A diamond in my throat
Choking on the beauty I'll never be
A tingle in my toes
The song I'll never dance to

Sweet lullaby on my lips
Fading into a slumber of maybe
Sweat beads on my skin
A dream of falling

Landing in tomorrow
Awake in a nightmare
Flowers in my hair
The thorn in my side

Rarely there imaginary
Heart strings pull the moon
Whispered wishes of light
Kisses in the sky

Sunbeams through dusty blinds
Disheveled and unruly
Worries locked in pillow cases
Don't forget me

Today I will wrap in warmth
As the sunlight kisses my skin
My heart desires a taste
A taste of today

Today I will drink in chance
Embracing new
Taking a leap of faith
Could be will be

Today I will walk with grace
Stepping boldly
Eyes wide open
Unknown is a destination

Today I will smile truth
Radiating love to those who stare
A piece of a shared moment

Today I will love with hope
Loves fire smothers under the weight of future
Flames need fanned

Just be

The chance you never gave me
The words I never got to say
You shut me up with conclusions
You blocked me out with ignorance
Never truly acknowledging my existence

Wasted smiles on a fool
Too much ignorance put into a name
Sick of saying sorry
You're the one to blame
The static in my voice
Shame falls down like rain
A **** monsoon

Dictations of worth
Dismissed time
Focusing on difference
Wandering souls on a path with no direction
Left out in the frost
Missing the sun

A language of change
Shedding burdens
Trust falls with no safety net
Catch me

Your breath stained my skin
Your fingertips became a continuation of my spine
Your eyes told a story that your mouth denied
A bittersweet love song
I melted in the lyrics

I looked for your horizon today
In the shower I washed in your energy
In my coffee I craved your taste
Wrapping myself in your melody
Hovering in a state of denial

I saw your smile in a field of purple henbit
I heard your whispers in the air
On the wind I floated
My hair tangled
Searching for you in the shades of cascading sun

The hum of your heart beat echoes
Like the tread of my tires pounding on the pavement
You carry me to freedom
Like the image in my rearview and the miles ahead
An adventure that needs no map
I'd follow you anywhere

Tonight I'll wrap myself in a memory
Goosebumps linger on my skin
A craving that will have to wait
Until then

Lightening illuminates the southern sky
Tears fall down like rain
Your musk fills the air
Thunder rumbles in my heart

My soul mourns for the past
For the memories that have fallen
For the loss of gravitational pull between us
The sun hides behind painted on clouds
The storm rages

Your rain is bitter cold
Not like the showers we once danced in
Not like the damp between our lips
Our rhythm is out of sync

Breaking open the sky
New developments in the weather
Clouds crack apart
As heart strings pull together

Rain drops on a metal roof
A melody of what was
A song for the stars
A lullaby to end the rage
I'll kiss the sun tomorrow

Your stare, your burning glare
Never looking at me
Examining my soul
Your stare leaves me feeling naked and exposed
Your eyes like a mirror
Mesmerizing, haunting
In your eyes I cannot hide
A reflection of what I have buried

Skeletons in my closet
Flame flickering in my soul
Thick mud, bare feet
Moving through life without living
Your light shining at the end of the tunnel

Twisted branches of my mind
Whirlwind of spirit
Captivated by a feeling
Captured in a moment
Drowning in a dream

In the fogginess of dawn
In the haze of today
In the hope of tomorrow
Your eyes dance upon the horizon
Glimmering in faith
Forthcoming truth
Questioning all
My reflection
