His Kiss

He tasted like a soft whisper
A promise of breathtaking love

Most Favorite

You are my favorite
of favorites
out of all the favorites

I Have A Cold Side

Don't take it personally
I've never loved anyone
The way you're supposed
And as years come and go
That kind of love
Seems fickle and too fancy

I've loved, of course
Giddy
Obsessed
Entangled
Enslaved by thoughts and questions
The every day I used to know
In constant shadow

Still, I dabble
A kiss here
A lover there
And before I become a ghost
Of the fresh character you remember
I will catch myself and walk away

All The Chances In The World

You were a gentle hand on the small of my back and a sober truth
A fragile man child, a gooey marshmallow
You were a soft whisper and the promise of breathtaking love

But there was a flip side

You were also a strutting peacock and a brooding hot mess
A raging bull, a scorpion waiting to sting
You were a glint of menace and a smashed bottle in a bar fight

It was the second guy who stole all our chances

Or Not

I'm not even worried
About what you're doing
Or who you're doing it with
Because when the time's right
You'll be doing it with me
Or not

It's Your Fault

Today, I'm sad
I'm stuck
My head is noisy with you
But you're not saying anything

The quiet
Is heavy and dull
Sitting across my chest
Pulling on my bones
Leaving me exhausted

You'll never talk to me
The way I want

And that's why I can't let you in

Like The Heart Don't Lie

You knew I was falling for you
So you told me to trust in
my heart

Hearts are the worst liars
I said

It's Not My Fault

 

For as long as I can remember

There was always someone offended by me

People prefer a personality

They can manipulate and manage

It scares them when they can't

Good Or Bad

You have no idea
What memories I have
Of you

A Sure Thing

 

You asked why I left
So I told you -

I couldn't settle for someone
Who wasn't sure of me

Us

 




















Nothing is sexier
Than someone who wants you
As much as you want them

Alice

 

You were vitality and innocence

Brilliance and determination

You were the sun telling the moon to wait

And a field of daisies on a summer day

Do You Measure Up?

 

Sometimes, or rather, often

There is a vast difference

Between our tiny piece of the world

And how other people view their reality

It would serve us well

To entertain their circumstance

Their livelihood, and their journey

For if the tables were turned

How would our existence compare?

Don't Ask Again

I would have given you everything
But I only offer it once

Gonna Stop Pretending

 
My heart might
scientifically work the same way it always did

But it's not the same

It's just not

And I'm tired of pretending it is

You Were...

 

You were life and adventure

Smiles and energy

You were laughter in a quiet room

And sunshine on a gray day

When I looked into your eyes

The possibilities seemed endless

Tell Me

 

I want to know 

What you don’t want to tell

Or maybe what you’re dying to tell

But common sense tells you not to.
