words cutting deeper than a blue horizon malady
rip off the band aid of love, eleven dollars spent on cigarettes
when I was just a boy I seen the world disappear
through love and romance and dreams and death
I\'ve sacrificed myself too many times
fucked up love too many times, but I see you in me
loving you, loving me, I see you in me, endlessly falling
falling through clouds, through rose water, I spill
onto sheets of green leaves, will never appease these hills
of foreboding buildings, so tight they bruise, so tight I can\'t breathe
spent aeons trying to love you, I fall through answers
puddles of rose water and bones trying to sew the papers together
hold on to me and let\'s spin through the truth, months of
wondering whether our souls will be enough for these poems
as we wash away sunlight flickers through our hands
open to rain storms and breathless nights, we dance in candle light
in movie screens, in violet daydreams, the smell of you leaves me like a ghost
in trenches, in a garden of thorns, pulled from both ends
I\'ve never met a man so shy and benign with so many secrets
setting fire to water, a dilapidated empire
I think of you and smile, and I think love is an island in me
love is a blue sky maze in me, stoic on the beaten path
thank you, for all the selfless things you do
vines growing through me, fingers running through
words cutting deeper than a blue horizon malady.
