night covers misguided deeds
The moonlight shadow bends

To which do I owe the honor, the joy or haunting dreams?
The guardian stands upright
The sunlight through it streams
I don't usually like to rhyme in my writings
But in any dialogue in my dreams/nightmares, there's always rhyming

What's it like to be so small?
So lowly and so small?
You'd know better than anyone

Inspired by my favorite lines from "Midsummer Night's Dream"

"How low am I, thou painted maypole?
Speak.
How low am I?
I am not yet so low
But that my nails can reach unto thine eyes."
