let's go back, you   &    I
for a momentwhetherwe
are who we are or who
we were then, with your
scotch bones and my hair
in the wind like a hundred
p a g e s out of the bible,
you               &                 i
and the parts of you that
loved me then come out
to play, to feel my two
years on your two years
as thin as breath, thick as
all the words we left
unsaid, that fall like
spoons in empty cups
lost in the chatter of
apology after apology
in smiles dropping like
warheads, but our silence
overcomes the ancient fights,
strings and tangled veins
all my lies are in order
all the things I only
sort of
told
you


i have dreams about confessing.

Those mixed signals won't help this heart of mine
They're like traffic lights around the corner
Red, green, yellow
Yellow, red, green
Please tell me what to read

Now I'm wasting my time thinking of you
Where should I go, I don't know what to do
I wanna learn how to let you go from my thoughts
But there's this part of me that still hopes

Or maybe that traffic light doesn't really exist
It's just all in my head running like a bandit
Stealing my brain, bringing pain

Assuming that you would love me too,
I will now stop.
I will now learn how to lose grip,
How to remove you from my heart bit by bit.

Please forgive me my failures
And my tendency to cry
When there is nothing sad about here,
When everything is alright.
I cannot explain my sadness.
I cannot explain my tears.
I cannot explain my reason for
Inventing irrational fears.
I do not hope you will accept them,
For I still fight them everyday.
I only wish that you be brave
And decide not to run away.

I find myself constantly reminding people
How much I love them
Because when my soul parts my body,
My bones won't be able to tell them.
