Three Six Five

We've made the great voyage
From the light side through darkness
Sailed smooth and over those rocks too
And now that we're back to where we started

I'm just waiting to round the sun with you again

Left Unattended

The last time you tasted me
I was well overdone
Charred, tough and bland
I watched you soldier through

The feast you know you spoiled

Hidden Agenda

I hardly believed you
Though I truly wanted to
When you said from the heart
That you think we are a match

How could I ever believe you now

Content

The religious today
Are more concerned​ with sharing
The content of their religion
Than the substance of it

They share what they possess

Hindsight

I regret not accepting
A love like yours where
I never had to question
Now there is certainly no question

Nobody loves me as much as you

Back and Forth

Restless in my presence
At peace as she travels away
She thinks she lives in the moment
But she's just afraid of the future

And I reckon reliving her past

To the Point

My stories were
What made you stay
Perhaps the only thing
Now they're my daily reminder that

For you the clock is ticking on us

Incessant

There shouldn't be any
Crickets in the winter
What is that horrible noise
Why won't it let me sleep

So many voices but not my own

Let Cupid

Let them rain down

Let them draw blood

Let them pierce flesh and spring tears

These arrows are surgeon and nurse if they

Let me find the way to your heart

Playing Field

Notice how quickly
The game of love
Turns into the game of war
And when it's played without goals

How closely we keep score

Freely Linked

We love it when
Our arms are locked
Bur our hands aren't tied
No pulling or obligation

Just excited to see the show together

Waves

You're not
Playing with fire
Treating me this way
You're playing with water

You'll drown before I crash

Ghost

I'm tired of you
Choosing when I exist
And when I do not
Yet if the choice is left to me

You still get to decide if I even have one

Vacancy

I could have stayed
For what it's worth
Enjoyed him like a
Good, stable job with decent pay

Until a more enthused applicant arose

Dwelling

Alone again
Home again
I keep leaving
And keep returning

To these painful open arms

Functional

I have kept myself
Together, hard
I need buckets
Of tears now

To remold myself

Sooner

Come here before
I erect a mountain between us
Forcing you to journey great lengths
To prove this is where you want to be

Or deafen me from your lack of footsteps

Stirring

Compassion
Why did you leave me alone
With devotion and without reciprocity
I have drank from this bitter mixture faithfully

Hoping it serves as medicine and not poison

This Year

The despair of this year
Has been the closing of eyes to the truth
The opening of the ears to noise
The bellowing of the mouth to falsities

The crippling silence of hearts that no longer beat

Waves

It's always so rough
You crash into my flesh hoping for
It to be over, me to be over, soon
So you can go back to the pleasing yourself

In a room where I am yet to belong

While there's time

I've chased your gratification
Leaving my own in the dust behind me
I don't know what I actually want
Now that pleasing you has revealed its transience

How could I not chase after the eternal

Relief

I don't love you
Saying this to you has been
The most satisfying feeling I've had
Since you told me you love me

In fact, it has been far more satisfying

Stifled

Fine, you win
I am completely flaccid
You've invalidated me to the point
That I no longer have faith that

I can be desired from anywhere but afar

I'm going out

This isn't it
Not for a lifetime, no
What a waste of two lives
To spend bickering over love

Instead of going out and finding it

Balance

I have walked along
A most dangerous line
Which borders constant realization
And constant dissatisfaction

Watching bliss cross over territories freely

Edifice

Ironically the version of me
You are working so hard to
Acquaint yourself with
Is a damn illusion

Today has become a crucial new day

Clouds

Again it is such
That I have not dreamed
For many months on end
Instead I replay my daily slumber

Auditing my supposed awakenings
