Don't you miss the feel of it
Like rain against your skin?
Do you jolt the thoughts into your brain
To breathe them out again?

Do you raise your hand to sink down where
The burn becomes a cool?
And lay your heart to float out where
The drops become a pool?

Because I used to wrap myself up
In the comfort of no time
And indulge myself in the thought
That no one needs to be alive

Well for a while I was able to freeze
The hell inside my mind
And now I'm left to ponder
All the warmth beneath the ice...

The daffodils will grow in the yard again

Now that the last of snow will melt

My dear, I think we're older now

And we must grow as well

There's an exhaustive introspection
In the light behind our eyes
Yet we stay silent in the wake
Of another sleepless night

I will never get there–
The place I need to be
I curl up and find some comfort
Somewhere far away from me

I never felt like I depended on you
I kept my feet on solid ground
We coexisted and took time to listen
To our vastly different sounds

But you learned how I take my coffee
And all my favorite brands
The little things that live between
Our well-choreographed dance

And before I knew it, you'd become
A vital part of the song
So now I misstep with uneven breath
Because the notes are falling wrong

She was the summer days I stopped counting
The hours, I didn’t mind
Wasting them away into the sound of crickets
Somewhere in the night
The clock somewhere kept ticking
As I looked in her eyes
They’re more earnest and more beautiful
Than all the world combined
So much I didn’t need to see
As the darkness overcame
As if promising eternity
I held her to my frame
I let the moments overtake me
Time became but a construct
No I didn’t know anything
But love and care and hope and trust

But today I laid down to rest without you
Knowing the time, the date, and then
I realized that I’d spent the day
Counting every second

And maybe, we never had enough

I told you that I'd always love you
In the last text that I sent
That I was grateful and I hide
All the ways I circumvent

So you would think I've got less poison
Than my memories of you
It's so unfair I held you close
And now you're all I want to lose

Running through my veins
Running through my veins
I'll always love you, darling
I hope you feel this all the same

I'll cause all the breaths you bate
Every time you hear my name
I'll always love you, but...
I hope you suffer all the same

Welcome to my kingdom
Of fervent, careful scrawl
A 2D house of cards
On the cusp before the fall

I've built a castle from the rubble
So read between the lines
From all the words where ink has bled
Leaks a world inside my mind
