Winter gives way to spring
like fall gave way to winter.
My heart aches for whom I cannot have,
My eyes seek for what I cannot see,
My lips part for who I cannot kiss,
My skin waits for who I cannot feel
You cease to care.
My mind worries over what I cannot know,
My hands tremble for what I can't control,
My feet stumble over my very veins,
My time is fleeing,
My time is gone
You cease to care.
Your heart rejects mine,
Your eyes do not reach me,
Your lips ignore me,
Your skin grows cold
I always care.
Your mind overlooks me,
Your hands push me away,
Your feet keep the distance,
Your time is slowly dancing down

Corruption And The Mast Goes..
I'm sorry that I dropped
the phone when you dropped me
This maiden voyage is crashing
and burning in shark ridden waters
and I've remembered that I
never learned how to swim
Your lifeboat hands won't reach
out to pull me from my personal Titanic
You're terrifying me so beatifully,
and your sorrow snaps the thin
violin strings in my head
I'm drowning in the past because
I couldn't see you in my future
Is it wrong that I missed you
when I hated your guts?
I'm not perfect,
but I seem to be getting worse
You've ruined me,
and I don't care

Chewed Erasers And Wires.
Miscalculated chemistry,
was never even meant to be
I thought I got the potion right,
but it exploded on me
3 words on chalk boards
in babbling dead languages
I'd translate it for you,
If only I could find my voice
My tired tongue is tapping at an uknown beat
My lips burns because you kissed her
and my frost bitten heart can't hate you
But curse your mouth for it's terrible sin
I'll throw you away to send you flying back in
Print 'broken' on my wrinkled forehead,
in dainty cursive writing to remind me of
the note you never sent to explain an absent call
Pulled up by the shoulder blades,
pushed against the wall,
hung up on i
Large empty brains plastered on colored text book pages,
Libraries filled with mannequins,
their plastic hands pressed to where their hearts should be,
Classrooms overturned with polaroids on desk chairs,
and blank boards before them,
College campus's left for the vines to feed upon,
with black top parking lots sizzling in abandonment
Front porch steps,
stepped on in anticipated quick beats of teenage hearts in their throats,
Playground swing sets,
hanging between the spaces of the question
"To kiss or not to kiss?"
Mosh pit silent spots,
glancing attentions across the pool of hormones,
Hangout days which turn to lessons of

Future Of Past Mistakes.
Dying skin,
with fading touch,
mini skirts,
and abortion shots
Heroin punctures
before sweet kisses
Dropping morals
like poisoned flies,
Less rights,
with more talk
Violent eyes
before loving hands
Knives in backs,
and uninspired wealth
Tear down the sky,
cause the limits been broken
[And we're not going up]
I didn't tell you when I should have...
Speaking those words felt like poison
Something that would tarnish us both
I wanted to linger in the world of light
You reached out with your open arms
Drawing me into a place I never knew
Warmth and sunlight sparkled for free
The price was free to linger in paradise
I felt out of place being needed by you
A knight in shining armor saving the day
Sweeping me off my lonely feet with love
Asking to guard my heart and soul always
I didn't tell you when I should have...
I let you go despite the pain it created
Now the emply place where you stood
Holds the shadows of what may be been

Pieces Of You Caught On Me.
Did you know that you're beautiful?
I fall in love with every flaw
Those things that would normally annoy me,
change into adorable ticks you have
Like the nervous skips in your voice
And the way you sniffle when you get upset
The way your laugh seems to jump straight out of your heart
There's a soft squeal in your words when you're happy,
or whenever you speak my name
I hear you choking on words you don't trust yourself to say
I know when you're depressed,
because you breathe differently
You chuckle because it's all you can manage
I know you,
I know
But did you know that you're beautiful?
I do.
