The hot sun looked like rain on my skin
Pooling on my skin
Each step was one closer to the end
I did not know you were waiting for me
But you waited patiently

I carried my bag in the same way
That I carried my sins
Looking so forward to laying them down
for at least a little while
But I walk on, holding tightly
To all I had

But I reached you, stopping my steps
Separated by black bars twice your height
You looked at me with bright blue eyes
And a silent mouth
Holding out a bowl of blueberries

Not only is the sun rain on my skin
But rain sprinkles from my eyes
How can someone so small
Someone who does not understand me
Love me so well

You and your sister
You gave berries but took my heart
Never can I forget those small hands
Nor those glowing eyes
Or the taste of your sweet blueberries

Bend over back wards for him
Basically I would break for him
Because he broke so many walls of mine
They turned to piles of sand

What I would give to be next to him in that van
To be the focus of his
Camera lens
He always wore a scarf around his neck

Untie me, unwind me, pull me away

We could be fine honey
Just you and me on a drive honey
Down a sunset highway on a crisp
Summer night

Windows down with the wind honey
Don’t you think it’d be great
Babe
I don’t worry about the night
Your skin is glowing on mine

The sun feels cold without you
Even the warmest days feel like winter
My heart pumps ice through streams down my arms and legs and up to my head
But you put it there

The sun feels cold without you
Wrapped up in feelings that were never mine
I used to dream in constellations near the warmth of our stars
But you dropped me off somewhere in-between Neptune and Pluto

The sun feels cold without you
When I was with you I dreamt in colors and thought in hues
Now I don't even speak in blue
There's only black and grey
You even took the dazzling whites

The sun feels cold without you
Today it's 75 degrees without a chance of clouds
But today, like yesterday, I'm swimming in my blankets

It’s twenty past one in the morning
My eyes are weary and this body aches
I ache for a taste of your lavender
Purple mists in your eyes draw me
In like a busy little bee
Working tirelessly to please you
Like the good little thing I am

Please you I must because thats what
You told me I’m worth to you
Worth something is better than
Worth nothing when you’ve been thrown
Away into a dark place with no
Headlights to illuminate the black path
Ahead

Look forward. Look straight.
Straight as an arrow I must be
I cannot falter for I am too scared
To see the pavement meet my knees
That would mean I fell
You won't be there to pick me up

I’m there for you but you’re not there for me
I’ve always possessed patience but when
It comes to you, you have only possessed me
And you treat me like the things you possess
They have their use now and again

Please tell me why I’m up at thirty past
We sleep at once but not together
My bed is empty and yours is full of the secrets
You decide to hide from me
Why am I up at thirty one past? Because
These words are for you


Forget me. By forty past I will have forgotten you.
