Today I missed you...

     but missing you is an empty jar
     that once contained wrays of
     sunshine
     Now it is nothing more
     than a jar...

          You see...

                tomorrow, I'll remember
                all the reasons why
                we are galaxies away
                when we used to be
                a couple of moons
                that spun in the same orbit...

Tomorrow, you'll be gone again,
but today...

     today I wanted to open the jar
     and hope I found that same
     sunshine,
     and today I wanted to catch a
     sunbeam
     to the closest moon in your solar
     system

          But missing you is empty...
            
                        Empty Jar
                        Empty Space
                        Empty

I think my love button is broken...

Someone came along,
Ripped it out of place,
Turned it around, upside down
Snapped off my "give a ****",
And shoved it back where they found it.

Now sparks fly...
And not the good kind.
Now crackles, and pops, and buzzing
Wreak through the torn seams

Yeah,
Pretty sure the **** thing
Is ****** up sideways.

I think my love button is broken...

Tick, Tick, Tick
Goes the heart clock
Longing to know
True loves taste

Tock, Tock, Tock
With every heart tick
Hoping your first time
Isn't all a waste

Bizz, Bizz, Bizz
Sing the belly bugs
Wondering when
You'll be with them again

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
Fly the butterflies
Love floats the heart
At the strike of ten

Bang, Bang, Bang
Pound the mind drums
With every kiss
Beats true loves song

Hum, Hum, Hum
Pulse the static veins
With every touch
Sends a current miles long

Tick, Tick, Tick
Heart Clock
Tock, Tock, Tock

For she is still

So the whispers of the grass

And the secrets of the tree

Can shout to her hungry soul.
