Isolated and Destroyed, Vice Versa

Then came Tuesday, and you were gone.

"It could be worse. No it couldn't."

Six Words

Van

Do you remember how it was?

When we would ride our bikes,

How the grass was still wet,

How your tires lost their grip,

Remember, you had scraped your knees,

and I softly rubbed them better

The sun glistened in your eyes,

I will never forget your smile.

Van

Do you remember our river dam?

The big one in the park?

Remember the water was so cold,

We found that half buried wheelbarrow,

That we used to carry rocks,

We would spend all day building,

We would walk home at sunset

With dirt stains in our shorts.

Shara

Remember when we would go camping?

And would stare at the stars,

They were so bright up there,

A sound rippled through the air,

I swear the trees had whispered,

A whisper so faint and quiet,  

So quiet only I could hear,

Six sad words through my ear,

"please, don't grow up to fast"

Between the Bars

Sleep walking and nothing seems wrong,
The sound is faint as I follow her crying song,
My toes stub concrete to the distant pound,
Following a memory's path to familiar ground.

It felt so real to touch the grass, dreaming like she were there,
Her diegetic tune whispers through the air,
A touch of breeze like running my fingers through her hair,
Only the teary-eyed stars can see how this is unfair.

Our love once shined like moon beams,
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams,*
Giving the sound that pecks at the hearts seams,
Jilted jars, scabbing scars, between the bars,
Exposed to fears, my fingers wipe away her tears.

Teary-eyed stars

Not In Love

I saw your picture
Hanging on the back of my door
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again

Cause it's cold outside
When you coming home
Cause it's hot inside
Isn't that enough

I'm not in love

Could it be that
Time has taken its toll
Won't take you so far
I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again

Cause it's cold outside
When you coming home
Cause it's hot inside
Isn't that enough

I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love

Face Down in the Ocean

I am a piece of driftwood,
I'd tell you different if I could,
I've always wanted to sail but not this way,
If only this ocean didn't wash me away.
love has lead me astray,
stupid, pointless, foul play.

I've never felt so alone,
Torn, my broken heart shown,
My tree rings are eroding,
My soul is corroding,
I can't stop floating,
Where's my bark coating?

A small heart carving,
Sad uncontrollable starving,
Face down in the ocean,
Truly unknown emotion,
Was your love just lust?
How could you break my trust?

Why can't I just sink and drown,
Mute my lousy heart's pound,
There is nothing to see out here,
In an ocean shed from a tear,
Oh, Lighthouse, if only you could hear,
Will I ever reach your pier?

I'm scared to drown in my deepest fears
My bottomless sea made of tears.
It's painful, I'm sorry that I care,
But I just can't let my heart repair.
