coral and purple scarf
bracelets of yellow and blue
wearing the memories of a good thing
but i slip through slim fingers
with nothing left to hold
and just a picture in my mind
this time

set fire
go 90 in a 65 zone
red taillights against a black sky
guitar solos and a steady beat
matching a pulse
not much heart left in me tonight
carved it out
set it on fire
and watched it burn
like a bad John Mayer song
living lies in a burning room
keep the good
and throw the rest
book-tax temporary differences
and everything meaningful in life
all just a matter of one thing
timing

anything
"anything other than yes is no
anything other than stay is go
anything other than i love you is lying"*
but life is cruel
never black and white
middle grounds torn apart
a cold wind and dry eyes
and it's
everything i never wanted
*john mayer

mirrors
easy to throw a mirror to the ground
harder to pick up the shattered pieces
easy to write love letters
harder to tear them apart
remembering a taste, a touch
halo effect of everything that had been
close my windows to the world
and let the rain wash me away
remembering a look, those eyes
but never stopped gazing over the gate
carve out a hole, fill it with those pieces
jump into the deep blue but i don't swim
remembering all the endings
and missing the way they did
the further the road traveled
the more in the rearview to miss
harder to pick up the shattered pieces
easy to write love letters
harder to tear them apart
remembering a taste, a touch
halo effect of everything that had been
close my windows to the world
and let the rain wash me away
remembering a look, those eyes
but never stopped gazing over the gate
carve out a hole, fill it with those pieces
jump into the deep blue but i don't swim
remembering all the endings
and missing the way they did
the further the road traveled
the more in the rearview to miss

fire
a ring of fire enveloped me today
blood bubbled within
rising and rising until
bubbled over and out
drops that rolled down the hill
burning cold on my skin
born to play with fire
but it ends up the same
something, someone ends up in flames
blood bubbled within
rising and rising until
bubbled over and out
drops that rolled down the hill
burning cold on my skin
born to play with fire
but it ends up the same
something, someone ends up in flames
sails
water rushes past metal sheets
stare out to the horizon line
past the trees and the mountains
looking up to the sky of white on blue
listened to songs I once loved for the voices
but today I felt the words
with a boat to sail away on
and a plane to fly away on
distance to travel unknown
patience for peace ever elusive
if had jumped overboard into the deep blue
no one would have blinked
until too late
