Here with me pressed against your chest
Breathing in, breathing out
A heartbeat to set the pace

Gently run your hands across my face
Cast the spell that calms and soothes

Every curve I fit
A mold that holds me safely in place

Tender sighs let me know I'm alive
Surrender to something deep and renewing

All the world, it fades away
All the haunts from my day
Hold me close and I will know
You are my home
I am home

Written around May 8, 2006

My alibi is clear, my mind is not.
I've been here with the pill,
Writhing on the floor,
Broken to the core,
Shaking with uncertainty.

Time is short, the pain it fits.
I'm flirting with the edge,
What I get may be more than I bargained for.
Darkened skies and dampened eyes,
I'm wearing this disguise.
Convinced nothing else will work.

I'll be the one to die tonight,
Just relax and let yourself breathe.
My emotions will amplify,
This high spawns from my own disease.
It's all been torn apart and discarded,
You will have your time to grieve.

The pieces of this broken night
Remind me when I cry
That the time I had, the love you felt,
Was always a lie.

Your words, well meant,
Are wasted in this argument.

Run away but never leave.
