You're gone but I won't get high
Cause I'm already fly
My aspirations reach the sky
There's no need to even try
You left without saying goodbye
There are no tears in my eyes
Just for you I'll never cry
No I'm not that shy
To tell you that I'll forget you in a blink of an eye
Don't forget that I'm the queen of July

The only ones
who see
my true colors,
are black ink
and a white paper

I don't know
if I'll ever get the chance to tell you
how the whole world
disappears when you're here

But like the sun
hugs the horizon
and the moon
kisses the sky

Day by day
I am here
and my love
for you is real

She gave him the world, her world
But it wasn't enough, nothing was ever enough

little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to
use the knife
I won't flinch and
i won't blame
you,
as I drive along the shore alone
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do not leave,
i won't blame you,
instead
i will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.
little dark girl with kind eyes
you have no
knife. the knife is
mine and i won't use it
yet.
