The night you left
I took you in, sip after sip,
Built a haunted manor in my heart
to house your spirit crumbs,
And there I lived.
The night you left
I spent in letter-lost daze,
Cogs ethereal turning about,
But no hour was chimed
as to sleep I slipped.
The night you left
a mirror lay on the bed,
but my reflections had ceased,
I suppose you held a key
set beneath your skin.
The night you left
the door beckoned to pull,
Instead I dived, fear ran cold,
Evicted you drifted,
A dream on call.
That night you left
amidst the violenced show,
Infirmed at the first sign of sight,
Blind to the ghosts’ tepid arrival,
And smiling all the whil
This song I'd never known, but heard a thousand times over
through familiar echoes, distant though they were,
A path crossing at such a predictable angle,
A friendly smile over the counter of observable space.
Sensibilities suggest that perhaps, contact sustained,
Things could boil and churn to our liking, and find us alone
in time due, but the waiting is like a wildfire at rest,
Tearing at forests in the satisfaction of dreams.
While all the while the world carries on;
The need for now can ruin the soundest foundations,
Shake morals that perhaps should have never been kept,
After all, who are we, if not our pains save our pleasures?
Scared, the life you led, alone,
Drying tears so long past gone,
For when there was no second chances,
Just vacant songs guarding fears,
Safety in a stray, ghosted thought,
A formal dance with your former heart,
Breaking stride was always yours,
Mine, the love, you never lost,
Here you come, and then you go,
Another wave of silenced blows,
Left of centre, dressed in red,
A deadly gait I'd never known,
I struggle with sleep, fraught
with belief, departed and weak,
Sound, it keeps even when late,
My head, so filled and weighted,
Deep within thought, perhaps,
I wish your existence had quietly lapsed,
Gone in folds, the air col
The green was never there, we'd caught in glimpse our amity,
There was power in association, because we couldn't imagine the minute
we'd take the easy path to love, and breathe when we had the chance.
Dancing notes of ecstasy through someone else's eyes, stolen time,
Little did I know, and hardly a shred more now.
When I'm feeling alone/all on my own
And the darkness enfolds me/in its chilling embrace
I'll close my eyes/and I'll picture a flame
That flickers at the end of a Roman candle
I needed space.
I needed time.
When was it last/that you were mine?
In the darkness I'll wait for someone like you.
Until I realize what I always knew
There's no one like you/no there's no one like you
(No one like you)
I see the flame sparking in the night/that flickers at the end of a Roman candle
(A Roman candle)
Do as they do.
(Do as they do)
When in Rome/do as they do.
I'll blend into the crowd/hide my face from you
I won't make a sound/I'll hide m
I'm not that ordinary
My ideas walk a line
Sometimes considered extraordinary
I just think they're mine
I dream of being older
Younger; all at the same time
One day I'll dive off a rooftop
Sometimes I think I can fly
Yet somehow when I awaken
I almost always find
My nose stuck in the dirt
Head broken open
Like a watermelon rind
I leave my life behind me
A trail of broken glass
Each and every shard
Bears a single crack
I'm not that ordinary
In fact, I'm rather odd
If ever you cross paths with me
Please be careful where you trod
For I leave my life behind me
A trail of broken glass
Each and every shard
Bears a web of cra
Hmm, I did it, but that might be admin powers :S When you click on the Gallery button at the top, does it give you the little edit button next to your art? That's what worked for me...
Ok, testing here... I'm sending you a request to promote you to "Contributor", which can apparently edit Gallery stuff, since I can't allow "Members" to do that.
And, if that works, I think I've set it so people can join as contributors automatically. So... work now?
