Asleep

I awoke in the dark
next to you and
more alone than ever
I was amazed to hear

For years I had hoped
that you might wake up
But you were always asleep
to me

(2014)

 to tear
 I only hope that

One Way

The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight

Drown

I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
Underwater

Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could

Good/Bad Days

I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
