Lies

Lies

We lie together as we always do .
stolen moments of pleasure in our bed of wood and fairy lights that dance above our heads as halos do for the innocent .
Your heart in chest against my back,
Your breath tickles my neck.

My neck feels the pressure as my hair is trapped in the silver lace ,
My feet are blue,
My palms are red-
and I am guilt .

I could relieve the pressure 'round neck and 'round lip
To others we are pathetically in love.
To me , we are pathetic ,
To you , we are in love .

I could not be failure to you .
And so my neck still feels pressure,
And my lips breathe lies .

Tiny Pieces of Life

Tiny Pieces of Life

She picks up a photograph
And cleans it with her dress
A smile, stolen from better times
Strewn among the mess

A coffee cup with a broken rim
An earring covered in gold
Tiny pieces of who they were
Memories, she can hold

The dream they called their loving home
Lay scattered upon the ground
Her joy becomes her agony
With every piece that's found

A mirror stands without a crack
Reflecting the morning sun
The twister chose to pass it by
Among the damage done

Her future ripped in tiny pieces
Her husband, now lay dead
A day before her birthday
Her wishes turn to dread

She finds the family bible
Its pages wet and torn
All alone she stumbles on,
In silence, begins to mourn

Another day has come and gone
For this lonely widowed wife
She tries to find her way back home
Through her tiny pieces of life

Someday

Someday

Someday
When the stars start falling
And the raindrops stay up in the sky

Someday
When Judas is considered the savior
And Jesus the criminal, who used to get away

Someday
When hell freezes over
And heaven is just another evil away

Then you'll be my prince in shining armor
And I'll be your princess, waiting to be saved

But 'til that day
You can stay out of my life
And pour your lies on someone else

I feel you floating in red, out blue
Those perfect nights were all maroon
Skin on skin, through fingers squeeze
One breath, hold tight, and then release

Three times, three words, ten wants, one need
So tangled, not careful, two hearts to bleed
Over and under, and thick and through
Beneath the waves, beneath the moon

The wick was high, the flame as strong
Taking what we need before it's gone
One love to fly, a bird set free
Confused and veiled, a white bed sheet

I feel you floating in red, out blue
Those perfect nights were all maroon
Skin on skin, through fingers squeeze
One breath, hold tight, and then release
