Anxilong

This is hopeless.
I'm standing on letters addressed to myself,
I'm standing on you.

Is this hopeless?
Ban this letter.

And I know what you do,
And I know you know it too

I'm afraid so,
Say no more.

I'm standing on letters,
are you?
I'm dancing on you.

 

 

Every Month's 22nd.

It's such a beautiful sick
when you consider the cure
It's such a beautiful sick..
And a disaster with skeptics.

And then he spoke;
We've mistaken the future for a dream come true.
And then we spoke;
Burn down the reasons that you will fail this time
It's seconds that you stole,
It's seconds that you stole.

Solace comes with another
dead ringer for a dream lover.

It's you that you stole.

Sleep and What I'll Never Have

Neverending hopefulness is reason enough to never to forget anything I have dreamt of.

Last night I dreamt of her,
And that she wanted to be with me,
Last night I dreamt of her,
That she dropped everything just to be with me.

I am more inconvenience to myself than a disconnection ever could be.

I never thought that hope could hurt like this.

I'm flying on inconvenient locale,
I will never forget your face.
My love for you is measured in sleeping pills,
And I'm strangling myself with the cord.

I will forever run in circles because it always comes back to you.

I swallow forgetting you.

I never thought that hope could hurt like this.

Carving Hearts Into. . .

The whole ride I tried to catch
the reflection of your eyes.
Dreams can be so cruel when
the only thing I want is you.

Time after time it fails to come true,
it always comes back to you.
Time passes with every sigh
believe it or not, not a day goes by.

Sleep won't come.

Trying to
Hold on to
These memories
Starring two.

November Confession

I don't care what you have to say
Everything you've ever said to me
I don't care what you have to say
Everything you've ever said to me

Force fed another example
Of me without you

Seperation with eyelids swollen shut,
Mend me with words that have no meaning.

I'll scream until my heart stops.
I'll scream. until. my. heart. stops.

Force fed another example
Of me without you

Seperation with eyelids swollen shut,
Mend me with words that have no meaning.

I'll paint the walls with pleasant memories of you.

Tell me it gets better than this,
No regrets.

Novella Trite

If this is love,
Hang me from the highest tree
With a note
For the world to see.

The sound of the night is
too much to bear right now
As I drive [to the place where you gave my
heart its first decorative scar]
And on the wall behind my eyes,
I paste another picture of you.
Not the one you'd expect,
But the one you'd discard

Tears passing over a smile
It's raining..
..but not enough
I could cry
Wet street and weak knees
Maybe the angels can hear me scream.

Tasting rust in my mouth,
Expecting the usual,
But finding
The words you spoke
Leave the same flavor.

What do you want me to say?
