Don’t you see
How weighted we are?
Will love prevail this time?
Has it ever before?
I know I know
How empty you’ve felt
But if you’d let me linger,
I could fill the void,
You might be a lot to manage,
But i am stronger than perceived,
Opening and closing,
I’m counting days til we meet,
Did you find the place where you left off?
Buried under heaps of heavy sky,
I’ll dig a trench to keep you safe,
By the side of the road,
Watching speeding cars pass,
Searching for your face,
Spot lit by the sunlight,
Here you come to save me,
Flames eating at my halo,
These poisoned ideas,
You could take me to a desolate place,
I wouldn’t tell,
How typical a tale,
To kill my pragmatic legacy,
But you make my mind crawl,
Into corners I never knew hid in my head

All the contradictions,
Bled me nowhere,
Just left me lying empty,
The thoughts that meandered my way,
I’ll pass off as your confusion,
Tear yourself between misdirection,
Gun me down,
They’ll keep coursing through me,
I’m still moving,
Letters that you’ll write,
Filling up the sorrowful room,
Who’s going to read them, with as much dignity?
I held you high on a pedestal,
But stole the weight from under your feet,
Now it’s all you’ve got,
Ceaseless and unchanging,
Seizing and phasing

I wish I had known you,
When you were alive,
I would have loved you,
Shown you the reasons,
This world couldn’t have gotten on,
Without you,
Hearing your voice,
Much too late,
What drove you to leave this way?
Can you watch what’s happening,
Where you are?
Know how heavy our hearts are to carry?
I could tie yours to mine if you came back,
If you floated down to meet me,
I’ll save a place,
Every chord inspires me,
I couldn’t care more,
About your misses and arrows,
Leading me to tomorrow,
Erase the puddles that clouded your judgment,
And crowded your heart,
We could be unhappy and belong,
Rock me to sleep

I’ve lost you now,
My heart won’t sing a sad tune,
Not for you,
Underneath every hope,
My layer of misery,
Has been revoked,
I don’t feel the sting,
Every day that you’re not here,
Is one less lonely,
Steps closer to the right one,
I know what I’m searching for,
Someone to wake me with a sweet melody,
I might live a long life on my own,
but I have all I’ll ever need.

I’ve fallen in love with a song,
A face I see in photographs,
There is no future,
But this romance with his words,
My thoughts embodied,
Echo in my room,
Invading my head,
Will I meet you when I rest my eyes?
Take me to your world

My mind is so clear
With the sun in my eyes
Squinting out philosophies,
The highway brings such a sense of clarity,
Here nothing can taint my mood,
I can forget the madness of reality,
What you meant to me,
Isn’t near as impacting,
At this speed,
There is no stopping my spirit from soaring,
Why can’t I feel this way every day?
Free, running where I want to,
Remembering moments I wish I could go back to,
Meet me in my mind
