rest my weary head upon your shoulder
we'll cry for the world, how we're all getting older
-
rest your weary head upon my shoulder
cry for the world, how we're all getting older
-
Thank the godless
that I'm worthless.
-
I need words and meaning to overflow,
dripping from the peaks of my lips
-
and I keep scribbling
between the lines
-
The only defense against falling in love
is knowing there is no defense
-
Someone walked along the downtown sidewalk
and somehow slipped away, unnoticed
-
-
I kept the letter
where you told me you'd be mine
-
The needle spins on old vinyl
and speaks of 1950's romance.
-
Those precious breezes
clear away heartache and pain
-
I watch you dance in the yard,
grass climbing between your toes
-
Our bodies create
intolerable friction
-
Remember when we talked
about everything
-
You sounded so old,
wizened by years and memories
-
melancholy
enough to taste
-
A spoonful of sugar makes the
medicine eases my broken heart
-
attempting blatant mental suicide
a razor blade against pursed lips
-
emotions reject words.
fragmentations with fleeting heartbeats of clarity
-
I've built up my wall
so well over the years
-
dead center in the pews
a straight line to the altar
-
Your light kisses
melt on my lips,
-
Your song melts against my glass wall
like rain after a thunderstorm
-
Romance, romance...
I never thought Juliet made much sense.
-
The touch of a new hand is welcomed here;
a graze on my skin to erase the pain,
-
Sometimes
it's not about faking it
-
Unfulfilled notions of the sweetest melody
Lean in a little closer, now here, succumb to me.
-
My downward spiral
of lily-white precision
-
Its kind of like depression,
but more deserved
-
Can you accept that
every second that's passed has really passed
-
This is for the fathers
whose hearts have left their bodies.
-
Your 'sweet dreams' are carry-words
like the luggage at the airport
-
A fingertip in the sky
is irremarkable
-
The world is exquisite
once I close my eyes.
-
I let the wind,
once your fingers,
