At the core of
the fire
there is ice
You've decided its there,
But you don't really care
Because
you're warm right now
And
in the end you will freeze
I guess its the relief you receive
*Was it worth it?

I have been devout and without
an avid follower of me
and nowhere found
the bed without a flower
after breaking ground
I grow
to glisten though
my distance closing
gentle breath show
my distance from the sun
there have been no answers
from doubt
i bleed and am blind still
the show we share
shadows forgotten
paths run walking or grown
the power is all
to quiet moments trust
to meet in far off oceans
where watching a sense
quite like fantasy
meets poetry and motion.

My love,
I will never enslave
your red, hair
in a jar of (firefly light)
because upon my sleeping
all the firefly's I have caught
(quit breathing
the holes in the lid perhaps too small)?
or was I too late to release them?

So I will never enshroud
your scarlet glow
(so wherever you may go)
your freedom
breathe, (breathe).

Home, don't tell anyone
I'm gone,
I got tired of hearing about
the slow recession of everything.
I got tired of being around.
Pockets full of change and
if I lost my wallet,
who would worry?
Home is where I want it to be,
anywhere, it's where I keep all my fears.
It's where I am when I need trouble
simply existing.

Home, don't come in my shelter in shelter,
I've got posters waiting to fall down;
Like my figures are disappointed,
my banners are crumbling.
I'm covered in a film from the heat.
I'm sleeping in my skin,
if I can make it in time.
Where I want it to be.
Where I keep all my fears.
