Why is your heart broken my love?
I waited days to speak to you.
But words had failed me
I seek solace in your company but receive only romance
I wish I could touch your face and know what kissing the tears of heaven feels like
Let me nurse that broken heart that had gone amiss

You can't have it all
With your hangover on Monday.
You can't have it all
Looking at nothing on TV.
You can't have it all
On Tuesday with enchilada sauce.
You can't have it all
Like shiny rays of sun.
You can't have it all
Said No Account to his
Wino buddy with
The last sip of muscatel.
You can't have it all
On Friday when it rains
In July, Or Monday when
The parking lot carries
The snow in a rush of wind.
You can't have it all
As the door shuts
And you don't have your keys
You can't have it all.
Just go back to sleep.

I know heaven
because I dared to touch
the ground
My truths are warped
but they are my own

I like the Hangman so
because he sums everything I know

I know light
because I drowned
in the dark

The days I was lost
were key
to finding myself

And I know health is a lie
and I know illness so right
and I know right and wrong
lie so close and it feels so nice

I know what I know
and I do what I can with it
I tried not hard to grasp
it simply came along my path

I feel so naive and immature
But you're the only thing that I'm sure
Indecisive decisions that I make
Considering lots of options for our sake

I feel so useless around you
You're so out of my league boo
Don't worry, I'm trying my best baby
To conquer all these anxiety

Step by step we'll reach our goals
Hand by hand with loving souls
I'm trying my everything to think less
Praying every night for our happiness

first wake up
after my first break up

she was my first kiss for love's sake
she left a little emptiness in her wake
but mostly just relief
and opportunity to turn a new leaf

You allowed me to walk
Into your resolute gaze,
Woman,
I had witnessed
The opening of my prison

I'm reminded of when
The Earth was still young
Just rolling in the wind,
Like the way this short poem
Spells out the day we began
Those raining tears
Wouldn't wear off the beauty
Inside your soul
