Icicles

Sitting on
The street line
Side line
Green light

But everything is swerving
All just swerve away
I forget your appearance

Today is just a day.
Each day we melt away

Reasons Not To Love

You slipped yourself
Inside my pocket.
Behind the clouds in my sky.

You breathed air into my lungs.
You lifted my soul the way wind rustles the earth.

And when you disappeared,
I died.

The Anxious Will Understand

The world turns
My lungs contract
Holding onto life
Keeping it in tact

Cause its so easy
For me to end
As fast as light travels
As quick as eyes blink
And I could be gone

Hold on so tight
It feels like I cannot breathe
Everything shuts down
And the universe is surrounding me

Decisions circle and cave me in
Another bruise to remind me
The mess I'm in

Only in my head
Always there instead
I need to crawl out
Of this world

But I am endless and alone
Need to swim
Out of this trench
But I'm sinking
Turning to stone

All the "what if's" play on repeat
In my mind, this is defeat
Cause I can't be where
Things are real
Lost in space
My eyes peel

Launched away
Isolated from everyone
Who cares
Unknown places
And deluded stares

This is what I've done to forget
Who I am
Flew myself so far away
On my own, I ran

And now I try to sleep
But all I feel is fear
Someone, rescue me from myself
I have broken free from anyone else

I don't deserve to cry and plead
I've left the ones who carried me
No wonder the ones I love
Leave me

Effortlessly alone
I'm the only one to blame
Can I forgive myself?
So many secrets, so much shame.

Time is too fast now
I cannot push these breaks
I am so far gone
I rush around
With no escape.

Polarized

And I still think of you
Though I'd rather not admit
Every feeling
And the movement within it

And the hate that barges in and breathes
All the hurt you'll ever seize

Then I remember you're gone
Then I remember your near
Then I remember it's over
Then I remember im here.

Revolving

In the present
Peering at the seam
Of cotton thread
Where my mind connects
And beams

A soldier hides
It's mighty fight
All silver rusts away
All your sight

The red feels like suede
And I bleed for a heart
Is it to replace mine?
Or have I just lost my senses
Lost my mind

White Figure

Your somewhat a dream
And astronauts gleam
Fiction or real
Tell me with words
How you feel

I am indoors
Where no one can see
Evaporation
Surrounds me

But I feel waves that tug and sway
Your somewhat a dream
Here, but far away

The Pool Tables

You say things
That make you realize
Your mind is so much
More than you imagined

Where blue rain falls
And rivers blend
In a painted sky
Another promise to mend

And I've lent you a coat
As the frost arrives
Keep warm
And close your eyes..

A Case of Mars

In all this wilderness
I lost the grip on your hand
I felt mellow and tuned out
To the buzzing I left
Behind a closet in my mind

In the hazy landscape
Of mountains captured
In drifting clouds
We float away

The black in my chest
Has shrivelled
The sword in your armour
Has dulled

A valley of the lone
Casted in a land of stone

Keep your kite up
Catch your feet

We will move,
Against the beat.

Tipped

I climbed the ocean
To reach the tree tops
To walk against the sky
To make my way across clouds
To gain wings and glide
To see the world from a birds eye

I jumped off the ground
And landed upside down
To see a different picture
To hear backward sounds
To cry about different reasons
To find new winds and seasons

But im sitting in white
With a window wide open.
Lights on, dark nights.
Fear is your own creation.

Catching Airwaves

What was the reason
The reason for you
Wish I could steal
Your cold heart from you
Washed up and thrown out
You left me to bleed
Can't take anything else now
From me

What else could you ever need?
I gave you all I had,
Till there was nothing left to breathe

The air left my lungs
When your hands left me bare
Nothing to mask the pain
And I ached
Lied awake

No more light
Was left to see
You were the light my eyes believed
And I wrap myself
Where it's safe to hide
Lock the door
And stay inside

Scared to face the world
Now it's just me
You took a part
That'll always be empty

A hollow bone inside me wears
And I still wonder where you are
I live in a different place now
Deep inside, I've travelled so far

This bullet lodged reminds me of you
A dirty scar you left me with too

The Answer You've Been Looking For

Have you ever
Been so empty?
Inside is a hollow room
Outside is a darking loom

Where petals fall
And shackles break
Where pain is felt
And quiet is fake

We take pictures
That just dissolve
And strum guitars
That dust and grow old

Like a temple of wine
And an age of fire
Like a bible that lights up
Infants in laughter

Just a cage
We feed the thought

Cut your chords
And jump
Open your parachute
And fly

Shut your questions off,
And just try.
