When in love,
you will notice
that you do not rise
like a brilliant sun
or a victorious knight.
When in love,
you will notice
that you fall.
It isn't the fall that kills you,
though,
it's the landing.
When in love,
you won't notice
whether it's warmth and comfort
or pain and hurt
until you are no longer falling.

The infectious laugh
of a young man
who brings cheer to all
without notice.

One plays the acoustic
with the potential of a genius,
writing lyrics
as thoughtful as himself,
but he is blind
to his magnificence.

You told me
you would never forget
as you took the train
and you left,
but you forgot
that promise too,
not a lot
but still untrue.

Never trust the someone's hug,
that small, erratic embrace.
It hides all their intentions
behind an unseen face.

I am locked in the wine cellar,
supposedly punished,
yet I may easily quench my thirst
and forget my pain
by drinking from the barrels.

It's raining,
it's pouring,
this waiting is boring.

They're crying,
they're mourning,
And now I am dying.
