The Enemy
The Chill
Seems to be ever consuming at times
Enemy of the cold nights
Tranquil in the silence
But the sun sometimes swallows me too
I wasn’t running
I didn’t know I should have been
I wasn’t running
And sometimes you’re like a rubix cube
And I am just like anything else that dances in the wind
I’ve started holding onto things again
The things I’m in fact trying to throw somewhere else;
Do you ever wonder
What it would have been like
If we weren’t so sure
If we met any later would we have grown together?...

Thank you
Can you pick me up saturday morning?
I’ll rustle my sheets and I’ll tell myself I will wash them later even though we know I won’t
Yes -
Can you just pick me up saturday morning?
You told me you weren’t going to give me advice
Because the best advice you can get is from yourself
And I’ve never felt more happy that you are my mother for saying that
For letting me make my own decisions
And smiling when you see my independence
Can you pick me up saturday morning?
I know you were once like me
Pretty in your own...

Rock Bottom
How does one stop themself from the self destruction
And how do they make up for all that they have ruined
My body
Boils
With evils sometimes
That I am unfamiliar with
To be this selfish
To be so sorry
For no one but me
I want to combust into the atmosphere
Never to be seen again
At times
Theres barely any time
To do it all
And too much time too
And so many memories
I’ve ruined with a lack or temperence
And how do they make up for all that they have ruined
My body
Boils
With evils sometimes
That I am unfamiliar with
To be this selfish
To be so sorry
For no one but me
I want to combust into the atmosphere
Never to be seen again
At times
Theres barely any time
To do it all
And too much time too
And so many memories
I’ve ruined with a lack or temperence

Wishing on Forever
Being strong
Being fragile
Abstracted from violence
Being tough
Yet so aggressively unraveled
Distanced from the wave
To show you who I am
Whatever that means
She reminds me nothing
is salvagable
Just because we think it is ours to keep
Nothing will be mine forever
The phrasing of wishing
Keeps me teathered to
Anywhere but here
Sometimes I want to hurt you
Or anyone
And the loss of action contributes
To my fears
And the best moments are the ones where we don’t need our...

Restless
I cried on the bathroom floor
Before walking over
The walls were so close
And I was so close
to dissapearing anywhere else
If I made it out alive
Distancing myself from my own bedroom
I have no where to call my own
I have nothing sometimes
And other times I know I’m lying
I cried in your bedroom by myself
In my bedroom with everyone else
In bathroom after bathroom
And the hallway outside of your door
And I’m tired of crying too
And I’m tired of a lot of things
To be the opposite of restless

The Words We Tell Eachother
So the moment has come
Complete tranquility
Illusion of beauty
Crumbling agility
And nothing is gone completely
Which almost is worse
You left today
And I stayed waiting
You forgot something
And I still stayed waiting
Hoping you didn’t notice the tears in my eyes when you came back in wondering
Where your things were
Goodbye you say
See you soon you say
You say many things
And I do too
I don’t know you say
Take care of you, I will you say
I say it back yet I still don’t know if either of...

You
I’ve been so in between lately
Laying in bed until 2pm
Dancing accross the house
And crying
I sent you something I made
And you said you were impressed
I improved
And I was suddenly giddy
Are you proud of me
God i hope so
Yes
Be proud of me please
Because I am so proud of you
And I have so many wishes
Some for you
And some for me
And many for us
You’ve got more than potential
And I want everyone to know it
I’m sorry
Why do I have such intimacy issues
I’m sorry
why do I...

Solitude
It’s nice
To hear the sounds of the living
After so much sleep among silence
Yes here the night is alive
With muffled faucets running
Door creeks
And talking next door
It almost makes getting in bed okay
It almost makes getting alone in bed okay
Because it reminds me I am not the only one in this world
Yes they are here too
Fumbling accross these hallways
And such
Dropping things
Scratching an arm
Thinking of mostly themselves
But of others too
Like me
And not like me maybe too
Yes ...

The Push and Pull
I wanna live
I wanna die
So much of wanting things
And watching things
In my mind
To be crushed into glass
To be sand
To be anything but who I am
And I feel hunted
arrow to my heart
If you can catch it in the dark
What does your smile feel like I forget
What does it mean to be with you
I digress
The push and pull
And peaches in the summer too
So much of our time has been spent
In bed
Staring into space
And the spaces of eachother too
I want to cry
I want to smile

Old tires old feelings
I’ve been driving lately
Worse than I used to
My car constantly lagging and swerving
While I put on a cd that makes me cry into the night
And I almost forget to turn my high beams off
Driving through the woods
And such
When you told me another dissapointment
I got into my car in the snow
And drove until I was crying too much I couldn’t see the road
I turned around
And passed the old tower
Remembering that spring
Long boarding down the hill
And watching her climb the fence after I had failed
I feel so...

Numb Again
I miss being sleepy
With you
Laying in your bed while you play guitar
Drowsy listening
And when you get in
It’s all silver
The darkness
And your voice
And your hands
and I smile
Because it is so beautiful
You are so beautiful
Sometimes
And I don’t care
If that’s the wrong adjective;
Tonight I thought of getting drunk
But We went bowling
And I got nervous about spending money
I Giggled too much
And had a stutter when I spoke
I felt like such an idiot
Yes such a fucking idiot; ...

I Get Frightened
You seem to know
when I am upset
without warning
even when we are away from each other
I lit the candles and crouched my body in the bath tub
I was a boat
floating in the night
and I almost felt graceful
when you said sorry
watching my hands and feet shine with beads of liquid
listening to the water when I moved gently
and I've grown frightened of my imagination
more so than ever
why must it make me dream of you so vividly
even when awake
yes was I awake?
I think yes
yet I forget what your kisses...
