as a kid
there's nothing
like wasting away inside a tiny
room
sitting on the backrest
of the couch
looking out the window
and seeing her
tread through the rain

a red umbrella covers
her.

Mother

she's going back
to the liquor store

We are all sad, broken, shy
Caught up in one boggling goodbye:
That was not said, or heard
Or meant.

We are all shy, broken, sad
Counting at night what in those days we had:
What was stolen, taken, sent
No good meant.

We are all broken, broken, broken.

I didn’t realize
I had fallen in love
Until I noticed
My eyes straying
From the clouds
And onto you

Hate is bred from love
That’s what makes
This world of ours
As miserable
As it is

I hear you crying sometimes
Muffled cries of agony
When feeling in itself is a crime
During the darkest of nights
When silence is the loudest sound
And black is all that’s in sight
Do not hide your tears
For I will always
Be here for you, my dear

I never thought I’d say this but I want you back
I know I didn’t love you right and I’m so sorry
It’s just that my brain just wasn’t thinking right
I just wasn’t okay
But now I’m in a good state of mind
And I’m doing fine
But you’re always on my mind
So please give me a second chance I won’t waste your time
I know I have before but I swear not this time
We can be beautiful
We can be amazing
We can be the power couple
And we can be blazing
Just give me a second chance because I want you back
