#meraki
Wet still holding the memory of night slowly wakes me
My Meraki grows old with you, caring so curious to see
Love attends your needs: rich, creamy selfless, we undo
Creative in a deep I left a piece of my soul inside of you
You are my work & weave, shapes deliberately too slow
Feel the dips and curves in you--sits inside you to grow,
We are there present in a small offering touching whole,
You water me that rises from the roots in words that toll
My interior-you leaves an imprint in a soft way of living
What do you want to do in your precious gray of giving,
Silent as the stars, you invite, me coming back to a home
Open up to me in the yawning--I know you like to roam.

When we were walking late that night,
do you remember? We were hand-in-hand,
and we got talking for a while.
Do you remember? You said you could take me to the promised land,
and then I looked you in the eyes,
and I held you in my arms. (Yeah I held you in my arms so tight)
I said I promise you that until the day I die
I'll never let you come to harm! (No I'll never let you come to harm)
[Bridge]
Darling, that night it felt so perfect.
Do you remember? like our love could never end.
Like all those years of pain were finally worth it.
But next time I saw you, you told me, let's just be friends.
- -
Those four words never hurt so much!
I'm still longing for your touch.

[Chorus]
I know you told me...
that you don't want me. (No you don't want me)
So why do you hold me...
when I see you in my dreams?
(When I see you in my dreams)
you've got me feeling like I'll never be alone.
Like you'll always be right here with me.
I'll always have you by my side.
But in the morning light when I wake up on my own
I realise that things aren't what they seem.
Why do we lead these double lives? (Ohh-oh)
I know you told me... (Ohh-ohh-ohh)
that you don't want me. (No you don't want me, no no no)
So why do you hold me in your arms so tight
when I see you in my dreams?
- -
[Coda]
(When I see you...)
it kills me to think how...
you don't remember.
(You don't remember.)
Tell me where do I go now?
I don't remember how it feels to be alive.
I don't remember.

In the darkness I lay,
crossing the threshold bathed in dreams,
I enter the moonless midnight of my mind
Drifting in a sea of melancholy,
its Elysian depths filled with
sublime words beyond black and white.
The meraki tides wash me unto a twilight shore
where a forest of eternal autumn stands.
Deep, dark, and lovely.
Inside, a strange world I must venture,
finding places once forgotten
and seeking secrets hidden within shadows.
The cracks and spiderweb shatters
within my being, fan out like a map.
A guide for the wanderlust;
the essence trapped within my veins.
Upon a soft breeze
carries the whispers of my soul.
Rustling my heartstrings
like wind through chimes and into my bones.
Keeping at bay the demons that lurk
and the ghosts that haunt.
Wandering through these dark woods,
set ablaze, I roam through that ethereal chaos.
Upon that place I stand.
My Midnight Soul.
