grab me by my shoulder blades and hang me out to dry i’m a mess and i need someone to help me out with that
eyes just like a skyline even when they’re wet and the window is foggy and the window has a tint
a bed of flowers, stacks of wood, and a note
a farewell letter from 100 years ago
please remember to feed the cat
please remember that i’m never coming back
- 43
I waited while the line leads through the door
Over wooden floors, melody came flooding in
Our window was held open with the two-by-four
And I wished for aliens to come in and study my body
But that oak tree
In the front of the yard
The piles of leaves
The mountains and creeks
- Dandelion
Dandelion, follow my eyes
To the edge, but not one step, more
It's the sound that I need from your voice
To belong to the shape that I choose in my life
And the home is a garden that I can keep alive
Softest light, second cup
Of coffee, we haven't talked in a long time
- for my mom
it’s mothers day i love you mom i made some scrambled eggs
i went outside and watched the birds like i know you did today
i’m sorry i’m not there to eat some lobster and watch a movie later
i’m sorry i’m not there to hang out in the living room with paul newman
it’s mothers day i love you mom
it’s mothers day but i love you everday
- for the sea creatures
creatures of the sea you’re not real to me
living water things don’t stop to think of me
you could be pretend
and i would never know that
but i could be pretend
and i could never know that
- two ativan
two ativan for the day i get another ct scan
one cup of coffee and a leftover slice of pizza from last night
wouldn’t this be easier if i never left my home
wouldn’t this be easier if i stayed in the mountains alone
a mom and a dad who always do their best
but even they couldn’t stop me from near death
- Unholy Faces
We come in through the morning
Until the long time ago
And we search in through the morning
Cause you have lost your soul
Don't go don't go
Your dinner is waiting on me
Don't go i don't want you to go but i know you must go today
- Vacation
i don’t know how to be
what i wanted to be when i was 5
sometimes blue eyes sometimes green
——————————————
bike rides
snow hikes and christmas lights
sometimes freezing sometimes warm
i don’t know if i can love that anymore
- white light doorway
white light doorway here i am in the flesh again
does this make you want to see me here again
i’ll shout i’ll scream i’ll walk back but you’ll bring me in
white light doorway please spare me please forgive my sins
golden flowers metal diamonds on the wall
i’ve not been there i’ve not been here
please come quick i’ve stuck my head in the banister again
i slid and pulled and chafed my neck i’m freaking out
