(2013)
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
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
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
