the sun's coming out at 7pm
i'm tired of thinking i'm playing pretend
shattered my doubts when i saw your face
quiet light quiet darkness failed to erase
so don't, don't slip
with me into the currents
that drown me at night
ooh, that drown out my fight
just take this
my hand, can you feel the wildflowers
blooming inside?
ooh, your spring is so bright
the rains coming down at 7am
im tired of sleeping, but i stay in bed
you slept through the thunder and lightning all night
wasn't scared, but i'm glad that you still held me tight
so don't, don't slip
with me into the currents
that drown me at night
ooh, that drown out my fight
just take this
my heart, can you feel it lifting
lifting my eyes
ooh, your third of june skies

blackberry kiss

shadow puppets dancing on the wall
our hands intertwined before the fall
lights dancing on the ceiling
whispered "how do you see me?"
lilac kissing in the snow
soft skin touching in the glow
of streetlights in the heavy air
somehow i wasn't scared
wildflower lips, blackberry kiss
your spring rain touch, now i miss your love
golden shoulders in a heat daze
fingertips steady watching my face
summer touch
colour rush
blue-sky hands reach out now
warm wind night with the stars out
windows down
heart unwound
wildfire lips, that sun drenched kiss
late july touch, now i miss your love
wildflower lips, blackberry kiss
your spring rain touch, now i miss your
wildfire lips, that sun drenched kiss
late july touch, now i miss your love

words that i wrote on the back of your hand
names that we drew in the silver wet sand
your hands were freezing when you touched my neck
it was slow it was sweet and now i can’t forget
birds in the grey sky, waves cold like the air
their dissonant cries and the salt in your hair
unraveled some barren and desolate thing
the earth was in winter our hearts were in spring
ink fades
sand slips away
hearts break
like cold november waves
quiet and raw like the sting of the wind
silently starts and seeps into our skin
wandering footprints pulled out with the tide
i’ll never know stillness or peace like your eyes
ink fades
sand slips away
hearts break
‘till the sea spills down your face

sunburns

clear blue endless skies
pages filled with lies
i stay in the heat till my head hurts
i lay in the sun till my skin burns
in and out the door
lie on basement floors
quietly slipping through the day
i wish that i could stay
and that was us
we thought we found a heaven we could trust
just wait another minute turn to dust
sunburned lips on mine
written in my mind
holding hands till our fingers hurt
dying to be learned
comets in your eyes
take me back in time
if we just watched one more sunset
would i still be glad we met?
and that was us
we thought we found a heaven we could trust
just wait another minute turn to dust
dark blue lightning skies
trying not to cry
i stand in the rain till my hands shake
i stay in the cold till my bones ache

memories

first note of that song was sung
pushed the breath back in my lungs
by the time i reached the second line
pulled out my heart out, broke my spine
i was untied
unraveled by you
there's a first time for everything
but there's a last one too
and i hate the part of me
that still holds some part of you
she says maybe in another life i'd
still be yours, and you'd be mine
ruins of memories
wasting in my mind
beautiful, crumbling
in the golden light
some in corners of my mind
covered in december snow
others laying plainly
bare, gray, cold
like at the start when you heard me listening to that song that you adored
or at the end when all of our polaroids fell down when you slammed the door
or somewhere in between you kissed me, and the ocean fell to its floor
you told me close your eyes
and memorize the sound
i think you meant the waves
that's not what i took down
i took your heartbeat
your laugh and the sound of you breathing
all the small things
from my hand to your hands when our eyes were meeting
your footsteps
the sound of my name as it fell off of your lips
i hear all of It
ringing in my ears after you left
so it's time to put the flowers in the snow
and pretend that i could ever let you go
