“What is wisdom but understanding that you can never know everything about anything?”

Breathe to Die

Breathe into this shell
And see what awakens

Your fantasy
Your nightmare

This path you take
Must be a mistake

Clickety-clack goes the
Wheels on the track

Push a little farther now
Hold onto this feeling

Never understand
The way it withers

Turns to ashes once
Again, over and over

Time is up, past due

Collect the toll now

Little Closer

Harsh
You wanted this to be harsh
Instead, we’re oh so soft
Delicate and sensual

Something new to both of
Us, tender in this moment
Never thought to try
Before

This method of communicating
Without pain
Fear
Loss

Just a little closer now
Hand to hand
Cheek to cheek
Let’s be gentle

Nothing to lose

Try something new
Grab onto a little hope
Tonight

Loop

I’m tired
Of waiting to hear you say
That you’re sorry for all
The pain that we caused
Each other

I’m tired
Of this game we end up
Playing every time we walk
Into a room and then see
Each other

I’m tired
Of how long we’ve been
Circling around - all the same
Words over and over again -
Each other

I’m tired
Of seeing your face and wondering
What dark thoughts are lurking
How easy it is for us now to hurt
Each other

I’m tired

Of living in this neverending
Moment where nothing ever
Changes, and so we’re stuck with
Each other
