water snakes and other reptiles

I was pride

and something was worrying me 

you would be the fall

I didn't know how to tell you 

anything at all

If the only way I could inspire you was from a distance
would you still want me near?

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird"

What if I'm not a bird?

"I can hear you sing."

Sweet and Salty

If you are the sea
I shall be a boat
that rides the waves
and braves the storm

If you are the sea
I shall be the sky
that always touches you
always covering you

If you are the sea
I shall be an octopus
that settles in the deep
keenly watching the life within

If you are the sea
I shall be toes
that dance and leap
and test the waters

Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation

I feel like a stranger
in a secret land
a universe created
for love, and my love
alone, he put his heart
into a void
to light my way home

wake up

I would think I was just a part of your dream
but, you were the one who came into mine

Tree branches scrape at my window and I can't help but wonder
If that's how you would come for me, in the night, like an animal
Or if you would use the door and walk in as if you owned the girl

But the days of you coming back for me are gone now
And all I'm left with is the emptiness and the silence in my heart
