I hate the way you love me
And the way you want my love
I hate that you need to know
That I'm never quite enough
...
Latent clocks forge their fraudulent time
But still their rigid works spin
...
A stage, dear stage
how I emphasise you on diminutive plinths and icy depths
The halo of crisp golden tongue
Rotated too much for matters gone wrong
...
I wish I could fly
Watching the wind evolve whirls of dust into
Dunes of fine ash yielded from the earth
We play with their tropic grains
...
There's beads in your eyes.
So silent as they form,
So quiet when they rise
Into the volume pool.
...
My eyes pursue the obscure footprint of the sun
'What is it running from? '
My question intercepts
The looming gloom of it's tangled cocoon
...
Sometimes I catch myself wondering
The plots and twists of day
The murmuring of butterflies
And of them needless to say
...
I see the streets they're feeble
Circulating fright
Like a helicoidal river
Disposing empty lives
...
When horror arises
Fret churns to frame
An ambiguity of wonder
That's not the same
...
Running wild with the sound of you
Is a pleasure for a while
Its a fine slow tune
...
Sometimes I wonder about the silence of sound
The loud ringing bells in your head, unseen by a crowd
The slow evasive manner insight arrests
To stop your mind wondering to place of unrest
...
What if we just keep running? Running away from here
The pain creeps over reflective lakes, like the scum on milk
Concealing a lake left clear
Sometimes the chiming is so strong it desolates reality
...
A friend of function
To stop the fall
Is a friend indeed
Until not at all
...
Nobody can see
The ghosts left behind
Raw red knuckles
And dark whisky lines
...
I found the pieces of the past
In old cassettes and photographs
Somehow it feels unconvincing
...
How will I know? Will I see you again?
These questions keep me up at night Cause I don't know the answer.
I'm tired of being happy, I'm exhausted trying to cope.
I want to sleep forever, and dream of some small hope.
...
Lay me down, let me sleep.
Reunite where life began.
The wind will echo memories,
Weave my soul through the land.
...
I know that I love you
In life and after death
Makes it easier too,
The epitome of loneliness.
...
I Don't Love You
I hate the way you love me
And the way you want my love
I hate that you need to know
That I'm never quite enough
I hate the way you make me hide
And change my face to help you lie
I hate the way you drag me down
And crush my joy into frowns
I hate that you cage me
And throw away the key
I don't need protection
I just want to be free
When I'm genuinely happy
I despise the look you give
You say you're not death,
But you won't let me live
I hate the way you commentate
On problems that aren't there
And force me to compensate
For the war you declare
I hate the way you make me hurt
Kill my morals, steal my sleep
But what I feel is even worse
Is that you comfort when I weep
I hate the way you love me
And the way you want my love
So stay away, and let me be
The person I am dreaming of
