Thanks for being with me
when no one else did,
thanks for giving comfort
when no one else did,
thanks for being my pillow that
I could cry on at nights.
Nervous pangs and tattering thoughts
The impending terror of my dreams lay before me.
Psychology tells physiology to shut its mouth but biology gives in:
Close my eyes and count to three
Vaguely I remember
Those cold dark nights
When I was in your arms
You, heating me up
With your warm love

Moonlit beams, graciously falling from faraway stars
Palm to palm, in a continuous hold
When the dawn comes, we’ll wake again
I have a thing for the moon.
I'm scared to go to sleep.
I think I'm scared.
I have to be scared.
That's the only explanation
I'm scared to sleep
The Kansas sun slowly burns out, melting into the plains like a cigarette butt fades int
a cool breeze brushes across my face
the smell of grass and dirt fill the atmosphere,
the crickets they chirp so loud, breaking through the silence of night
the glow of fireflies dace around the field ,
It’s one of those nights when all the memories take physical form.
When monsters swallow kindness to retch sadness and nostalgia.
Night skies, stars shinning bright, hot summer.
cigaret in one hand, beer in the other.
Cherrishing every moment of it.
Hotter and hotter, the sun brighter making the ocean bright blue.
If he walks by and sees youBe carefulYou're like rare pork lined and soaked in fresh bloodAnd just by the way he walks and talksYou'll undeniably fall for his perfect charm

One call in the fall. A text in the winter.
You say you're at home but I see you out with her.
Must pain you a lot that we broke up.
Because 2 days later you two hook up.
One smile in the spring.
The smell of honey suckle
Overwhelming the night air
Damp and sweet
The familiar smell soothes me
I can hear the distant laughter
Children I suspect; innocent
But playing long after bedtime
Friends run around the blazing heat
Capturing the sand under our feet
Screaming like we've lost it all
We'll party till the wheels fall
Seeing stars in our eyes
Not a care is given about how fast time flies
Deleted talent you should not have wentIn my heart that beats there are a few dentsThe dark will be there forever moreAnd my pillow will forever be the cureEyes are heavy and the body is weak
Our situation is an oddity,
But honestly, it's got to be.

To the Nth degree
He fell for me.
And I ran with that.
Matter-o-fact I take it back

Afternoons at the beach gave us seafoam dreams to run barefoot after through the streets.

Those sweet silent nights
Filled with worries and thoughts.
Heart beating fast
Stomach with knots.
Throughout the night
My heart tosses and turns
Reliving the old memories
Which it never learned.

A song left on repeat
Singing softly to myself
Happily and completely
off beat.
It's 3am and you're feeling cold
Why not a bath?
Yes, but it won't last forever.
Well... At least it will for a moment.
