Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

You write me Like lyrics to a song My head spins round My heart feels numb With my finger on repeat

Running into the eye of a storm Breaking promises that I’ve sworn Wearing a lightening cloak Picking up psyches that I’ve brok… Grey skies

Twirling in a dizzying array of wo… Held captive to the orchestra of t… When the icy breath of winter appr… My dismay is irreproachable Sleeping in the arms of slumber

Feel the need to dance away Feel the need to sail away Flying over tree tops My mind all in knots Feel the urgency to runaway

Yelling for no reason Overreacting because I love you Accusing me of treason I can’t stand you Ignoring me

Something’s changed, like I knew it would. The feeling’s subsided, like a piece of drift wood. Chasing after shadows in the dark. Calling out your name in the stillness of the night. Yo...

You gave me a promise I relied everything on you In time you let me down You distort my love for you Into a ravenous wolf, a clown

Stargazing from within Acknowledging the end I gave myself away To allow what may Standing in my way

Dying a little bit each day I’m a… Yearning for your touch Like the desert yearns for rain Trying to pretend I don’t need yo… That I don’t miss you

You make me crazy Every moment drenched in gold You take hold of me Like a love story once told Swinging in the park

Grasping at pipe dreams Something good Is never what it seems Riding a wave of discontent The sting of doubt unrelenting

Dreaming in black & white Bracing for a fight Chasing shadows through the night Trying to avoid all light For fear of being hated

Prolonging the inevitable Wanting this feeling to linger Succumbing to the infallible Feeling like we’re strangers Staring at me w/a dormant gaze

Creating something Out of nothing Piecing together a tapestry Hoping others see its artistry Lingering by the wayside
