thanks for the memories.
writing stories about paper-thin promises
song of the trees...cigarette smoke and green tea kitkats
an enchanting love song to change my eyes (and your mind)
callused fingers and the pretty little lies in your eyes
our honeyed love is washing out the blues
enflamed memories, scratched records
a starlit world away from earth with you
small talk under the twilight lovers' moon
dreams of wine-stained lips and naked hips
pages torn out of novels i never read
first chance summer and your name in constellations
i'm bleeding tears and lies you stole
kiss my smile and hold the gun
forever is us, or is it a write-off?
time and trust reflected in diamond lies
riptides in the ballroom of your memory
colors of your stinging kiss
a guiding star smile in the deep summer
dancing to the rhythm of misery
your lips hold her kiss, but my name
trying and dying in fading dreams
souls on the moon, hearts on our sleeves
we're choking on the perfect strangers we're becoming

i fought the law but failed to lose the memories

this sensation...it's like the feelings i can never describe. like the songs you recognize from the very first chord because a part of it is ingrained in your mind and body and soul. the names that bring tears to your eyes long after the fever dream has died. we faded into stars on a warm summer eve, one that i would have lived in forever had i known it would be our last. the memories that are too strong to fight. you are a memory that is too strong to fight; you and i are smoke and ash. the fire was a mirage. right person wrong time or maybe we wouldn't have a happily ever after no matter how hard i tried to fit us together. puzzle pieces that do(n't) belong together even when nothing else works. destined to be alone, a splinter of a memory in someone else's mind. the past is in the past but so am i. living in a world of years gone by. but i can't breathe you back to life and you're not here anymore. you disappeared. maybe i just blinked and you were gone. or did i mess things up? i always say the wrong thing. maybe it's better if i say nothing at all.
