We were very cute
the way we did those couple-y things

those wonderfully cliche couple-y things

We were very mature
the way we talked about those things

those big important things

We were very close
when we did those other things

those perfectly sweaty things

I was very sad
when you commenced those leaving things

those "but it's midnight" leaving things

I like our things
even the not so perfect things
-"This"-
I don't want our things
to change

So
Please
Stay.
How can I be so selfish?

My Sweet Spaceman
where are you now?
Trying to see between
those little glows
that speckle the sky;
similar to those
no longer in your eyes?
I just want to see
the world in which you're lost,
so take me please,
I'll pay the cost;
I'm sure it's less
than the price I pay
for the half-assed smile
you gave today;
I miss you babe,
it's been too long,
so let me save you
from this wrong,
because believe me when I say
I'm alone in this crowded room
while you run around the moon.

*And you said you never wanted to be an astronaut

Falling
falling apart
and not knowing
never knowing
how to help your heart
Or how to heal
heal your mind
not even trying
never trying
for fear of what you'll find
Those shadows dance
behind your eyes
frighteningly similar
oh so similar
to those of thunderous skies
So you listen
And you can hear your pain
***** your skin
your delicate skin
like cold acid rain
Caught in your own tears
lost
so lost
in your hurricane of fears

It's time
to go inside.

I'm hopeless
-ly
hopeful
that this
will
last
longer
than
my
last
forever

because
infinity
has never seemed
so enjoyable
and
I
have
never known
the unknown
to be
a
desirable
destination

I'm hopeless
-ly
hopeful
that someone
will
hold
my
hand
because
I
can't see
with all these
stars
in
my
eyes

And blind has never been better

I think that
the only reason
I fell asleep
that night
was because
your breath
became my lullaby
And the rhythmic thump
of your strong heart
was louder
than anything
my head could conjure

I think that
the only reason
I stayed asleep
that night
was because
you were all I could dream of
And you are
the farthest thing
from a nightmare

I think that
the only reason
I wanted to
wake up
that morning
was because
I knew
you would be there
And I was
right

Sometimes I wish
that holding hands was enough
for both of us;
I wish I didn't need more talking
and rarely
I wish you didn't want more "walking";
I like walking
I just wish that we talked more

Sometimes I wish
you hadn't made
all those friends;
I liked when I was your world,
actually, I was so much your world
that I didn't like it;
funny

Sometimes I wish
that it didn't seem like
you need my friend to come too,
because I guess me being part of 'us' isn't enough
sorry
Maybe if you weren't always with him
we wouldn't need another girl for "balance"
He doesn't want to third wheel?
Neither do I

Sometimes I wish
that I was stronger;
So that silly things
like my wishes
didn't make me feel this way

..But only sometimes...

Push my back against a wall
and yell until you're hoarse;
Slap me around,
knock me to the ground
and kick me 'til you're spent
Pound through my thick skull
and tell me how I'm blessed

Now shoot me
with an empty gun;
Scare me into remembering
what I've got to live for;

*everything
