Hello, little black bird, perched on my shoulder.
Back again, pecking my mind for answers.
Searching for worms in my head is like
looking for water in a sun soaked wasteland.
Some people love to run and then come back, and then have no idea what to do next, so they repeat the process.

Every minute I will wait for you,
I am sure you will make it worthwhile,
Because I am truly entirely yours.

Last night was the first time we got drunk,
the first time your hand glides down my arms,
fingers lace with mine, palm kissing.
The first time you put your head on my shoulder,
not because you're sleepy nor tipsy,
but because you want to be closer to me.
And the first time I heard you breathe on my neck,
god I was hooked! that deep calm sound
and the warmth of it quivers within.
I'd drink forever if it meant you'd never stop.

You'll be going off the deep end  soon
I can see it in your motion
It's as sure as the influence of the moon
As it pulls and tuggs on the ocean

That look in your eyes
Has me so worried
I can see past your disguise
But your keeping the lines blurry

I wish I could stop the cycle
I wish I could stop your spin
But it's almost primal
The situation you're in

Don't put up your facade
From me you have nothing to hide
I know how far up that mountain you've clawed
I know the tears you've cried

I can hear your silent scream
It echoes in my head
I know what it means
The darkness wants fed

I wish I could stop the cycle
I wish I could stop your spin
But it's almost primal
The situation you're in

Just remember in your dark abyss
I'll be right by your side
My love please don't dismiss
In me you can always confide

I'll be that shoulder you can lean on
That hand to grasp
Together we will see the dawn
As onto each other we clasp

I wish I could stop the cycle
I wish I could stop your spin
But it's almost primal
The situation you're in

I'm in love with eyes
that can show me their soul
I'm in love with hands
that hold me tight but gently
enough to make me want more
I'm in love with the smiles
that show multiple emotions
I'm in love with that walk
the one that shows that
there was a chip on their shoulder
but they've brushed it off
I'm in love with that stand
The stand that shows
that they've tried so hard
and they've come so far
I'm in love with the perfectly imperfect
And that is where my heart will stay
In love with yours
I'm in love, but I've lost it
It ran from me
hurt and lost
It ran and
I'd do anything to have it run back
or to run into it again

Make me feel like somebody new,
Somebody that wakes up and doesn’t feel as though they convey the weight of the world
on their remarkably un-muscular shoulders.
Make me feel like somebody who does have muscular shoulders,
at least then, the daily scuffle may feel somewhat manageable.
Allow me to wake up, make up and persevere with my day.
Let me feel as though every word that emanates from my mouth
was not the wrong thing to say.
When the tone of my voice seems stupidly louder than intended,
and I push away people I’m lucky to have befriended.
I’m not always like this.

Shoulder blades collapse;
Burdens seemingly falter.
Let the hours beware.

The last time I cried on your shoulder
was when I knew I loved you
But tonight there's no shoulder to cry on
when I think of all we've been through
Jodey Ross Jun 2015
If ever you need a shoulder to cry on,
I'm always here.
If ever you need someone to talk to,
I'm always here.
If ever you need to be proven how much you're loved,
I'm always here.
If ever you need to see a will to keep going,
I'm always here.
Going on a binge here. Whoops.
