By The Tree

I guess this is the waiting game, So I’ll be stationed. By the tree, You will not find me chasing fame, I guess this is the - waiting game; A subtle switch or stay the same. This is the time to wait and see. I guess this is the waiting game, So I’ll be stationed by the tree. JP

Autumn

We met secretly in a forest And we hand painted all the leaves red With our dancing bursts of fervor. We waited until all the leaves fell Then we lay on them, Kissing and caressing as the bare branches Decorated the jubilant gray sky. JP

Grow Up Old

Remember what we used to say? We couldn’t wait to grow up old. Once as children and we would play, Remember what we used to say? Our innocence was lost that way. We bought all the lies that were told. Remember what we used to say? We couldn’t wait to grow up old.

We’re Just Pretending

Are you in a hurry? Stay a while. Let’s pretend to love each other, It shouldn’t be hard. It doesn’t have to be real. All you have to do is stay. Let’s just be happy and have fun Even if it’s pretend. JP

That Gray Sweater You Left

I wake up and I can feel a gun Aiming at my head’s inner most Thoughts of you still waving, Reaching the surface, Crashing against my skin. I tell you it hurts and you push Away, where I don’t crash, where I don’t reach, Where I don’t wave a gun at your head. JP

Green Eyes And Envy/The Cup

Let my soul pour into your cup. Let the rest of me and what that brings follow. My love, my bones, tissue, cells and wrath. Green eyes and envy. Do I fill your cup or am I not enough? Do I leak from your rim? Would you start your mornings with me? Smell me, taste me. Do I fill your cup? JP

Two To Tango

I heard it takes two to tango. You’ll see me moving to the beat. I’m an offensive commando. I heard it takes two to tango. It’s a firefight ‘til one stands though- Instead, we’re grooving in the heat. I heard it takes two to tango, You’ll see me moving to the beat.

Love Is

I thought love was us being happy together. But love is me alone - missing you. Love is me at home reminiscing if it was true. Love is fading into dark matter. My heart shatters and stars scatter. I’m thinking that love is pain, When it should be; the taste of your lips Launching me above the rain, The size of your heart, the grace of your hips. Love should be what you felt at first and only gets stronger.
