my lover

Particles slipping underneath the marble
Particles sinking underneath the concrete
My lover he don't want to hold me as I weep
My lover he don't want to have me as the one to keep
My lover he don't travel often but when he does
It's me he won't take
He's leavin' me
But you hold me like a burning flower
And I slip right through your hand
You warm my nectar
Drop me to the cold when I'm awake
Etched in me the lines you colour
Careless and bleeding through and through
Shaping into blue
Baby I'm blue for you
My lover is gone
My lover turns away when he wants me the most
Aching in my heart I wanna hold him close
Warm his bones, set fire to his insides
My lover, he's a fool
What does that make me?
I'm a fool for you
My lover is gone

don't let it happen

i’m finding the way to hold myself
when my heart it screams in spite
is that the catalyst I need?
to learn the holy love of self
i’ll wrap my arms between my inner thigh
clench my legs into the night
I see you there as the reason
for our distance that I never wanted
I don't care the reason
Don't let it happen
the space between us is growing larger than this room
i can’t let blame reach me, I won't be hard like you
i’ll wrap my arms between my inner thigh
clench my legs into the night
I see you there as the reason
for our distance that I never wanted
I don't care the reason
Don't let it happen
we've become frozen bodies,
Unreachable.
which one will blow warmth to thaw the hurt first
i feel strongest when
it’s me.
the choice of weakness is a wicked one
a strange path to nowhere on
choking on my own tongue
with droppings from my eyes
a soft touch to the one I love,
will you hold me?
I got no reply
Don't let it happen .

city song

A lonely heart can't compete with shuffling eyes and peculiar feet
Hums and grunts, laughs, and sombre faces
these are the spaces that keep me warm
It's not too much
Reflections of the earth
In this one swirling madness
Grab your stillness for this
Rounded spine, hard spine, leaking spine
- symbols of this innerscape
Moving outward
Turning on its side
Back to the sky,
hands on pavement
I hear you I hear you, I hear you
come back, come
come back, come back
you have stolen the best parts of me
thank god for that
Drawing lines to find the time
And you hand me the eraser
Calls me on
Into the pocket's jingle
His kiss was energy for me
feeding me simple complexities
A nourishing wrap around of
I'll take more
Now please, I'll give more please
City lights oh overcast my luminance
The day is over, and
We're needing your sparkle
I hear you I hear you I hear you oh
chorus:
come back come
come back come back
you've stolen the best parts of me
and thank god for that
meddling minds can't live here
In the Smoky air and lack of field
race to the finish line
I never finish
I'm floating in grace
Dancing suns in your eyes
Wide laced with precious feeling
I can't ever leave you
this city love breaks me and bends me
If I don't keep my footing
Challenges of the preformed grooves
Old and breaking
break them all away
Reformulating play reformations
Break them all awaaaay
chorus:
come back come
come back come back
you've stolen the best parts of me
and thank god for that

water me down

Oh, waiting for the storm to come
As I'm strumming alone on my own
Starring in the mirror it looks back at me and shatters
‘cuz of all the secrets I keep tucked away
So maybe for now, I will breathe in the silence out loud
And feel my fingers on this empty wood
Oh waiting for the storm to pass
I will sit quietly
Ears openin’ up
I am carrying my demons close to me,
Tucked in my back pocket for only me to see
How could he ever know me
How could I ever show you
A broken picture covered in roses
Water me down
Water me down
Water me down
Water me down
But then the wind it blows me away
And the demons unleash beyond me
And I am seen
I am seen
And I just stay still
As the pieces are breaking around
I’m out of control now
I cannot take it all back
Oh waiting for the wind to change
Ohh, what if he sees
He knows it’s not me
But then he knows he has lost to them
And I, too, have become undone
I let them in
Time and time again
They’ve built a home inside my body
How could I remember
How could you surrender
A broken picture covered in roses
Water me down
Water me down
Water me down
Water me down
He's calling me down to the spotlight
Has a chair all ready to confess
To share
All of my secrets
But I cannot say it
I can only sing the truth
Water me down
Water me down
.

Can I forgive me
Can I forgive me
Can I forgive me
Can I forgive me
Can I?

never alone

I watched you go
I stood there on my tip toes
Waiting for you to come back
Mornings stretch into afternoons that scream
and settle into heart as a whisper
Love, do you know?
You never have to carry anything alone ever again
Never again
The body speaks in magnificent tones
your resounding gifts for all to hold
Love, do you know?
You never have to carry anything alone ever again
Never again
You've been in the shadows far too long,
Escaping the small, this fertile scape is tall
Time was short and god is good
For bringing us here - on fire 🔥
I watched you go
I stood there on my tip toes. . .
