Collapsing into that buried grave
No one to come and save
From all these monstrous thoughts
Those days of long night shots
Everyone leaving and going home
Let under this lonesome dome
Setting up my dead soul’s piece
When will this decay cease
The failure of my human journey
Finding the transformation within me
Leaving those broken bones and dead relationships
Burning those promises and friendships
Goodbye, my soul
Dig yourself out from this six foot hole
Be rid of this two year sore
It cannot take anymore
No one else matters
- T.G.

I start to hear familiar piano chords
The release from these dusty old swords
I search for that old sound to find you
You've paid your long overdue
Starting over with this old and new
Seeing your bright green eyes shine
Waiting for me to call you mine
Getting that dancing smile glance
This may be my only second hand chance
To ever have to be together again
Leaving all regrets and failures in my den
Meaningless to my own ear
I just want to be with you, my dear
The trumpets call out from the distance
Your Christian angel hood showers over your face
I’m trying to get to your heart without haste
Just thinking of new possibilities
Contemplating these new utilities
Even if we aren't meant to be
Just to hear your voice is love to me
Chatting in that old car of yours
Shutting those tender thought doors
Romancing back to those February days of love
She’ll wait and fly into the purple night sky

Arriving off from the air above
Smelling that fresh new wave love
This young man who wanted to search
Finding his long thought out crush
Thinking of a new era and dawn
Walking under these castles as a small pawn
Among these tall kings and queens
You see the foreign glances and backward dances
Wondering where to go and where to stay low
Out of sight, out of mind
I wouldn't mind spending some time
With a fine dime like you, my darling
On an everlasting journey to find the better half
The half I can say that succeeds over me
Everything I need and everything I wanted
See cleans up the mess, left on this used table
I want to see you more, what is your name label?
Traveling through these dishes and hisses
To find my true love at last
Let’s take our flight and make off with a dash
There’s just something about your face
The feel of your scarred hands and restless fingers resting with mine
I’m just here to tell myself it’ll be fine
Looking for that long thought love
Different parts
Different lands
Different plans
Different lives
Different loves
Different Girl
I know you’re out there
Looking for that lovely brown hair
Moving towards the unknown
Who would've ever known?
This writer’s eyes of the uncertainty
Would find your eyes of blue

Goodbye my long forgotten love story
We shared our youth spending glory
Those days of innocence have finally closed
My heart has ceased with the overdosed
You shared your green pretty eyes with me
I forgot how that smile was my long lost key
Unlocking hidden dreams of our gorgeous passing days
We've had our dragging overdue pays
Changing for the better
Changing for the worst

Reminiscing over fond memories of the past
Keeping this conversation alive to last
My thoughts of you are calming down
With all these painful doubts to drown
You call me up and whisper with your soft voice
We always had our year long choice
Pretending to hate our junior age
Moving unto the distance with this blank page
Writing down our new adventures
With or without each other
We won’t share this same cover
But we’ll mention each other in these memories book
Once in a while we’ll take a loving look
At what we had layed down long ago
When we grow old and begin to go

You’ll remember my glasses
I’ll remember your side smiling glances
You’ll remember my stupid haircuts
I’ll remember how our love drove me nuts
You’ll remember our quiet conversations
I’ll remember our silent hesitations
You’ll remember my poor departed eyes
I’ll remember your beautiful ***** blonde hair
You’ll remember my silly way to care
I’ll remember the yellow dress you wore
You’ll remember my last steps out the door
We’ll remember our love forever and ever

Goodbye, my yellow dress girl
We change for the better, my dear
Something I came to fear for many a year
We’ll remember the day we held those storybook hands
This is my last love letter to you
The Yellow Dress Girl
Gone and gone
Away into happiness
Fading away into happiness
Happiness for as long she lives
Goodbye, my beautiful bride, she’ll never be
- T.G.

Goodbye to my yellow dress girl.

These ocean currents come pulling in
This is our only time to have this win
I look over to you with your sunglasses
You make those side smile dashes
I remember all the times we could have had
Oh, how it made me feel so mad
Not to take those distant chances
For those all night dances
Running around with your hand by my side
Let’s go somewhere and take our secret hide
You brushed your hair over the dock
All these memories that never passed the clock
I’m the romantic hopeless
You’re such a hot mess
Let’s stay together, my dear
That’s the only thing left I fear
How long will it be for us to stay this way?
All the words I am never able to say
Before you leave and never return
How many times I had my stomach churn
From these failed pasts and potential love aches
Crashing onto your shore with the dozen mistakes
You wiped away the crushing fury with a tear
We’ll meet again someday, don’t fret my dear
Comforting words, holding onto my Sydney
We’ll meet again someday; you’ll be dear to me
Traveling together forever, that never was to be
- T.G.

For all the people with forgotten chances and wishful futures.

Before we parted this way
I tried to think of something to say
My achievements take a toll
As my love continues to spiral down this hole
I had to make a promised sacrifice
Paying for this broken price
I spend hundreds of months by myself
Setting up this imaginary shelf
Your face is blue stained glass
The choir boys come to a mass
You’re so lovely in that purple dress
While I stand in the middle of this mess
I have a grand plan to stay on tasks
We hideaway these poison flasks
If I could have both to cherish
My body wouldn't erupt to perish
Your body is warm, it brings me home
I find myself alone in this empty dome
Wishing to live forever here
If only I could find out a way, my dear
I wouldn't rush into unopened gifts
All that is left is these forged drifts
When will I have a darling like you by my side?
Love has become a part that died
- T.G.

With all these old familiar chairs
We come to sit in new arrived pairs
The teacher speaks in monotone speeches
How much longer will he continue his preaches?
Then I turn to you my darling
You share that fresh start smiling
With that brunette hair rolling off your back
You filled my eyes from this black and white crack
Colors of flavor and new embraced slides
We speak about these tales of story tides
Busting in with these staring contests
No one can bother us, not even these pests
We spend all this time on the run
We’ll never be far from being done
From all these writing numbers and little talks
We’ll escape from this reality and into stone chalks
Let’s think of one hundred things to do
I’ll be looking at these untold pasts and upcoming new
We’ll reach those new horizons my dear
Your green eyes staring into that broken mirror
Crashing onto that hood of twenty cars
We’ll never have these potential scars
Only one day that we met
We were never meant to have a set
Maybe we’ll meet again someday
One day we’ll just be okay
Just move on and single these moments alone
While I lay to rest in dust and bone
Till we meet again my siren
- T.G.
