Silence

So this is what it sounds like to settle

I got a sock full of seashells and I face full of wrinkles

from laughter of memories held in my chest

Gone Away

With a day old shirt, and a lipstick stain.

He left the place, and drove away.

Over valleys, over plains

To the coastline, to a new day.

The dashboard grey, reflected him

Of his past and of her sins

They weren't right, and they weren't wrong

But they weren't where he belonged.

His suitcase filled, with deadened words

From a girl he no longer understood.

Once found precious, now rang crude

He could no longer swallow them, no longer chew

Torch the suitcase, char it black.

And pray his demons never come back

He'll burn his wounds, till it forms new skin

And then there, will life begin.

blah blah blah

I'll walk until my feet fall off

I'll walk until I can go no more

As long as there's good conversation

I'll walk myself into a new day

-----------------------

I woke up this morning

with you on my mind

Remembering our fingers laced, and our words intertwined.

The trees were laughing

while the wind sang low

The sun smiled down and our pace began to slow

I laughed, and you grinned.

No words could convey

I joy I felt walking hand

and hand with you on that autumn day

Internal maintenance

selfish to selfless.

transformation needs to occur.

conscious of my actions.

wrap me in Your love.

cocoon me in Your words.

Let them make me beautiful

all for Your good.

Take me, my dead, decaying body

For it was never really mine

scrape "me" off and breathe me life

And i will work for thine

Transformation

from cripple dead to soaring life

transformation

from caterpillar to butterfly

I want a heart of gold.

heavy from the weight of the world.

I want a heart of gold.

but light because He carries me.

I want a heart of gold.

One inspired from the heavens.

I want a heart of gold.

handing out pieces to the everyone I see.

You Left Your Mark

a teeny stain that wont quite leave

that what you are to me.

maybe not a stain, a mark, a part

but you hold a place within my heart.

I wont deny

why dare lie?

the reasons I've come by

oh honey, please stop asking, why why why why whyyyy

only for a moment

the impressions were lasting

Streams of thought

Lay me down in a field, where the wild flowers grow

Where the grass whispers in my ears

and where the where my morning gown will flow, flow, flow

When I grew up, I dreamt to be a tree.

And You could collect my sap, and carve your name unto me.

I'd bear you fruit, I'd bear you shade

I'd even let you take the life i made

---------------------------------

I paint a portrait of the life, i wished to live.

And then they spent away, till the world had nothing to give.

But I selfish, and I was wrong,

I was left with nothing but a hopeless, heartless, sad sad song.

I took it all, leaving nothing to them

I didnt look back, i didnt give in

I let myself reek, the stench of the dead

And so for a time this was the unlife, I led

I became another selfish piss

mixed among the rest

I became just another selfish piss

probably one of the best

--------------------

Please. please stand straight, by my side.

I'll let my fingers be your guide.

And if you sway, even an a stride

Don't you fret, I won't let you slide

And so we walk, and so we stroll

and so we empty talk and lose control

Ill carry your head, if you carry my hand

As friends, as humans, we'll cover this land

And so we sit and so we stew,

over the lives we never knew

and over the plans that never grew

and over adventures that were so few...

And so we talk and so we chat

about the dogs, about the cats,

How little Johnny can swing a bat

And about our new "Welcome" mat

And so we linger and so we stay

And wish and wish our lives away

To go back to different day

without kids and with more youthful disarray.

And so we go

And so it flows

Off into rows and rows and rows.

The flower grows

We strike a pose

but no one knows, they know, no, no.

He spills a little gibberish

She lets him have a second kiss

and then turns to bliss bliss bliss

until its gone...miss, bliss, miss.

You're gone, oh honey you're gone.

I question what Im doing here

I question from which I came

I question why I chose this

I question not by His name

Im just another selfish piss

mixed among the rest

Im just another selfish piss

probably one of the best

I question the future we may hold

nearly everything you say

I don't rest easy, I don't rest here

I guess I wont rest today

My feet are stuck and my body's thrashing

I just want to run baby, run baby, run.

I think Ill die little inside if I stay... if I stay, if i stay this way.

Oh, my skin craves the water and sun.

Not everything is simply about boys&girls, no.
