Cold Feet 02:53
sixteen months to ease the pain of finding out there was nothing gained but memories that weren’t so true and lessons meant to help me through. it’s hard to grasp who you really are and it’s useless to try and get that far. i know i’m wiser and well without you but you haunt my dreams and you rip at seams that break. leave me, ghost.
2.
in wave forms, in lockets, you’re walking around. in wave-lengths, i’m locked out and buried. infectious smiles and sound. frail lies are crowned king and queen (she's caustic, always. And I'm caustic now). your misery is something love can’t treat. you forgot about me but i’m happy. (oh, you look like a movie star but this is not a movie)
3.
behind this building is calling us, pulling us, wanting us to stay like a mirror with a 40 year time lapse. there is no reason for a tight chest. all cards are okay cards with a heart above the clouds. i’m so broken but never apart and always a part of you, the sun, the moon, the stars and oceans. show me blessing in this loveless heart i’ve worked so hard to share with you. i’m sorry you can’t hold it now, so hold yourself up to shine. i almost want to cry but life is too beautiful to live in the misery of losing everything we’ve dreamt of… and more… and more…
4.
eyes are planets. they’re that far. but if we drive for an hour each, galaxies become heavens and we just fit. between time, over time, we have so much time to see we’re everything we’ve dreamt and more (i thought I had seen it all)…and more…and more…and more…and more…and…it’s not too long and it’s not too far.
5.
why are the hiding parts of my mind writing stories about you still and manifesting them while i sleep, while i dream? we used to fuck to joy division. we used to play fools in love. if i could’ve wiped the cowering look off my face, i would’ve left when i read what you were covering for. you were wrong, and we we really? i don’t miss you at all, i think. but i miss something, maybe everything. i’m sure it’s nothing now. it’s nothing now

70 03:59
when you had me in your hands and you were letting me let go, the only thing i could think about is how much i loved you. and i know you used me just to touch. you touched me til i was all used up. oh, come on, year, work your spirit-hands.(i'm always true, it's always you) no one can be perfect because no one will stay. and i knew you’d leave. and it’s so alright. it’s just one more time someone else steals my promises. (sometimes i wish we'd never met)
7.
indifferent to all things, i passed through you unseen but on a whim, i’ll digress to lock the door i thought i’d left open and i’m not the first one to ever suggest you’d never had a second thought about this and i’m not the only one who’s ever read the things you only say with your chest. and it starts to feel the same. we both start to sound the same. indifferent to just me, you’ll sail on with the deepest breach of feelings and doubts. you’ve anchored to yourself to a seabed of made up truth and i’m not the first one to play at the meaningless way you’ve held on and i wont be the last one to ever suggest, you’re always butterflies and bullshit.
8.
Balance 03:40
and if you’d waited for the horizon (but i have severed) and if you’d kept your mind’s eye open (all these loose ends), you would seen me waiting. you would feel me breathing. just stop listening to the voices from the depths of logic. love is balance. love is beauty. i know for you to let go was to gain but i find no blessing in this. (i’m on the fence.)
