thanks for the memories.
i fought the law but failed to lose 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
souls on the moon, hearts on our sleeves
we're choking on the perfect strangers we're becoming

trying and dying in fading dreams

i could have learned a million pretty things to say to you. but i never knew the words that would make your heart whole again. my heart is in my hands; my heart is in your hands. you are the dream, my only dream. and when trying and dying mean the same thing, what then?

and then the tears spill out of my eyes, and i convince myself it's not you who left me this way. that it's just the dust in my eye, that this emptiness is only temporary. i'd rather exist in a dream where we belong to each other. because truly, when they ask me who i love, you're the only one i think of.

and still i say no one

because i know

you only hate people when you still love them
