nightmare

Exhalation

Inhalation

If only you’ve seen

what I’ve seen

when i close

my eyes

the swipes of nightmares

of red streaks soaking

down the wall

and seeping

into the mirror

that i stand before

i look across the dark slate

and see my reflection

staring back

with a bruised soul

and realize

the potential

to fail

and feel the pain

and welcome the pain

hi, again:)

i know you’re reading this/ because you told me so/ i hope you get my letter soon/ and things will not be so cold

i like sitting in your car/ even though it can be hard/ i like sitting next to you/ even when our relationship is in shards

you make me happy/ and i know we aren’t holding hands/ but i like that too/ though you may not understand

Good morning, good morning/ my light and sunshine/ good morning, good morning/ my love and cloud nine

I drink my coffee/ and laugh at your message/ i sit here and read/ and think of all the possible wreckage

but who cares about them/ at least that’s what we say/ hit the gas and run/ and away we chase the day
