Can't Be Yours, Can't Be Torn,

my songs are going to come true

and one by one, each one of you, too,

Try to relinquish my thoughts, but what would that do?

a songstress with something on her mind,

and nothing to fall on top of behind,

trying to patch things that never were, or never was

doesn't matter if it never takes off

because all of this will always be enough.

spent time walking

watching

memories drive by

What runs once used to be slow

the bad things used to feel good

i sit in wonder

sun dust spinning around us

an ache I used to feel, once

just cause it got the best of me don’t mean I’ll keep on thinking it through

Or let myself sit any longer in this abandoned room

-s’s.

an orchestra of stars 

the strings start tuning. the

notes dance in disarray until 

they find their rhythm, and i 

raise my hands to direct the 

stars that blink in unison.

~K.T.

a troubadour regrets,

I listen to her music

and watch her pray

about the things

she let in too late

Too late.

-s's.

You’re not the origin

you’re addicted to leaving

and the old souls hold close their

broken things; clear glass,

porcelain and knickknacks

-s's.

it’s all so heavy in ways I don’t see coming

I’m part of a crack; an idea that you lack

and I’ve bought myself down into mystery

Inviting in dreams I’ll have to look over

Bringing them in

—again and again

but it’s nothing like what’s coming

nothing is like this cruel ending

-s’s.
