help me put my bags in the back of your car you’re just as pretty up close as from afar you reach for my hand driving home superposition on the radio out the window is the old fear factory i can’t help but watch your face while you sing we didn’t have enough time for a full serenade felt like the movie ended before we could press play and we walked up and down the whole damn town watched the evangelicals stand their own ground you and i worshiped two or three times a day i looked in your eyes when you got on your knees to pray and i loved you as much as i feared you and i held you just as i revered you and i sacrificed myself as an offering to you but you didn’t want a martyr, did you?

you asked me to meet you in a dream yes, i will, i replied swiftly for a moment’s pleasure seems far more important than honesty. have you ever watched a mushroom grow? some have spores which, at night, glow they come alive and spread and know in summer with their seeds to sew. to kill your hero seems as bitter i truly am an awful knitter the tapestries we weave together might have left alone been better.

i've exaggerated you in my head i saw love where it wasn't yet you broke my heart gently in your bed and cradled me, soft against your chest

in the morning, you fed and kissed me and when i turned around, stood waving on the way home, kept composed, behaving the sea didn't take me as i'd been praying

it's my secret that i've mourned for weeks my disappointment is not yours to keep just forgive me if i shake when i speak it's steady downhill after the peak

an unexpected error in my programming an oversight, a glitch in my system a skip in my heartbeat unaccounted for, verily i built myself from the ground up structured so carefully, strong to withstand anything and then came you the missed variable. i realized in this matter, i had my head buried deep in the sand but you dug me out, and i digress, the malfunction was necessary the lack of sleight of hand for when came you so the rest of me did, too. and so my heart skips ardently, when i shut down for the night and let visions of you set the scene and paint my dreams so vividly. i have found the final piece, it was merely your hand on my cheek.

sixteen hours never felt so long but eight flow by like a breeze we said we'll wait and see where the wind carries but you know where i'll be, anywhere but home if you're not beside me. i wish i were the ocean just to have a taste one warm and sandy evening of your lingering embrace and eventually precipitate follow you home like a dog you didn't plan for rain but humidity comes along wraps you up, swallows you consumed, as fire does to log and when i bring my heart to your door gripped between my stained teeth i'll find you sitting on the porch palms open, ready to receive.

Silly Goose No, it’s not my nose. All his smell has gone out of his clothes. Is been replaced by absence, like him I wish it were a fantasy, joke or a whim No need to cry, no need for tears They won’t bring him back; he’s been gone for years I’d rather panic &...
