south for the season
leave with no reason
'cept the feelin'

wasn't here before
at home though
McKinley Mar 2017
once I find where I left my spine
I'll stop holdin' up the line

make myself a deal
let you go for real

You all waitin
so am I

I'm not ready.
truth ain't easy.

can't say you understand
when i dont know myself
McKinley Nov 2016
does my touch ever
wake you
take you
to how it was sometime before
In the air
am I there
just how it was somewhere before

but that was before there was
how it wasn't working
how it wasn't worth the hurting


now this is how it is
and how it was lost
McKinley Jan 2016
Our signal is poor
when indoors
ceilings caught us off
we are left with small thought.

When revealed to the sky
and looking into it's enormousness
we taste the universes endlessness
outside
there we think large

You spoke of another time
of true love
of true comedy

of carelessness
of bravery

of less fear
  and more care.

Listening to you was a walk along narrow water
with a steady start
but it got denser

Now if spoken
is of prison
of medicine
of sleeplessness
of loneliness
of the cage
of the age

youre suppose to always be there.

cannot explain the reason behind
why I'm so certin there isn't someone out there who's "mine"
Probably
my destiny
wasn't to be a lover.
therefor why would the creator
waste time on making my other?
Along the way I must have made a mistake
because now and forever I'm cursed with having a void I cannot shake.
If I come to my senses long enough I see
the selfishness that comes from trying.
Because promising my love to the wrong face
and waking in the wrong bed
only assures me that this lifestyle is something that isn't for me.
also it leaves me feeling guilty
for depriving a pair from uniting
all for the sake to relearn something I already know.
all the while, in all I do, it comes from a place true.
I have hope despite my disappointments.
