Circle near your childhood house,
Fighting every urge to stop.
I can’t be sure why I brought myself here,
Knowing that you’ve moved on.
Part of me still dreams in us.
He and I refuse to speak.
But, I believe there is beauty still!
(In imperfect symmetry)
You’re the first word of an unfinished sentence
Cut short and swept under my tongue
Real stars explode,
But our love will only fade.

I still remember
Faint smells of basements & kerosene
Can somebody tell me
Why your face is in all my dreams?
I’m in love with an echo,
But that will have to do for me
The reverberations
Of who I wish you’d be
Walk slow, but you’re moving so quickly
Down hallways that I swear weren’t here last night
Everybody’s got their reasons to jump off
Already falling now I’m praying to take flight
As I slowly remove,
Every imperfection I’ll be beautiful like you
How do such complex thoughts become routine?

Meaningfulness
Is nothing more than the blue print of an idea
Gaze through angst and despair
Or lack thereof,
And we pretend like something’s there.
The agony!
Born in the dark,
And cursed to be free
Do words we don’t define
Cease to exist, and float in the air?
I’ve lost all faith that there’s a heart inside my chest
'Cause when you truly give your all, there’s nothing left
Existence precedes
Any role I could define
She whispered that sometimes just being is more than
I ever could hope for
Just keep doing nothing.
I promise you dearest,
Just being is more than I ever could hope for.
Just keeping doing nothing.

How I’d do anything
To fall with the snow
Reminding me of why you left
And hiding me from where to go
Clouds that whisper sofly,
Clouds that I made
Our lives are storms that I create
Accumulate! Accumulate!
I’ve tried my best to vanish, I Promise.
You’ve proved that I’m nothing.
I’m your only nothing.
I am the glass tree
Destroy paper forests
I shatter, I shatter
There’s beauty in nothing
I hope that it’s warm wherever you’re hiding
And I’ll be the first snow; The winter inside you
Snowed in the house where you left from
What once was your laughter now sleeps hear beside me
