I'm here, I'm there,
your shadow, your hair.
Around every corner,
sitting on your shoulder.

You're here, You're there.
You've left me traces everywhere.
A scent in every room,
your face on the moon.

When i'm under the stars,
Lights vast like space,
The World shrinks.
Trapped within
Your Bell Jar.
Yet, Again
I Choke.

Your voice still haunts.
It speaks my wants. It pulls me back into,
the place in which I lost you.
I awake in haste, can't feel my face.
I try to feel something, but just feel nothing.
Like yesterday, I'm a ghost.
I fear the darkness.
I'm just a ghost, scared of the dark.

My hearts Work is never done,

These Feelings weigh a ton,

Emotions so strong,

I Taste them on my tongue.

The sorry umbrella slumps sadly toward the ground.
It's body as cold as the wet night air.
The malleable aluminum handle, bent out of shape,
By the wind that's tossed it round,
To and fro like the arms of teenage kids,
And unsure of how else to rest,
With the metallic moonlight singing its melodic lullaby.

**-N.C.

Build a wall, But I will find,
My way through.
Hide in the dark, But I will find,
My way through.

*-N.C.

The water cascades and drips away,
Bouncing off the ground.
As I lay awake, afraid to sleep,
So safe and sound.
What is fear? What is clear?
In the dark, what makes no sound?
All around, the ground is drowned,
A future's never near.
It turns out dreams, are fickle things,
I never knew about.
What I see, is haunting me,
I guess i'll take a bow.

Do you recall that first night? When our love was set alight.
Not those months before of open doors, scared to take the step.
The fall to me is what I feared, I had to catch my breath.

Everything was so in place, and all, right before my face.
You were never scared and always knew, what we had between the two.
How did you see, so clearly, the things…that always evaded me?

It’s scary now how they’ve changed,
and looking back I’m quite ashamed, mistakes I’ve made, and all the wrongs,
Even the stupid rap songs.

But now I know, it’s not the fall, I ever should have feared,
It was the flight, and every night, and all the love we did requite.

Because now it’s gone, left with memories this strong,
it’s hard to let them go.

But now I know, if I had feared, I never would have gotten here,
as close to Love as it was, I still believe there’s more for us.

So maybe I still fear the fall, but never fear the flight,
with endless nights and tiny fights,
Together we could soar.
