Can you stay with me
For a little while
Until i fall
Asleep?
I'm back where I belong, it seems
By myself at last.
I tell myself it's what I need
But thoughts are coming fast.
Am i a glass half emtpy
Or am i nearly full?
Or am i somehow
A shattered glass
Never to be filled at all
Honesty comes easily
To everyone but me.
I time my words with the waves
And hope they'll get lost at sea.
As a liar and a fraud,
I understand deceit
Yet crave it more than truth
So it is all I seek
I used to be a poet once
But now I've lost my spark
The words that once came freely
Are lost now in the dark.
I try not to get discouraged
At this subtle, painful change
But I've become a different person now
Though I yearn to be the same.
If it takes me falling
For you to fly
Then I would plummet
A thousand miles
For you to soar
Again
Tonight lets dance
Like daffodils
In a hurricane
Beautiful, flying
Braving the gusts
Of wind
That threaten to tear us
Apart
Like how language
Gets jumbled over time,
We became two mouths
Tangled in our misery.
Each meaning the same thing
Yet unable to comprehend
The other.
Are we not both proclaiming love
But losing the feeling
By the tossing and turning
Of borrowed time?
My heart is torn
Between two homes
The one i know
And the one I've yet to find
Im a bit too prideful to admit
That im afraid to say im wrong
But you already knew that, babe
And you have for far too long
