(2015)
I broke something beautiful I had prior commitments I was not free to live out that fantasy
You made me young Took away all my excuses You brought me to life Demolished ever inhibition You taught me to love
In the street. Pensive glares pregnant with meaning. Imagined Memories. Greetings between Former lovers wrenched
One year ago We were nearly lovers One year ago The closest of friends One year ago
I love your grace Always seeing beyond The ruins left In the wake of sin I love your strength
Whether moth to flame Or drawn in like fly to shit You captivate me
What are you selling Everybody is That thing that you have That’s icing and fizz Every encounter
once you loved me i know this is true its veracity is beyond a doubt once your face lit up when I entered your vision
Driven too long with out coolant With out lubricant, my wife Blew the head gasket on the old Buick century. Now lifeless on the flatbed. Wait…
She was never mine I was never her’s Neither loved as a possession Both possessed By the love we shared
Little I can do Now that I have injured you I must disgust you
There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation
Too long trapped Hopeless and caged Owned and enraged I saw a way out Extinguished my apathy
Who am I now? I’m not the man I was before You’ve changed something Done something big You’ve opened up a door
You were more Than yourself For me You were A reason
