I had never heard the skies argue this loud
Never seen rain in such hurry to escape the clouds
Imagine the brightest lightening you can see
And that’s how I knew you were thinking about me
I know you feel it
My absence, a hole in your spirit
You are never here when the moment calls
Just me, my thoughts, and four walls
I can never see it, when you say you love me
Still, existence doesn’t depend upon visibility
But you can’t love me if you don’t have the ability
The end has had so many ellipses
And your eyes resemble when the moon eclipses
All you have to do is say yes or no
But you say yes then no
The moment is just the sun behind a cloud now
A moonless sky with no stars shooting by
Tell me what’s easiest to find in the dark
The hope and I are lost in your heart
If only I can find way to your mind
Then maybe you’ll miss, one thought at a time
But it’s hard to look up when its raining from the sky
I spend days and nights by the door now, you know
Hoping you don’t try to leave
But I think we flew out the window
I remember you said I was the one of your dreams
Now I’m hoping you sleep forever
But you’re tossing and turning
And my knees are weak as ever
It’s a nightmare now, look at the monster we’re turning
The sky used to be our mistletoe
But now a minute has passed and it feels like a long time ago
I only opened up because I thought you’d be my shield
Still here I sit vulnerable because you want to up and leave
What could be more important than me needing to breathe
Truth is I wouldn’t give you up for me
Truth is I give you up, I give up me
…and this is incomplete..
I wonder if we were just the happenings of a moment
Where the stars were aligned and golden
Shooting across the skies
A wish became true when I met your eyes
Maybe the melodies of an angel were swimming through the air simultaneously
And Cupid was gliding by and his idle hands acted instantaneously
Perhaps our thoughts just momentarily intersected
Perhaps our heart just momentarily interconnected
Then a decision was made under a woven swindle
When your skin was warm and inviting like the flame of a candle
I’ll never leave you
A heart for a heart is a promise
It wouldn’t fit in the sky, how much I love you
I love you like hate doesn’t exist
I pray time don’t prove me foolish
Not even when the moon is bluish
If I could help that you fell in love with me
Then I’d help that you fail in love with me
Screaming from the top of your heart, but I can’t hear your love
A trembling fist and waterfall eyes,
I can’t fear your love
But I can’t deny the way I feel near your love
I can’t deny that I want to care your love
But never should I have to share your love
That is a commandment
You said love me, but you never knew what the command meant
Now it’s red roses, purple lips, and a casket here my love
They come with a smile
Open arms with shoulders that look ready to carry
But their fingers are like those of Uncle Sam
They seep through the smallest of cracks like sharp cold air on the warmest of nights
They’ll sing you bitter songs with a sweet tongue
They are Greeks bearing gifts
They’ll save stones until your house is glass
See, things and times change easily like three to four
That’s how you wake up and they not love you anymore
But a part of sailing seas is sleeping in the sand
And whether right or wrong, there is only one way to know if you’re wrong
You say you love me, and I ask you if you’re drunk
The top of the hill is merely the bottom of a mountain now
How grey now, is that eastern sky we are reared against
Right above a grass once green, we kneel wounded and unfaithful
No truth, no right. No ability to even stand for one’s self
The deepest of darkness-es couldn’t bring forth light
All roads are now unpaved, all direction lost
Where is the courage once fought with?
Where is the strength once used to carry my brother, carry my sister?
How does one go from warrior to paint on a wall?
When from thee we’ve gone away
May we strive for thee each day
As we sail life’s rugged sea
O Howard, we’ll sing of thee
