Moss Pillows in the Field
My pillow is sheeted in moss
Maybe this is where
The sun shines not enough
I sleep here
Guard your memory from growing green
Listen to lullaby engravings
Brush cold stone
Breath alone
Feel your absence
Maybe this is where
The sun shines not enough
I sleep here
Guard your memory from growing green
Listen to lullaby engravings
Brush cold stone
Breath alone
Feel your absence

Suffocated
You were
rare air
in my lungs
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest
stills

Love can be quite painful
Love is all around
Like a serial killer
At least the killer kills you
Love just bleeds you slow
Like a serial killer
At least the killer kills you

Pierce
Like a knife through
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?

Cruel
Shards that glitter
Ice?
No.
Glass.
Delicately slice
Handfuls of ribbons
Unraveling my fingerprints
I leave myself
In bright, red prints
On your cool, blue surface
Hard, cold, sharp
Cruel.
Ice?
No.
Glass.
Delicately slice
Handfuls of ribbons
Unraveling my fingerprints
I leave myself
In bright, red prints
On your cool, blue surface
Hard, cold, sharp
Cruel.

Father
I am the fool who screams,
When I know you’ll smother my words.
Call me the clown.
Father.
When I know you’ll smother my words.
Call me the clown.
Father.

Glitz
Somewhere, beyond the glitz
Of romantic bliss
Lies a true love
Men do insist
That truly does exist
But only for those
Willing to take a risk
That in the end
Only pain exists
Of romantic bliss
Lies a true love
Men do insist
That truly does exist
But only for those
Willing to take a risk
That in the end
Only pain exists

Quiet
I can’t scream at you.
I’m not even sure I want to.
It’s the silence that hurts the most.
I’m not even sure I want to.
It’s the silence that hurts the most.

When Hearts Divide
I miss you,
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.

Squashed
Help is on the way
Person wounded as he lays
Silenced, not to say

Every Heart Breaks
At one time or another
When love has played out
In a disappointing way
It's only natural to
Retreat in pain
Once in a while
Every Heart breaks

In a disappointing way
It's only natural to
Retreat in pain

Every Heart breaks
