You moved closer to me
Yet you've never felt farther

I warned you about this and you didn't believe it
No one ever believes it

People move on and settle down
They find future husbands and wives
And forget about where they were at one point

I shouldn't just make this about you
There are others that have made me their chum when they're glum

But it's so ( Read more... )

I wait for you
The way I wait for so many things
I feel so foolish turning this around over and over in my hand
Like a snow globe and watching the glitter fall

I'd love to throw you away
And maybe go so far as to say that I wish I never met you

What have you done for me
What has been the meaning of your existence for me

I didn't know you six years ago
But ( Read more... )

You should make a decision that doesn't involve me at all
I can play your games forever
But I shouldn't and I can only stop myself
But you are there and allow me halfway in and claim its enough
It's not enough and I have no right to ask for more
You have nothing to give to anyone
You've killed yourself and bewitched your corpse to go on for you
It's a ( Read more... )

It would be perfect to leave you this way
Dancing in the dark, blissfully happy, not caring about anything except tonight
But I care about so much more than that
I dwell over the what ifs and what could have been
I obsess over what the sun has yet to see
I stand there, burning
And it's not enough to watch skin turn red
Or see the flakes of dead skin fall

I look for you
The way I look in the mirror
At the lines growing around my eyes

You're there
And it's so easy to disbelieve it

I'm headed toward a forest of glass figurines
Ballerinas in mid pose, their faces frozen
And I in the middle unable to move
Or look up and away

I treasure these sick things
These monuments of what-ifs
Towering over the awestruck man
Who endeavors to give them away
But cannot

They are stuck
Their feet firmly rooted in the mud
They beg to finish their work ( Read more... )

You are reckless in your decisions
You cut a path for yourself
And march past those who fall in your presence

I've struggled to find a balance between getting what I want and working for it
Like the way a vine struggles to find the sun
I expect there to be something or someone to hold on to instead of using what's around me and cherishing it

There's ( Read more... )

I once read of a man who sacrificed his happiness for his art
I thought he was pathetic until now
How could I blame him when out pours all this

From the mess a flower blooms

Maybe it's the ocean that reaches out to the moon every night
Like a heartbroken woman who feels a pull that she doesn't understand

You are too convenient for me
Because it is so easy to hand you everything
And watch as it falls through your fingers like water

I'll try so hard not to blame you
And finally I find that it's easy to understand
How it's not your fault

I am the one who likes to stare at the sun
And insist it isn't bright while everyone around me shields their eyes

They can ( Read more... )
