You and I
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
Beginning, verse one
A web of love in which lies demise
Crying as we realize
Passion shouldn’t stretch so many ways
Yes or no?
Standing in the corridor watching you go
So sorry I wasted your time

You and I are the saddest song I’ve ever known
You and I are the saddest song I’ve ever known
I can listen to all the songs on the radio
I can feel every note beneath my fingertips
I can feel every chord come across my lips
And still you and I are the saddest song I’ve ever known

You and I were supposed to leave this town
Our smiles drift from coast to coast
Still
You and I are what I miss the most

You and I are the saddest song I’ve ever known
I can listen to all the songs on the radio
I can feel every note beneath my fingertips
I can feel every chord come across my lips
And still you and I are the saddest song I’ve ever known

Don’t show me you scarred heart
I assure you it hasn’t bled as much as mine
Don’t give me promises you broke
Please don’t give me another verse
Stay away, stay away
I don’t care what you want
Don’t try to save me from the misery that rocks me to sleep

I’m trying to stop murmuring this melody
And find something that matters to me
I’d like to sing a new song
For this new day
I’ve been hiding in the dark
Weaving a string of sound to light the night

This Anniversary
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
You deserve much better than me
But this isn’t what I had in mind
And I’m last the person who’s there to tell you
That she’s a waste of time

Plastered beneath a blue sky
Free of sighs
Life hands you the worst of bases
Explosive reactions condemn the human races

In the Trees
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
There are angels in the trees
The wind blows but your hair doesn’t sway in the breeze
And I can see you in the distance
I wonder…
As the light casts shadows
I wonder if you’ll ever learn
It’s your turn

It’s darkest in the corners
You’ve done something terrible
I’m horrified, I could never hate you, but
It’s darkest in the corners
Even in my mind

There’s no turning back
There’s no piece of me to give to you
Pull me down, down
Soft and warm, I hold the memories in my head
Let go- they forgot to tell you… you can’t have everything  

There are angels in the trees
Vines entwine, pull me up to Heaven  
They sing to me
I abandoned God, so he wouldn’t abandon me
Whisper, I’m with you now
In the trees

Love's A State of Mind
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
Black and white
Do not hide your light
Do not hide from me; give the world something to see
Down the road
Down the road to?
Down the road to... something…
Imagine the color
Imagine the green
Journey along the seam
Brushed by yellow
Stifle your scream
Frame by frame, roll on
I love you
Nudged aside with a crisp sort of yawn
Oh it’s you, I sang
Silent, expressive
Wind to a stop on the silver screen, the silver lining disappears
If only it was your fears
This is the time you come back home
Home, here, the impossible heap
Little one, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Dance, waltz with me into my dreams
Onto your screens
Schintelle hangs in the air; dew frosts a lady’s hair
And I could dance all night, dream of painted wings and things
Satin flowing, a heart’s gates are lowering
Lose your  
Self
Lose yourself in me
Silent movies are what people pay to see

Hello Heartache
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
Hello Heartache
I wish I could say that it’s nice to see you again
But I’m afraid to say that the last time we parted
I never expected to see you standing at my door again
Tell me old friend why are you here?
Because I’d thought we’d said goodbye for good
But I guess I was wrong
Or I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this song

I’m not going to be your baby doll
I’m not going to dress up real pretty and look fine all night
I’m not going to be your ***** little secret
Because my heart is worth oh so much more than that
I’m not going to be the quiet whisper in your ear
I’m not going to be the one who wipes away your tears
I’m the voice resounding in your head
Telling you just how dead wrong you went

I’m not going to be the sweet dream you return to night after night
Because you left me here
Enveloped in a nightmare
And I don’t understand how you can just stand there and let me put this blame on me
Mix me up a sweet medley

Hello Heartache
I wish I could say it’s nice to see you again
My heart might ache but it’ll never break
It’ll take more than the words that you said to cut me through
I won’t be torn to pieces
Screaming from the rooftops
Never understand exactly what you did to me
Never understand how I got to be here welcoming Heartache back into my bed

“I don’t want to be off with you”
But being off is all we ever do
Off the target, off the market
I’ve stopped waiting for all my dreams to come true
No- I’ve simply stopped dreaming off you
When I’ve finally found something real and something new

Gorged
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
Stars in our eyes
Tears in the sky
I've seen you alone
So it is

Tides pull us

The moon makes you
Touches you, oh so
Becoming
Rise up into me

Soundless
Symphonies
Just like it should be
Trading places
I'll never forget how your face is

For a second the stars aren't alone
Neither am I

For Where the Colors Run
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
For where the colors run
They end at this point and on
But farther is where she belongs
She'd give it all to keep running

Blonde bunnies and their caps and jackets
They hold such special meanings
Dissected and infiltrated
But you can’t take these hearts
Little trademarks labeling
What she knows to love
Feelings sedated, violated
Trespassing in the warren
Life with out you is so foreign
Gold fades to gray
Watch the little bunnies hop away

Wipe away her tears with the sleeves
Please oh please little bunny wont you do that for me?
Little one, to hold you in my arms
To feel your heartbeat
A shoulder to sigh on, warm tears to cry on
Enclose me in you; tell me how to take care of you
I’ll be there for you
I’d give anything
I’d give anything

Eyes of blue, my heart’s melting because of you
The sky’s swirling from grey to red
Blonde bunny, lead her down and down the rabbit hole
Lost in a daze, glimpses of a white tail in a cursed maze
For how long will this dream unravel? Caps and jackets the patchwork of souls

I would forget you
The last thing I want is to regret you
I want to give you my heart
Little bunny you outraced me from the start
Where do the memories end and where does her life begin?
Loosing a little bunny, the day has come when she can’t always win
Butterfly kisses are nothing but misses compared to the wishes
Buried in you

Shade me from the light that isn’t the sparkle of your eyes
Home to me
In my heart you’ll always be
I tend to you and give you me
And forever you render me so completely
Innocently charmed
There’s no line, tears smear, colors blear and we’re running out of time
Side by side is where we belong
Trademarks and labels to guide us along
This poem makes a lot more sense if you've read *Watership Down* by Richard Adams

False Pretenses
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
You came back to me
Rushed through my walls like a mind numbing sea
What defenses? Nothing’s delivered under false pretenses

Falling In My Love
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
Brown wind grazes a cheek
The summer heat is at its peak
Want rolls down my face
Need has put me in this place
The beautiful ferocity of Africa
Intoxicates me
But I wish with all my heart
That I was with you
in Boston on the sea


Go your own way
I’m falling in my love
It’s just another lonely day
But you’re better going your own way

Fall For Me
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
You are always there for me
The moon waxes and wanes but I still hear your voice calling out to me
Washing over me like the smoothness on the rocks
Pulsating vibrating- I can feel your presence in the air
Because you fall I can live another day

A Final Touch
Sydney Reed Sep 2011
I danced in the rain for you
I laughed until my angry, red heart turned blue
I burned my hand on your cold heart
Oh I know it’s cliché, but I loved you from the start
I hate myself for slipping into rime, but still
It’s you and only you I think about
Thoughts of reality drift by from time to time

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you

I breathed in the sharpest air and let out the softest cry
There’s nothing left to save
But there’s always something more to you and I
I always crave your bright eyes
They make the darkness dim
Even as I watch you stare at her
It’s me
I’m imagining touching your skin
Oh my- whatever happened to you?
What made you let go of you and I?

I tilted my head to the side
Tried not to realize
Forgetting you is the last thing I can bear to do
Pressing myself against him doesn’t compare to loving you

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you

I bit my lip and slipped into oblivion
The girl you loved could rise above it all
Now this boy that’s here gets to watch a stranger fall
Staring at a empty slate
Caucasian chalk circle’s drawing me out, sketching a piece of fate
This isn’t my life at all

I drowned in pain for you
I let myself go insane for you
Over a year I’ve wanted nothing, nothing, nothing else
Oh it’s cliché I know, but I loved you from the start
There’s something about the sound of a broken heart
Resounding even though we’re worlds apart
I always crave your bright eyes, and you hunger for my thirst
I’ve never dreamed a demise so dull

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you
And what the world has come to

— The End —
