You Made Me Happy

Four words
My life would be complete to hear
As I once was
Because of The Other
Lost by his same hand
If I could give that to you
I most assuredly would
Given up is this dream
So I whisper to The Aether
Those words I held dear
You made me happy

The first night after we found out
We were dead to each other and the world went on
I found that the bed was so big
It could swallow me into my sadness
Wherever you are and whoever you’re with
I hope you know that I’m sorry for all the grief that I caused
I gave you all that I had left
And now I’m learning to live without blood flow

Bad Habits

Your name is a habit I can’t seem to break
In loneliness, your ghost is my only companion
Of all the faces that I should have forgotten
Yours is one I can’t seem to shake
I’m sorry for the grief I caused
I wish I could have told you how I truly felt
Forgive me, because I can’t forgive you
Forget me, because I can’t forget you

This is where I’ll stand until you tell me to move
Your face is braille and I can’t read you
Please tell me what I need to know
I need something concrete to break my fall
Shatter me into a million pieces
I’ll try to put my broken body back together
Break me
|

The year ended as it began
With wet eyes under the weight of inadequacy
I know that it’s all my fault
Any happiness I built up for you
I ultimately destroyed with no hopes to be rebuilt
I followed my heart off a cliff
and pulled the ghost of love with me
What a revelation for New Years Eve
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
The disappointment is written across your face
i had the potential to be worth the effort
but it should be no surprise that I let you down
Nothing ever changes
Good for nothing
Waste of air
Incompetent and unable to fix myself
Maybe I can make my existence worthwhile someday
But how long will I make you wait?
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
I’m so used to being pushed away
I’ve come to crave the human contact
Sinking is a dead bird’s game
And I am the king of fallen sparrows
When the words fall silent
I’ll cut you out to make a new hole
Somewhere something new can grow
My hopes lie somewhere in fantasy
My fears, I can touch and taste
At least the pain is something real
|
||||
8. |

|
It’s obvious that I’m the one to blame
How can I love another when I’m in bed with my self
You are perfect and I am broken and wretched
I let you fall away
How could I love again?
The sun is setting on us
All dreams must find their end

Houses In the Clouds

To be sure
I shouldn’t even give these thoughts a second chance
much less breathe life into their pathological absurdity
emotionally stuck in the years I should have long left behind
A bit of perspective shows how awfully far I have to go
And how little I’ve grown
I won’t ever be
Anything more
Than a starry eyed boy
Idealistic and tuned out
to the reality of it all
|
||||
10. |

|
My thoughts still turn to you
Every once in awhile
I hope this finds you well
Let’s never speak again
But I want you to know
You taught me happiness
and I will not forget
I hope you find happiness in this life
Goodbye
