Six feet deep

We said everything was perfect
Until your body, pressed on mine
Turned into cold, hard marble
Which buried me inside.

Rolling over, six feet deep,
The thick, dry dirt is comforting
It muffles the sound of my cries
So no one can hear me scream

The flowers growth right through me
In my everlasting sleep
Can't you see the beauty
That lies rotting in this heap?

The angry river washed over me
Drowning all my youth
An oblivious plunge into a watery grave
Cleansing me of hope
With the harshest waves of truth

And the wings that should have lifted
Are now burning up beside me
Fickle ashes falling down
Drifting aimlessly.

And I kiss the earth surrounding
Filling my mouth and suffocating
I breathe it in, and it sucks the life out of me
This sickening hunger, never abating

Pull that trigger now
Watch the flood of red petals
Deliver me from this powerlessness
Made by those words
That shot out like metals.

And those false, loving hands
Wound tightly around me
Strangling my dreamland
But oh, ever so gently.

Here, sweet, harrowing death
Come closer, beside me
Save me from this place
But do not soil your hands
Please, won't you allow me

Those sharp bitter tongues
Slice right through
No screaming now
Listen please, they're here to help you

If there is no more
Play the funeral procession
I just need some peace
Or divine intervention.

Look into my eyes and smile Follow me with your gaze Come and stand beside me Drink in my scent Graze my arm with yours And let yourself breathe out You're safe here by my side Talk with me about everything And nothing at all Laugh, and cry with me Share a meal with me Hold me close and cherish me. Touch my hand as we walk together Write me words of love Lose yourself in my embrace And find out what I'm worth Kiss like it's the first time, the last time and the best Take me away with you And show me all the rest.

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.
