how do I channel
all of these emotions
into words and sentences
that you can understand

you all remind me
so sweetly and fondly
that you will be there
forever and ever and always

would you comprehend
the notes my heart plays
that beats unsteadily
all over the place

to me they feel concentrated
as they pound through my limbs
like its beating away
and leaving me heartless

as beautiful as you are
and as ugly as I feel
it is not wonder you left
that you had to leave

*Come Back
Is the rhythm my heart beats
Stay Here
Is the hope it abandons

I don't have to let go
But it hurts to hold on
I can't find a middle ground
My thoughts don't make sense

How can I sort out
All that lies inside
Separate what to think and feel
Into piles to keep or discard

I swallow my pride
And **** up my tears
As my head rattles around
It will be okay

I told you time, and time again
It is going to be alright
We have done harder thing before
Its a road less traveled

But we always make it to the end
We walk together
Hand in hand
Tell me when to stop

We can go slow
We can take time to dance
To make our mark on the trees
So we can find our way home
