Is this what you’re looking for- some comprehensive clearance?
Darling, I've died a hundred times in my head
You run a knife through me, it wouldn't make a difference
I am already dead.
But maybe it’s your turn now
For it seems you’re too alive
Turn around, take that final bow
Give that last hi-five.

They've weeded you out
There’s nothing left in you to bloom
Does your life revolve around doubt?
It’s alright, you’ll be gone very soon.

Right, left, front and back again
Why are you dodging the bladed lunge?
Don’t be scared, courage is a thing you need to attain
Hold my hand honey, we’re going to take this plunge.
We've all been dead in our minds at some point in time.
The cold Winter winds have soaked these bones
Again and again
I long only for the warmth of Sol's Summer to penetrate my heart
To melt these burdens away
To allow the light inside to escape
To consume me from within

Her cold Winter words have soaked this mind
You're only a friend, dear one of mine
I long only for the warmth of her heart and her touch
To know that our minds are one
And I am finally complete
Able to begin

As Spring inches closer I realize I've been foolish
Again and again
You were right when you said I was stupid
You could've also added Jaded and Deluded
Why should I expect you to be any different
Than all the others who threw me away?

After all, you are only human
led blind through fields,
soft seared footprints
fade down to
bent stems, folding back
into the sky.

ridges, across the inlet,
spell out acres
we could run away to;

but, don't move.

here, in this instant,
light shines clusters over
our bodies; forgotten problems
i would hope to dream and
dissipate and wake
next to you.
could
i

be what you want?

'cause
you're all
my eyes have
been seeking out,
lately,
intently,
on all streets,
all buildings
and bars,
in small hope that,
some night or
day soon,
my tired gaze
will catch
yours.
i don't wanna be lost like this anymore
