Smoke Dance
Don't just say sorry
And ignoring me isn't better
Just open your troubled heart
And write me a letter
Won't you open
You muttering mouth
Just say the words
It's okay to get them out
I want to hear
Every single thought
Inside of your mind
We won't get caught
Inside your eyes
I see the stars and the dark
But you just think
The night falls apart
We don't fall or trip
We get dragged to the edge
And as we jump beyond
We kiss the ledge
Never what I expect
Less than my dreams
I don't want a nightmare
But an in between
Just because you are nice
Doesn't mean no trouble
And if you give me one
I'll make it double
It isn't over if we fight
Words aren't the end
It's only over if
You walk away my friend
We are all alone
I'm not at your side
But that doesn't mean
You have to hide
I said I am sorry
That doesn't make it right
But don't you dare
Leave me alone in the night
Someone always dies
On the inside of their eyes
And so they kiss
Their way through the lies
Truth is better than before
A sweeter taste on my lips
But as you touch
The curve of my hips
I spurn your questions
As the giggles burst
Unbidden from my lips
Night are the worst
Let me go I scream
But my heart yearns
For you to hold me close
Swim through my tears
You drive me crazy
In the sweetest way
But I want this to be
A sane and happy day
Everything at once
All the time
Never ever make the choice
To stand in line
Faces in between two hearts
Sometimes it's the faces
That tear us apart
Or maybe the places
I don't really know
I don't really care
Because in the end
The beginnings aren't there
Less that the sky
More than the earth
Sometimes I crawl
Inside my hearth
To feel the warmth
And let it burn
And when it's time
It will be your turn
I handed you my smile
And you loved it then
But now I see
That was all pretend
I am cruel in nature
Your eyes bitter sweet
But I am not a dog
And you my treat
I will beg
Roll over and die
To get the life
Inside your eye
Just break the silence
Chopped in half
Over so soon
I thought it would last
My words are nothing
In your head
Because you don't listen
To what is said
I would rid my world
Of all the support
If you could help me
Bury all my hurt
Dress me in silk
And dowse the fire
Before I catch
And burn any higher
One finger to you lips
And I will still
But you must know
I don't bend to your will
Sometimes before its over
The heat will consume
Every breath
Inside of this room
To fill your lungs
With my own air
And know this world
Is just not fair
Like smoke we dance
At the last midnight
We run to the woods
And hide from the light
I wait in the silence
You so quickly created
I said I am sorry
And my breath is bated
I hide my eyes
Underneath my cloak
But this rope constricts
As if to choke
Just enough left
To fight this battle
I will keep your secrets
As you start to tattle
A lesson given
A lesson learnt
But all my scars
Are done and burnt
Enough to know
You think of me in torment
Even though I thought
You were my god sent
The worst dreams
I ever had
I get them all
From your Dad
He fills my terrors
With evil lies
And my tears
Fill these eyes
I would run to the sky
To find a place
Where no one
Knew my face
Goodbye I kiss
And goodbye I mourn
But each goodbye
Is a Hello in turn
