it's foreign to me,
to not be heartbroken or obsessed.

there's not a single person
that's constantly on my mind
every second of every day of my life.

nobody in particular to think of,
when i pretend i'm being held at night,
listening to the sad breakup songs i once related to.

it's strange, not painting my nails anyone's favorite color,
or doing my hair or makeup for anyone like i used to.

now, if i were to think of a "him"
not a single specific person would appear.
and neither would those feelings of hopeless longing.

It takes one look into your eyes,
and I can tell you're not alright.
The words you don't say aloud
lay heavy on your chest at night.
Every time you cry
I wish I was allowed
to give you a reason why,
a will to live, a will to fight.
I want you to be alright.

It took one look into your eyes
to know you would rise
high into the sky
after you said your last goodbye.
To the ones I couldn't save, and the one I still hope to.
Beautiful, Sweet thing
hanging from my neck
like a chain
a bee sting in July,
a growing pain.
In a dream I sweat
we wed in the tropics
cross-eyed and tongue-tied
at the thought of your lips
my thoughts are doing the hokey-pokey
don't slap me silly, slap me serious
I need to get a grip
I have a devil harassing my hips
I'd melt like a mint, in the heat of your mouth
Hurricane in a blouse headed angrily down south
raining fabric off our backs
the umpire called three strikes,
and only now are we finally going out
When she's away from me
My heart reaches, like a baby from its crib
helpless without the love of those who love it.
Her voice fills my skull like wine in a glass,
smooth and intoxicating
occupying every nook and cranny
Her smile is the moon shining on a snowy night.
Her eyes are speckled with rust
I give them my trust.
When she is away
her touch is hot and loving and feverish
when shes a way I'm sick
but its worse when she's near
I'm a **** addict, a *******
when she's gone I suffer withdrawals
when she's near I'm high as a kite,
that's fine I'm happy.
That's what really matters, right?
I see the sky blue as sea,
Sprinkled with clouds, there they be.
I lay on this soft plain.

Feeling no such important thing
Other than ultimate peace
I see the sky blue as sea,

Many struggle with a wrinkle in their suit
When they should go with the heavenly flow
I lay on this soft plain.

Come lay on this soft plain
And contemplate where we belong
I see the sky blue as sea,

Watch the clouds keep flying by
As they keep watch over, us bundles of nerves
I lay on this soft plain.

Close your eyes and breathe deep, close your brain
Try to go to sleep, dream
and see the sky blue as sea,
lay on this soft plain with me
"Forever"
but that means, eternity
I suppose that happiness can feel like an eternity.
love is a minefield, be sure to watch your step
because at one moment your dancing
and the next your legs are gone.
I suppose I could have been more literal,
I mean who actually lasts forever?
I learned the hard way that I ought to be saying
Maybe Never.
You Villain,
Like a thief in the dark
you stole my heart
with you a black cloak, mask and daggers sharp
you severed my heart
and nabbed it.
Now here I am back at the start
what many call love, is my laborious task
has me helplessly hooked like a carp
you own my delicate heart
I'm lucky you haven't torn it apart.

— The End —
