Kitchen Shears.

I find myself falling down.
my hopes and dreams
pegs
Holding me. Straight.
Her voice strong and melodic,
A jewel in the window's sun.

Confidence is written in the clouds...the clouds are closer to you.
Earth is where the heart is,
But heaven holds the soul.
I want you like a heart break.
but I still want you.
but you only need me.

Shallow and cold.
Time is a mountain.

Im waiting.
Im searching.
but I'm standing in the same place.

we're all okay.
it
will
all
BE.

okay

I'm living on my knees in the shadow of your life.
"Fear nothing" she says.
"Understand me!" he gasps back at her with every fiber he has left .
They came home to find a smeared heart, red paint
across their living room wall.

While nothing was said, everything was heard.
They fell into each other.
Passion overtakes them. Walls fall down.

The next morning he turns to find a note. He clenches his fists, but as angry as he is tears form in his eyes.
"Fear nothing" he says.

The next time she sees him it is much less than a love story.
She identified him in her black dress, oddly appropriate for the occasion.

I'm sorry.
More sorry than you'll ever know.

Answers for hatred.
Try to find them...

Innocent child of tomorrow.
Don't grow up.
Don't ever change.

You're all that I've got.
I'm standing with my arms wide open,
But where are you?
The ocean, shes calling.
The waves lure me in.
The gulls show me the way.

I need you, but you only want me.

The gray dawn is proving her point.
And this time I'm going to let myself sink.

I'm sorry.
More sorry than you'll ever know.

She fell down the porch stairs
and just watched the clouds go by.

The incessant buzz of freedom lingers in the air.

Melt me like ice
with your cigarette butt.

Wrestle with the piano keys,
but thats no way to make music.
So let the ink drop down
and swallow you whole.
One thing for sure...

You'll never be the same.
