human life is so weird,
you wake up to an empty bed,
you make a half *** of coffee
because there is no one there to share
it with you,
you stare out the window
and imagine all the couples
sharing the news paper and
a morning cigarette,
you shower,
you get dressed,
you go to a mundane job
that you wish wouldn't **** you,
you come home to a messy flat,
you take off your shoes,
you go to the bathroom mirror
and look at your city filled pores,
you eat dinner,
you go to an unmade bed
that has more pillows than you need
just so it seems like someone else is
sleeping beside you,
you read the book thats been
sitting on your bedside table for
3 months because you just stare
at the word filled pages,
and then, out of nowhere,
you're asleep, dreaming of a different life.

Cole Thomas is a great man
Who refuses to accept the title
Of perfect
But that is exactly what I
Believe he is
Cole Thomas owns the key
To my battered heart
And I believe
He is making it whole

I woke up to hammers playing songs in my brain about the sky
My fingers ****** from holding you in my dreams
Waves of light crashed into the rocky shoreline of my eyes
And my stare bore a hole through the paper I was holding
With no intentions of reading even the headlines

The only story that I know
I remembered the body of a woman
The dimpled smile too simple but complicated
The beautiful dimples on her lower back
It was on earth where I held venus

I woke up the same way as before
But somehow everything was strange
I was exhausted from the way you loved me in my dreams
And the way I'll never see you again
I woke up
And I was too tired to drink my coffee
