Missed Connections

cut the ties around my wrists
that hold me in this darkness
the shadows moving on the walls
don't match our movement
a room for 2 feels so small
to hold all these big dreams
please take up all the space you need
and fill my memories
missed connection every time
there's no room left in my mind
for you, i'll try to move in harmony
but i'm stuck inside, i'll tell you honestly
this time
make an honest impression
on the ones who matter most
or they'll continue living
and you're nothing but a ghost
the truth is hard to swallow
my stomach is a pit
i've been telling lies and
i'm starting to feel sick
mixed feelings from the start
there's no room left in my heart
for you, i'll try to do my very best
but there's nothing left
you feel so far away from me,
lying by my side
every word i want to speak,
won't come out right

i once knew the road to take
to get you safely home
now i don't know which way
would lead us to the coywolves
but i've never had a good sense of direction
i lost my place in my home,
in my space
now i'm a stranger to you
i cried on the shoulder of the road
i know your heart
it's so much stronger than mine
but i still tore it apart
i'll get you out of my head, somehow
find a way to move on
i find i fantasize instead of facing the facts
the two of us, strangers on the avenue
grew apart living intertwined
the moon shines bright and lights up the road
but you don't need me to walk you home
i once knew the road to take
to get you safely home
safe into your dreams
now i show up in memories

Body Heat

i wish mornings could last a little longer
for the minutes spent with you are worth more than any dollar
i'm caught between a dream and my lover
always go to bed with cold feet, you warm me up instantly
i feel so old in these young bones
i've felt them break & mend & grow
this skeleton that holds me up
& a mind that weighs me down
in a constant state of caution, i
keep myself locked up inside
can't let this body out the door,
can't put up a fight to save my life
i wish mornings could last a little longer
get up to start the countdown from 9am- 5
cause every day i work is just
the worst day of my life
every night I look for peace of mind
i want to will my feet to walk around on this earth to stand my ground
but the reality that haunts me is i work just to survive
and then when the day is done, the commute home could end my life
i'm in this for more than just the body heat
i need more than just someone to protect me
i'm not in this for the money, I'm not just here for the ride
i just want to have you by my side
i wish the nights could last a little longer
i don't have a dream job anymore
don't want to walk out the door
just wanna stay home with you for a while

take a breath in
this might hurt for a little while
it might bleed for a minute
on top of my skin
blood seeping through a bandage
but it all runs deeper than this
it all runs deeper than this
keeping my distance for all these years
suddenly it's creeping up on me
it's all coming down to calling you out for this
and i'm calling home
clouds closing in
the family tree blows in the yard
the leaves fall around me
the drops on my skin
roots underground drink it in
but it all runs deeper than you
it all runs deeper than you
never thought i'd see you as a victim
i had to forget my pain
you had to obliterate yours
and now i'm left feeling everything
at least you're still breathing
keeping my distance for all these years
suddenly it's creeping up on me
it's all coming down to calling you out for this
and i'm calling home

saltwater in my blood
i'm cold like the ocean
found poetry in the water
from wishin' and hopin'
we spoke each 9th of february
& some days in between
i sat by and watched and watched the phone
the day i turned 19
took it second-handed
& understood why
was there much more to say,
than happy birthday and goodbye?
two days later I'm flying East,
bought my first bottle of wine
i walked the icy streets,
tears frozen on my cheeks
a caw from up above,
i looked up to the sky
i watched as the crows flew
all the way to Goodyear Avenue
i spoke at the funeral
i read an ancient poem
about fishermen & birds & bread
life out on the ocean
how i wish you could see me now,
the garden i have learned to sow
but i think of you every time i see
crows flying over me

Memory Box

After you're gone, I'll take out that little box
Looking for some comfort in this night
Everything inside fits exactly how I left it last time
Dust has settled on the pages, the lines you wrote to me
I'll sit tight
I won't think
About the words that made my heart sink
I'll think of you
Tonight
Staring out at the lights
Photo prints on glossy paper, show two smiling faces
Staring up at me from the depths of memory
Stones from an Eastern beach, your favourite book of poetry
I hold them in my hands and know I'll end up by your side
I'll keep them safe
For you
Whatever I do
I'll keep them safe for you

it's all coming up over my head
starting all over again
blurring out my vision
it's hard to catch a breath
now i've been trying not to speak
without the words in front of me
drifting in & out
don't wanna make a sound
i know it's not good for me
i'll overcome this apathy
try to understand
the things i can't explain
i'm losing sensibility
something's coming over me
a fog that i can't see through
but i can feel you
i'll take it every night
i won't put up a fight
i've got so much weight to carry
feed me the poison berry
