flesh & bone

it's okay.

you can tell me if my pride gets in the way.

you can tell me anything.

doesn't mean i'll change.

& just as you hear me say those words

you tell me

"that's why you'll always end up alone."

guess i had that coming.

you never see my heart.

only flesh & bone.

seeds

He said,

"I did everything right.

I painted a picture

& gave her time."

but seeds

become roots

so strong

they grow to be trees

forever.

& forever is much too long.

heartbreak goes like this.

my heart is made of glass

& your love is a stone

bound to shatter and break

as if you came through my window

the man of my dreams.

when i'm sad

i cry to you

when i'm angry

you take the beating

when i wake

you're still there

you are the essence

of comfortable

i miss you

throughout my day

if i could

i would spend

every minute

of every day

with you

now if only i can find a man

who's more like my pillow...

Sea of You

your name

came up

in conversation

and my heart

screamed out

for mercy

i said

"i can't hold my breath"

yet you still

threw me in

into a sea of you

matters of

my head decides

but my heart refuses

my mouth talks me out of it

my shoulders shrug

and my toes tap

arms cross

my stomach starts to knot

all because

my heart

and my head

can't be friends

4am dream

i guess that i was

looking for magic

its happened too many times

with all the wrong guys

they always want a love

that stays static

but love's the only movement

that i recognize

...but i shouldn't

expect better

at this rate

i'd be lucky

if someone

wanted me

forever...
