    dreaming when i’m leaving

    dreamed of you
    lied on top of you
    made a joke
    you said something about leaving
    and i said just like the last time
    it was sad
    i wasn’t even mad
    i just wondered if you felt bad
    or if you felt glad and free
    like this is the way it was supposed to be
    but even after it all, even in my dreams
    i told you that you were perfect
    and i reflect like you’re this object
    that i can’t seem to get over, to accept
    we just speak in different dialects
    i was really direct, wanting intellect
    didn’t really know what to expect
    ‘cause it was all new
    just out of the blue and so unusual
    my mood, my moon
    you were so cute
    i had so much room
    remember when i said send me a picture
    you in your new suit
    how you just ignored and played it cool
    why couldn’t you speak the truth
    why were you so rude
    why did you come and leave so soon
    why did you pursue
    if you knew?

    no fake smiles in our dreams

    smile so beautiful
    you make it so fake
    it’s something everyone can take
    no rhyme, no reason
    live in treason of your own
    we live in seasons
    know no freedom
    sit in prison of evil
    near the horizon of the venetian
    so many secrets
    sometimes love is uneven
    making you sleepless
    giving all and causing weakness
    it’s not easy
    but i know in my dreams
    i’ll be free

    you

    lookin’ for you in all the wrong places
    no location, no vacation
    hiding from the nation
    famous faces aren’t so gracious
    rather be wasted in the station
    going through phases
    feeling so jaded
    ever so tainted
    feeling so faceless
    i’ve already stated
    i’ve already waited
    i’ve dated
    kissed faces
    felt a strong hatred
    stood before greatness
    debated you
    degraded myself for you
    sat in patron because of you
    all i wanted was you
    all i still want is you

    out of my zone

    feeling so alone
    so down to the bone
    everything was blown
    now i just lie prone
    wish i would’ve known
    some can’t grow
    always so far out of zone
    constant thoughts saying don’t
    just a broken tone
    should’ve used the stepping stones
    just gone with the flow
    instead i lost control
    just stuck in this hole
    so far below
    you don’t even know

    blue

    i’ll break you in two
    let me repent from you
    secluded, this is stage two
    needed recluse to hide from abuse
    there’s no excuse
    burns bring blues, flames too
    just a wild goose
    that looked back and said deuce

    resilience

    conservative in the wild
    tainted, listening for a dial
    standing under the moonlight
    side comments, so short and quaint
    stimulating my brain
    no words could explain
    standing in the rain, i liked it this way
    nothing could convey
    always thinking of this place
    this day
    the motion
    your words
    the clothes
    the composure
    the coincidences
    the wild roller coaster
    how my life became colder
    how you threw the cold shoulder
    how you just closed the folder
    but in retrospect, i realize it was smolder
    i assumed intellect came as you grew older
    not everyone’s articulate
    sometimes words are rather difficult
    but the moments stay intimate
    taste of cinnamon
    i’ll always keep the vision
    you and i, standing in the kitchen
    these words i’ve written
    you’re not a villain
    i’ll always think of you for a trillion
    thanks a billion

    your figure

    full cheeks, small ears
    i see those and sudden fears
    years surpass, it lasts
    it’s just a fact
    there’s no way off the raft
    no taking off the mask
    so many drafts
    i really liked your calves
    your hands
    taking off your pants
    it’s all math
    and sometimes you subtract
    i guess this is my path

    i’ll watch over you

    love of my life
    don’t touch my knife
    just lie there in white
    let me write
    all i need is tonight
    there’s no need to fight
    despite our lives
    i’ll always be in sight
    just watch the sunrise
    or look for the moon
    every night
    you can always ask my advice
    i’ve said that twice
    my love has no price
    it’s so percise
    even if i’m no longer alive
    there was no need to watch as i cried
    i’ll be alright
    i’ll see you when you arrive
    just look for the light as the clock strikes twelve past nine
    i’ll look you dead in the eye
    there’ll be no revive
    you won’t survive
    it’ll be fine
    because it was time
    sometimes it’s okay to die

    reality the rat

    once upon a time
    there was a lion and a rat
    the lion trusted the rat
    the rat ate the lion

    dreaming of glasgow

    take your ambien
    free your mind
    tell me all about it
    in your dreams
    we’ll talk
    everything will seem fine
    won’t be on my knees
    screaming will you be mine
    won’t be hiding behind trees
    watching that everything’s fine
    but the irony follows
    i can’t look you up
    as it’ll bring great sorrow
    i’ll stay hidden, my sparrow
    watch from my dreams
    as i can’t seem to leave the shadows
    my tongue will swallow
    no bravado
    i sit and play the piano
    and wait for tomorrow
    i’ll see you in the meadow
    listen for my echo
    i’ll bring the pillows
    slow the tempo
    as we lie and watch the sky
    move from green to red to yellow
    we can even listen to your techno
    just leave the ammo
    the lasso
    and i’ll see you in glasgow
