Moon


It's obvious.

Here we go again.

I should quit.

Honestly.

Our bones match.

Even though you don't see the colors the way I do.

No one has ever talked to me like that.

I do it to pass the time.

It's the way you walk.

Just admit it.

Is it strange that you remind me of someone?

I can't spell these words right to save my life.

Just don't ask me to walk in a straight line.

Some days this poison really takes its toll on me.

But only for a few hours.

My smirk says it all.

The moon has caused the temperature to rise.

But only for tonight.

Just the sight of your shadow makes my muscles melt.

It almost feels like I've been in a trance for the last 3 years.

I can't even begin to explain.

For now, you pretend.

But maybe one day soon you can take off the mask.

Hopefully.

If home is where the heart is where do you go when it's broken?

My nourishment is words.

And my beauty is thoughts.

So be it.

Wild Animal

The tighter you hold it, the faster it slips through your fingers.

I don't want to learn that the hard way.

You say I gave you up for this city.

But we both know thats not true.

I didn't give you up.

At least I didn't plan on it.

I've said it all before.

It's impossible to tame a wild animal.

I can feel myself forcing it.

Does accepting fate make it in your favor?

Or am i really as powerless as i feel?

I can wait. liked you've asked me to but it will be one of the hardest things ive ever done.

Not because your not worth it, but because I know at any moment fate could take you away.

It just felt like we were on top of the world.

And now, I just feel like we are two strangers in it.

Surprise Surprise

You spin around at the same pace as the record.There's a constant ringing in my ear. You finally made me understand.
You interrupted. And you didnt even realize.
You called me a poet.
But I can't use you as a valid source.
Why do I even try to make sense?
Its all the same.
But the difference is its the one constant.
You can't be let down if you rely on yourself.How do you like that?
I find myself dancing when I'm alone.
Moving to silence.
Just to lift my spirits.
Works everytime.

The Rhythm

She's only confident when she's in pain.
I make love to the music.
It's not him. It's the rhythm.
He's gonna start a fire if he's not careful.
I swear it's just a pastime. Sometiems I feel brilliant.
I admire you. I seek your shadow in hopes of reassurence.
That won't work. Let's not be foolish.
Why am I slowly being destroyed?
It sways back and fourth bringing solace to an ever changing mind.Eventually the weight of the world will crush me.
Youth is perfection. But when it's all over and done with we are all ruined.
An extra hour on the clock doesn't make a difference.
I completely miss understood you.
I'll rewrite it a million times before I can pretend I'm halfway satisfied.
Just close your eyes. Turn off your thoughts and sleep.
Easier said than done
