Indeed, By The Sink

I dreamed about you last night
You were as fragile as a butterfly
And it was like in real life
I just had to watch you die
And yet you do not leave me here
You kiss me like you always did, dear
On my forehead or on my cheek
And when I used to feel weak
I would run to your side
I would hide
And then let you find me
And you didn’t mind me
Being a little bit strange
And all the peace rearrange
To atoms that say that you are gone
But your song
Will have life as long as I am breathing
You were always something I was needing
As I would lie into you
And at fifteen I watched you
Washing the dishes at the sink
And all I could do was think
Of what would happen the day you died
If I would break like waves of tears I cried
And I insulated myself
Under the veil of mental health
Because I can’t shatter again
And there are legions of men
Who would take my hand
And make me “understand”
What true love means
But it’s insubstantial as the stuff of dreams
And you are wholly really
And even though you’ve left I still feel
You in my veins and blood
Like when I was lying in the wood
And I felt the soul of the trees
Kiss me when I’m on my knees
And I know that your prayers save me
Even when I cave, we
Will always be a two by two
And it’s not up to someone forgetting you
It’s something that you always are
You are not on some far distant star
You are in my heart
And in this instant we are not apart

Stuff I Say To You

Stuff I say to you
I was watching the bird and it flew
Out the window from inside
And this landscape can’t hide
The shape of you from me
I loved you so I set you free
But you come back to be
As constant as a northern sea
In the winter of ill repute
And you’re more devastating
Than you are cute
But I like my men like thunderclouds
The rolling sound just makes me proud
To be standing under a western sky
And I have no fear over what will die
Coz something’s not passing
Constant true
As I revealed myself to you
In a winter past, long ago
But it’s just the start
Of the story, you know
On this journey to forever
The path winds but this endeavor
Keeps sailing through the storm
I would like to keep you warm

You Wanna Dance With Me?

All my family agree that you’re bad news
And have me paired up with a different pair of shoes
That never seem to walk the line surmised
Or pass the test when he’s been breathalysed
But he’s better and healthier from the outside
And all they want is a decent compromise
That’s so tempting just to fulfil
Even if it is against my will
Because your cocaine blues somehow conspire
To set my traitor’s heart afire
Send my pulse hammering in my veins
As I spit into your face and you leave tear stains
So wrong, so inconceivably wrong
That you make me feel as though I belong
With your violent aggression cloaked so shy
Into a look that only I can spy
And smile at because I know it means
That I’m the only one to burst your seams
And send you reeling universal
Into a cosmic hole of dispersal
As the midnight claims both our souls
I’d rather die by the number your dice rolls
Than live with the certainty that exists
When I survive on what my love resists
A truth and unfailingness to see
That though I hate it, you’re it for me.

Everlasting

The night comes falling in around me
And I just feel like I am free
As the stars shine bright cascadingly
I wonder who it is I’ll be

For the design is perfect pure
It’s the one thing that I know for sure
And in all of what will endure
You are the perfect ailment cure

Cause loving you is just release
You are the wrinkle that I crease
You’re the one thing that does not cease
In all of what will just decease
