(2014)
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
