you are the one that I can hide inside of
you're the only place I know where I can get away from this world
and you shield me from the nightmares that are enclosed in it
the ghost of your heart lies soundly in my belly
and every time I look in your eyes it hatches into butterflies
then lines my belly with silver

when I touch your skin your body shivers
I rest my head upon your shoulders
whispering into your ears, gently singing love songs
in the midst of your eyes I feel small
but I feel as if I could touch the moon
but I cannot touch upon of who you've loved before me

or if you even love me at all

for I have never told you
your skin is as soft as a rose and your heart glows
glows inside the darkness of my mind

I don't know of any other place to go
for your life has purified me
and I'm still trying to find my way back home

because I cannot hide inside you anymore

come into this
breath the night
hold me close
your static bones give me electric shivers
my spine kisses you back
hold me close
come into this

the thunder cried sadness
over the walls it echos
moved across the sky never to be seen
you are here with me
hold me close, come closer
come into this

lights painted the room
you dug yourself deep into the cavity where my heart was
you would have stayed there until morning
but my cat let you in
the light patter of rain enclosed our body's
it sang you to sleep with its lullaby
you held me close
we didn't see the stars but we felt them
looking down
holding us close
we walked into this
breathed its night
we are the thunderstorms
and nothing can hurt us
you held me close

I awoke in the morning
found drops of water scattered across my window
they filled with dawn
shot a rainbow across my chest
I looked towards you
you smiled back towards me

we sat on a bench next to an old couple
who's probably been in love forever
we walked in the grass
next to people walking dogs and little kids catching frogs
and I felt just like those kids

I felt innocent and vulnerable and I didn't care about anything
and those butterflies could have carried me for miles

I looked at her eyes
I looked at her shoes
I looked at her lips
I felt all the blues

I wanted to grab her sides but I didn't
I wanted to hold her close but I didn't
I wanted to tell her I love her but I didn't
I wanted to show her how I felt but I didn't

we laid in the grass with the wind blowing past
through the trees and past our knees
and I knew this wouldn't last
we listened to music with the sun shinning just right
I can still remember that window of light
and still to this day if I hear the right tune
I sit and pray and hope for the moon

but I don't want to think here alone in the dark
for too long I've been here, for too long I've stayed
for too long I've sat here and always played

played the songs that no one will hear
wrote the letters that no one will read
wrote the poems of my imagination
because through these words my heart does bleed
bleeds and breaths
and all I wanted was to show the world

because we all want are imaginations to be real
and feel the things that we wanna feel
and believe that are dreams could come true
and show the world that we feel more than we show
it's true in me and it's true in you

now I see her with a whole new life
and every time I do my heart corrodes
every time I do my heart explodes
I can't look at these eyes anymore
but when I do I drop to the floor
and only in my brain is where I see myself
going insane
removing from the plain

the plain of myself
and the plain of my soul
but I remember back and my life was not dull

so I say
thank you for the time
thank you for the rhyme
thank you for showing me that this world is still wonderful
and everyday is a gift
and everyday is another day that I can say

*I was there *******... I was there

in the fields I hear music
the night holds within me something deep
as if I've forgotten how to smile
sometimes my back hurts
the sun rests on my shoulder
some day's he's too big for me to carry
other times the days feel small
and flat like a quarter
tossed into the air
we leave bad and good days to chance
in better days
I've kissed pretty girls under neighborhood bridges
the amber sun at dusk
is even more beautiful glistening off the trees in the shade
walking by the apple trees
we eat their fruit
god hums to himself loudly
my hands clinched tight
he looks down on us
so confused
our fistfuls of rage
we sing in key with them
in the fields we hear that music playing
and still to this day
it leaves us speechless

he stairs into the soul of the creature that stands before him
he listens to the quite whispers but hears the screams of angels
he looks into the ***** of the goddess, far past the chest, into the heart
he sees the light of sunshine, the warmth he knew but was never shown

he waits for the right moment of light where he can see the shine of her eyes
he loves that everyday is a gift just to spend ten minuets with her
he believes that one day this goddess will set him free from the prison of his mind
he longs to touch the skin that taunts his wondering eye

he dreams of one day showing the world just how much he loves her
he holds the peaceful beauty that rest's her forehead upon his lips
he feels the gentle rhythm of the heart beating against the chest
he knows how much that heart pumps for the one that she dreams about

he accepts the fact that she harbors love for someone else
he understands that he was there before he knew beauty's name
he lets go of the one that he holds so dear to his heart
he closes his eyes and nods off into a world where she and him live happily ever after

this world burns like fire
it burns memories deep into your veins
making everyday harder and harder to forget
that we once loved somebody
but they turned away
they left us like the sun at dusk
bring with them the night because we all slept in
and when you open your eyes I hope you look
stair long and hard at the monsters before you
see the father who wants to **** the daughter
see the *****'s next **** victim
see this world burn
and its last extinguisher has ran out
I would speak up but these days I'm forgetting how to talk
forgetting what it means to even be human
but always reminded of what I need to be
and as I look upon these charcoal black hands
I notice pieces of me peeling away
exposing my flesh and bones
until nothing is left but what I was when I was born
placed into these shoes
to burn with the rest of the world

this window is a television
its rain drops tell me stories
like the time we spend all day inside hiding from the clouds
finding the truth in magic on my bed
this window is a television
changing channels with every moving house
the sun came out to blind my way
making the rain drops open doors to locked places
trying hard to forget
looking for peace within my music
I digest these beats like fresh milk
making my bones stronger
so they don't shattered and break at the hands of these memories
I find myself not being able to control the way your hair looks in this light
the way we stood there and held each other
until I had consumed all the sadness that you had bottled
then you left me there drunk with pain
stumbling back home
I see my heart like broken glass laying on the ground staring back at me
these shards hold deep memories of your skin
I watched it crumble to dust and float away in the breeze
this window is a television
these rain drops glistening from the sun
reminds me of the mornings in December
I wonder if anyone else understands its beauty
