Are you somewhere out there
Too, gazing at the moon
Isn’t it something when its
Light speaks to you
Sometimes I hear
The words you can’t say
It tells me there’s something
That Keeps you away
Yet keeps me
Lingering in your mind
The world changes around us
But we just linger
Through wars and seasons we run
But we still linger
It’s so tempting to climb that fence
To see if you’d finally relent
But there’s a solace despite that wall
Cause we still linger
Are you somewhere out there
Still, running up that hill
Don’t you ever tire of
Holding back the way you feel
So much in your way
And nothing to bind us
Only the wonder we’ve put behind us
Why do we linger
The world changes around us
But we just linger
Through wars and seasons we run
But we still linger
It’s so tempting to climb that fence
To see if you’d finally relent
But there’s a solace despite that wall
Cause we still linger
Somewhere out there you are still
Running up that hill
We never got off the ground
But still, we were something real
You prefer to keep your distance
As I linger in your mind
I pretend I don’t feel a thing
As you linger in my mind

I reached out
to see how you’ve been
After such a long time missing,
after disappearing
You stammered your way through your politeness
but found your words and filled me in like this,
“Like, yeah life’s been great, yeah, pretty good, but, don’t wanna say this but I think I should…”
You went on
To tell me you have somebody
I’m gasping for air, my insides dividing
I murmured, “OK,” to everything
All awhile our memories
And every word you said
Washed away my sense of closure,
Tore right through the threads
I’m still fragile
I’m still fragile
And that’s okay, tomorrow’s another day
So how do you prevail when the one
Who has your heart just wants a little fun
How does one find meaning in the lesson
How does one recover from rejection
Do you pray, or beg them to stay
Yell at them, “Fuck you for leaving this way!”
Burn all our bridges and live in that strife
Silently as you live your life
There are moments when the hurt
Awakens to haunt me again
And I know it’s all part of growth
I will stumble at times cause
I’m still fragile
I’m still fragile
And that’s okay, tomorrow’s another day
A heart that still hurts
Is a heart that feels
The heart that feels
Is a heart that’s still alive
Most days I’m fine
Leaving it all behind
But sometimes old feelings
Remind me that
I’m still fragile
I’m still fragile
And that’s okay, tomorrow’s another day
I have days when I’m not so strong
When I’m thrown right back to the start
But nothing can ravage this spirit of mine
I’ll be solid somewhere down the line
And that’s okay, tomorrow’s another day

Spring is back, brighter days
A new beginning lurks
Yet something stirs, bittersweet
Reminders of where we were
On this very day a year ago
When we met and spent 7 hours alone
You were so intrigued, couldn’t look away
It all seemed hazy through the winter days but now
Here comes May
Didn’t know you for long
but damn you were wrong
To fall away
You had your reasons
so I let you fade away
Now I’m nostalgic in May
In May
I walk past the pizza shop
Where I first saw you and time stopped
Anticipation rattled our nerves
Intensely attracted, it felt like a curse
I go on my run through the park
The sweet summer breeze just suddenly sparks
The memory of our drive upstate
The road seemed symbolic of the start of something great but
Here comes May
Didn’t know you for long
but damn you were wrong
To fall away
You had your reasons
so I let you fade away
Now I’m nostalgic in May
In May
The way the sun is setting ahead
Takes me back to last year when
It was August, something changed
I gave up and the fall came

Great Deep

I can feel you miles away
drowning in your pond
Of insecurity and rain
Cause its been so long
Since you’ve looked into the eyes
Of someone who needs you
Breathes deep your every word
And utterly completes you
I light a candle for you
And pray for your return
Ask God to lead you back
Cause I can’t find the words
To break through your palace wall
And make you clearly see
It’s safe to take my hand and fall
With me in that great deep
Let me taste your bitter sadness
I’ll Make it my very own
Let me hold your fearful heart
And give you mine of gold
I see something on the horizon
Like I’ve never known
We were destined to find each other
And make a world of our own
I light a candle for you
And pray for your return
Ask God to lead you back
Cause I can’t find the words
To break through your palace wall
And make you clearly see
It’s safe to take my hand and fall
With me in that great deep
