“trust me”
the thought of jerking the wheel glazes through my mind
“trust me”
wait, did i hear something?
“trust me!”
that can’t be what i think
“trust me!”
and as much as i really want to,
i run the other way
and i hid from the comfort
“trust me.”
and i have never regretted a no so much

a small gazebo
a ukulele
a kiwi
and two
very much in love

without even knowing

wrapped in your arms
soft notes of adoration
fill the air in the coolness of night
my soul whispers, “stay forever”
and my heart echoes the sentiment

wrapped in your arms
the world melts away
and the only thing that remains
is the twinkle in your eyes
as we reflect each other’s smiles

wrapped in your arms
i never want to leave
hold me closer
so much closer
“30 minutes isn’t enough time
to hold you forever”

how tragic would it be?
to lay my mind to rest?
oh how i want to
some days
sundays
numbness surrounds my being
and feeling wraps around my heart
too much
always too much
but don’t make a tragedy
no one has time for it

twisting and turning
i am pulled in every direction
but mine

expectations stacked
higher than mountains
unable to climb

"no breaking allowed"
is the rule for me
but i might, sometime

how heavy can I be?
written words are the solution
or so they seem
maybe they add to the confusion

where are the brighter days?
because it is getting dark so early
maybe this is only a phase
tomorrow i'll be better, surely

shaky hands seem to be my state
maybe one day i'll be steady
everyday i carry this weight
maybe one day i'll be ready

where are the better days?
sometimes i forget
but maybe by tomorrow's rays
we will be better yet

holding your hand
makes me steady again

being with you
revives my soul

holding you close
is my therapy

calling you mine
is my shelter

my shelter
