Day in I wake up at four in the morning because I love you I drive thirty minutes but its not out of my way We fight Or we sleep until the sun comes up Then its time for me to go I find it difficult to care Half-assed But I call it hard work I still succeed At two o'clock she prompts me to say something stupid She makes me want to break something beautiful I show off then I go see you again You're still asleep but I visit you anyway Then its off to the salt mines Until sun down and then some So I can see you some more So I can worry about working So I can worry about providing for you This wasn't suppose to be how it w

I would walk thousands of miles with you If only you would take me away from here What a perverse dream A fairy tale of poverty A happy ending in Seattle

You left your kiss lingering on my lips Just on more attempt at attainment  One more ghost to haunt me Sitting apprehensive Hidden by tall grass American flag glistening in our eyes Christ placed so close to your heart  Your reason for acceptance  A solitary silhouetted against the street lamp Waiting in an earthen plush For the arrival of that chariot  Scuffed up and clean cut  Perfectly unkempt Cross to you with callused feet Stones and glass barely remain Nothing compared to your touch So raw So callused Even deeper I can’t breath   We’re in this together

Two years Two months Two days ago Two empty shells wondered into the night Together The emptiness melted away Somehow Their hallow shells were brimming This was not suppose to end this way [without end] Together, we were suppose to end at the beginning That night Two years Two months Two days ago Today Towards impending infinity we floated To this day, we are still floating

Amazing how the smallest pains Will make you forget the largest ones This slight sting in my fingertips Can dull the metal hoops in my heart             As I gaze across this plateau                 Felling the even flow                       Remembering the hurt                              Even at three a.m.             That is when you remember me Knowing these words are just stains on paper Somehow helps me forget     How little I really love you     How ordinary life really is               Sometimes when I cry               Loving glances are cast to the effect of the stains it leaves               On my Penny Royal tea

The snow disappeared all at once The grass lay dead and brittle underneath Every so often a cool wind blew To chill me to the bone, to remind me never to forget how cold winter could be Spring and summer     came and went The grass grew green again The air was clean      the breeze was so faint          no one felt it               except me Now the winter has come again Returned to freeze a cold cold heart Twinkling lights lend no aid Besides to remind that my life is made of stars      and every inch between us is a light year Some how      I look forward to frost bite
