as sunrise beckons
and stars fade to blue
I catch myself lonely
and thinking of you

your steely gaze and
few words said aloud
i& #39;m not on your mind but
I just want to make you proud
i imagine that your chest feels like a bed of flowers
like laying in the grass
like soaking in the sun
but i imagine under that, caged beneath your ribs
waits a chaotic heart close to bursting
waits a storm of love and endless hurting
how do you contain that heart so well?
i dont deserve it
the rough kisses, the big gesture
i don& #39;t deserve it
grand meals, hope from conjecture
i don& #39;t deserve it
your empathy, a soft spoken lecture
i don& #39;t deserve it
and i cannot
take
the pressure
some days i feel like a re-animated corpse
they pull my strings from above,
they make me dance in the shadows
i watch with no remorse

until i am re-buried in
the warmth of my blankets
and it occurs to me that it was i
it was i
it was i, all along
I long so much
to feed from the sun
grass between my toes
nourished by the earth

mother nature will hold me
lift me from the weight of the world
I so wish that she would hold me
long before I hit the dirt
Fresh bruises
Upon ancient scars
Firm reminder
Of where we are

Say please and thank you
Don& #39;t drop the smile
Perfected the act
For a long while

Under the boot
I see the moon
I know light is coming
I& #39;ll be free soon
I live in the fantasy
Where your eyes gaze into mine
Maybe your heart flutters too
And we are together somewhere
Bright and green

I live in the fantasy
That I look like your dreams
And I smile at my reflection
With no fear of loss
Hope lies still
Heavy eyelids, sinking heart
Hours spent gazing into art
You think I& #39;m pretty, think I& #39;m smart
But who knows just when you& #39;ll choose to depart

Maybe I am not good enough
To face a journey ahead so tough
The path to get here has been rough
I wish to be loved without rebuff
