Gasp

Oh angel
Carry my wings
The burden weighs a ton.

Always Forget, Always

Fingerprints lost, a graze was once warm now turned to ice
Eyes once stared into burst in the air
Let the fireworks burn
Let them fade into ashes
Kissing the air and hoping the fall never ends
It always ends
It always kills.

Sing!

The other day I was walking
When I found myself following a song
I thought I had heard everything before
But this was composed different
It's structures had hips and its words had eyes
Then I heard the melody
And it knocked me out!
The song had ended and I was in the trees
Left with a skip in my step
And a song in my heart
(I whistled it all night long).

Fragile Egg

She sleeps by my side
Night and day and in my dreams
She's the shade to my sun
The only one
She makes me happy.

Words Chosen Randomly

Your eyes
Are by my side
I've stuck them in a plastic bag
and drove off
I'm sure you'll miss them
I'm sure i miss you
Let's call it borrowing
It sounds much more pleasant
I'll pluck out my own
And try yours on
I bet you see everything crystal clear
I bet you see beauty in the world
I bet you see everything perfect
But I bet you don't see me.

{I jacked the title from a Miracle of 86 song.}

Southern Stare

I woke up in a jar to the stench of the night before
Outside the glass there's:
A telephone off the hook
A notepad with spilled ink
And
A love letter never sent
It was a sweaty little summer
Drops of sex and fear run down my head
And my breath
Oh, it fogs the glass.
I left behind a single fingerprint
And went back to sleep to forget my regrets.
