1.
It's hard but I'm trying my best I will do all I can Digging my nails into my shins I'm so sick of my bullshit Given a life to live too anxious to enjoy it "Now its wings have become so frayed and worn it can no longer fly... and the old honeybees are often carried a quarter mile away from the hive and left to die (Root, 1947)" Now they're torn Only bleeding scabs
2.
You'll never stop painting faces in misted glass I'll trace the place where your hands were And that'll be our sky's smile Wallflowers bloom, then die soon after Wilt, wither, rot Ear-piercing laughter You love me not When will I matter I just blather on and on and on (I was wanting more) Somebody make it stop If love could be Steadfast in the face of the passage of time and its corrosion Chemicals in my mind telling me I’m fine Numb my mind, sweet lotus fruit Wallflowers bloom, then die soon after Wilt, wither, rot Ear-piercing laughter You love me not When will I matter I just blather on and on and on (I was wanting more) (Let's be quiet) Somebody make it stop I was lentic wanting more I was wanting more
3.
I want to live my life alone Sheltered in a past back home I lay encumbered by you I lay encumbered by your way I lay encumbered by your way I lay encumbered by your ways
4.
Bee wings in the wind the trees arms bend and touch together How our love will never end, one day at a time We float together and the stars of the meadow twinkling after long nights, rainstorms and thunderclouds They wrap me up in a blanket and love will keep me strong, and Love will keep me safe Granite limbs surround my horizons You shine your light into my feral eyes And I feel a warmth easing my tension Reversing my burning blights My souls wanders without a home I’m sick of the low drone of tin can telephone lines I just want to know you’re not alone I just hope we meet in time Somebody make it stop
5.
I'm finding life neat with you, and Every night I'm away from you I've wanted out for all my life I was wanting more I always try to notice color in everything But my memories are all in black & white I’ll try my best to not let the beauty of this past year Desaturate by tonight I will ration it
6.
When I go to bed Do you dream the thoughts in my head? Cause it comes back, all at once, Like a flood Tossing and turning, it's no good I'm learning to yearn Took me some years but I think that it's time I moved on Hope you're well They look so happy. Maybe they're salmon- sam- mol- soulmates. *sigh*
