Feel the beat
Beneath
Your feet
Let it shake
Your bones,
Let the lyrics
Nod your head,
Put you in the zone.
The melody
Taking your mind by storm
Been feeling it
Since I was born
That iridescent song

No talk
                                                                                           Single talk
                                        Double talk
Triple talk


See, I can count.

Like a quote that I cannot remember
Like a song stuck right in my head
A fire once, now it’s an ember
Ash pages of words that were said.

Like a waft that drifts out of the kitchen
Just a hint of the past, so sweet.
I have scars that I know were once stitches
But I only recall summer heat.

Like water, like sand, to hold in your hand
To cradle when it just slips away.
It was art, it was home, not written but shown,
Now crumbled, broken pieces of clay.

I miss it!
What was it?
I miss what I lost!
It was warm, it was cold, it was piercing and soft.
It was something, just something
I feel calling me back.

I’d go to it now if I hadn’t lost track.

and when i see you
with your new love as i pass by
the smile and the laugh
of a man that was once mine
maybe that's just how all of this
is supposed to be

I think of our life
and how special our love was
I worry no time can heal
the loss of what was once ours
I just pray to god that
you won't forget about me.

from the first date we went on
i knew that i loved you
adventures awaited
we shared all of the best views.
i think of our memories
and how they're a full lifetimes worth.

and since you've been gone
i've lost all motivation
the house that i live in
rests on shaky foundation
your love was the last thing
truly keeping me down on this earth.

And as time passes on
i know you'll forget all about me
the love that we shared
just a whisper of memory
you'll move on with your life
and leave me behind in '24

we had plans for our future
and the rest of our lives
ready to take on the world
and whatever problem arise
it just kills me to know
that I can't call you mine anymore

"i am a forest fire
and i am the fire and i am the forest
and i am the witness watching it
i stand in a valley watching it
and you are not there at all"
- 'a burning hill' - Mitski

When I lay with you
My body sings
To your tune
Every beat hitting its mark

I sit on the edge of desire
Tension rising
like the crescendo

You, the perfect falsetto
Harmony to my song
Passion is our conductor
And love is the sheet music
On which its written

his days were few
when shadows came
to bring the tempest rains
to infiltrate a lad not even two

he learned to have a song inside
that danced and skipped along
no matter what that day
or night would hold

so when the sticks
arrived from monsters
with the thing that stood
and poked up right inside

the songs would play to quiet
the tearing pain that broke the door
where they would come to shove
themselves on toddler flesh

how long will he
with gentle life
be robbed
once more
