All On Black

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

I put it all on black, no color you’re all dressed in
And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor
And I’m mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you

I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you
I’m just trying to keep track how far back...

Cringe

Friday, August 5th, 2011

Wide eyed.
Knee deep in surprise.
Just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees.
Your stand-by flight has just arrived.
Tongue-tied bleeding from your eyes.
even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars
While you’re counting sheep,
I’ll count my lucky stars.
You were the last good thing...

Mr. Chainsaw

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

When was it that you lost your youth or traded
It for something more for them to use so jaded
Why is it that you never said
I love you more than just a friend
I pray this gridlock never ends
And when we get there just depends
I found out recently that you are leaving
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
It’s better...

Sun Dials

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

You were like a toilet bowl at the end of the rainbow
Something like a pot of gold stuck under my pillow
Keeping me up at night you kept my head splitting
And wishing there were windows to throw you from
Throw you from
Day or night
Fuck if I know
Hard to tell with no fucking window
And sundials
What good are sundials...

She Took Him To The Lake

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Do you remember the story of the boy and his first date?
She took him to the lake and he fell in love.
She spent one summer waking up between his arms.
She told him how good that felt, told him he was the one.

And then she went away, his calls were not returned.
He went to see her but her eyes were burning a different stare.
The...

You’ve Got So Far To Go

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Soon ends our stay here and it’s been fun.
So tonight I’ll raise my glass to us
’cause we’ve talked so much I think we filled this ashtray twice,
and I’m pretty sure we emptied every bottle in the place, so
Let’s walk home, let’s be afraid.
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard.
