listen
you can hear the clouds passing

who was mozart and what did he play?
was it sounds of rivers
or sounds of love blossoming in a field?
when you see the moon
do you say hello?
to the man who is looking back at you?


and your skinny legs fit nicely
in the seat of that swing
but the rain makes you heavy
and your shirt will ruin if you stay too long.

hilltop views.

everyone was smiling
and saying pretty things
like rainbows and water and sunshine
but i spoke of dead trees

i'm sorry
i'm sorry to burden the mood
and your soul

but their smiles didn't break
and they could still sleep
well in there beds tonight
because they didn't comprehend 'deep'

but i still got out my map
from my two-sizes-too-big back pack
and looked for the way out

i climbed a hill
where i could see everything
i could see the church, and the lovers, and the people
but they couldn't see me

and i realized the truth
that it's all the same
but i got cold and looked to the sky
and couldn't recall my name

i ran down the hill as fast as i could
i couldn't stand the feeling of being isolate
so alone, so still
so inadequate

at the edge of the town
they locked the gates
i yelled 'please, please let me in'
my voice shook and my heart sank

but the houses stayed dark
and the steeple stayed white
the people stayed blank
what was happening tonight?

the gate stayed shut
and i looked to the hill
this is what you did to me
this is what happens for feeling real

the day i almost told you but couldn't.

i couldn't contain my tears
but you didn't see them
because of the smoke that filled the car
and my cries were drowned out by
the hearbeat of the bass
but as i drove away
i almost turned to you to say
i love you, love me one day.

louis doesn't matter anymore
he is long gone,
looking under rocks and climbing fences
searching for new glimpses
of the sun.

so
if you worry
about this or that
or him or her
don't.
if you hurry,
you will save me.

stardust to remember you by

yesterday i wrapped a blanket around me
because i was trying to freeze time
because i didn't want to lose you
and didn't want to lose everything.
i saw the future, and it held awkward lunches
with conversations of the past
and nothing else.
in my blanket
i cried
i did not want to lose you
but i knew there was nothing i could do.
