It’s hard to stay away
When she keeps
Crawling back
Building this up
From the ground
Only to tear it
Back down
Light it on fire
And say I ruin everything

I let them steal my blood
Just because everyone said
It was fine
When I walked out the world
Was spinning static is
All I can see now
I’m pretty sure everything is
Different I stare at
Constellations during the day
And climb trees in the ocean
I thought my eyes were
Brown but she seems
To see them as green
The waves I’d struggle to
Climb soothe me to sleep
And that howling in my
Ear whispers lovely things
The salt stinging my eyes
Comes out with the tears
But it just doesn’t burn
The way it used to

In the early days
I can’t always remember
Things were so full of yellow and blue
And sunrise and sky
And sprinklers and bikes
Then with parting screams
Life was orange and brown
And sunset and birds
And movies and tears
In it’s wake I drowned with grey and maroon
And clouds and hoodies
And work and sighs
Consumed by the dark I could finally breath
And I became yellow and blue once more

A speck of light
In an endless void
We can make a wish
Upon that dying star
I’ll keep it safe
Just in case
So while our planet spins
And while that star dies
Maybe your dream
Could live on

They clip your wings
‘Till you grow out of their reach
Towering above
Where only the wind and stars
Can touch you
How is the view
From the top of the sky?
Do you see all the birds
And take pleasure in their company?
You’ll grow forever more
But will forget me in time

You’re so pastel yellow
And so heather grey
You’re so hopes to fit in
And  wait just a day

You’re so pastel yellow
And so heather grey
You’re so stitches undone
And so lost on the way

You’re so pastel yellow
And so heather grey
You’re so just you and I
And so we’ll be okay

It was four in the morning
We were watching edits
Laying with your head
In my lap the best
Of friends I knew
It wouldn’t last
It couldn’t last
Dice hit the table
What are the odds
It might work out
The silence came slowly
I didn’t even notice
But then
Turn around and you’ll see
Curled up on the bathroom tile
Head in your hands
Tears are not always visible
Look up
Written on the ceiling
How long until it all
Burns down
Which of your truths
Are false
I’ll never know
