I yearn to touch adventure
To smell the salts of sea
To feel the heavy winds
Gliding over me

I long to shout with joy
At my new exciting finds
I long to be content
While the winds be on my side

I will keep a journal by my side
If he can't manage that place
I don't know where I want to go
But when there, natures song just plays

Over and over
Through trees
Through streams

Trickling its melody
All over me

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sometimes I cry
Because of you

Poppies are red
Anemones are blue
You don't always realize
Just what you do

Rosemary are blue
Tulips are red
Why have I let you
Inside of my head

I know how you feel
I've seen this before
If I tell you to stay
You'll sit at the door
And wonder how
I'd ever let you in
Because your insecurities
Were your only friend
For so many years
And now that I'm here
I'm hoping this doesn't quite
End in tears

A set of stars follows you everywhere
And every time you smile in my direction,
They follow me around for a while, until I'm sad.

But you're always their to give them back

There's a halo twisted around your neck
You let me turn and it always snaps
Then goes back into place, so you come to me

I'm the only one who can put it above your head, you see

Are you going to hold me
You swear?
I need a tighter grip on life
Pull me back together and you can stay here
You have always been mine.

I can feel it
I can feel its waves licking the shores
Asking
Begging to be let in

It hurts
My chest is heavy and my body is weak
I feel snappish but slow
I don't deserve them

Him, it, life
But I breathe
Barely, as it hurts
as it always does now

Maybe the fact that no one will help
means that i don't need it
and the tears are prickling
dangerous as hell

as they could give away my position

A noose
That's loose,
A hangman's soup
He eats it every morning
Just to do what he can do

To breathe
He needs
That blistering
That smothers all the skin
That's wrapped around his neck
