not too cheery
a little too weary
the days are getting bleary
the nights, more dreary
?? May 2010.

i see you
lying there
face framed in silk
eyes shut
almost sleeping
yet too still to be real
i can see your skin
ghostly pale
unnaturally perfect
scarred by the pain of life no more
your hands rest neatly in your lap
palm on palm
never moving
to touch me again
you will never see this letter
never open your eyes again
they took you away from me
and i'll never take you home again
remember when we talked that night
about how we'd like to die
a shot to the head was your choice
while a peaceful sleep was mine
you got your wish
my ill-fated lover
as i see you laying today
in this church
filled with flowers
the same place
where you took your life away
i know why you did it
i know why you died
you couldn't take the pain any more
i can see it through your eyes
they never left you alone
they were constantly by your side
tempting you to do harm
tempting you to die
you went to god
to seek his help
and found only bells
ringing in a solemn tune
ringing for me
ringing for you
i hear those same bells today
chiming away
chiming away
we'll be together soon
lover, i miss you
lover, don't worry
lover, i'll see you later today.

i am smitten with what you are
my heart so gently pounds
when you give me what i love most
what i love most is not
your kiss your eyes
your lips your smile
your laugh your heart
no what i love most
is you, in whole
nothing is left out
everything is what i love most
i am smitten with what you are

a brush of breath upon my lips
closing in for that first kiss
your hand plays through my hair
into my eyes you stare

and i am lost
so lost
in your deep eyes
i am lost
so lost
in your deep eyes

dont shy away, love
stay close, stay near
ba-bump, ba-bump
goes my heart, can you hear?

ba-bump, ba-bump
getting faster
ba-bump, ba-bump
pushing harder

oh dear, oh dear
look what you've done
i'm flushing, i'm blushing
look what you've done

goosebumps, hair raises
i touch your lips with mine
ba-bump, ba-bump
i feel i may die

my sweet, my sweet
i could never leave
but my sweet, my sweet
this is just a dream

oh, sweet memory
imprinted in my mind-
never to diminish
through years and years of time.

in this memory, my sweet,
you pulled me flush against thee
and in my ear, you whispered,
in your baritone voice, you whispered-

"what better than a winter's night,
my love, to be so near to thee?
for my love, you are my warmth,
my sun, my fire, you see."

and my heart did quake
under that starry sky.
and my legs did shake
as if the earth were torn awry.

you pressed your lips against mine,
and you kissed me. o! you kissed me
'til i truly thought the world would end;
that the sky would break, and mountains bend.

in this kiss i felt your love
rushing like a waterfall.
o! i still feel your love
as if it were not memory at all.

sometimes
you don't think
of
consequences


sometimes
things can go
out
of control


sometimes
you don't know
where
you're going


sometimes
you think it's
okay
but it's not


sometimes
it's nice to
just
let go
