Right now…
I want to be sitting there with you again…
On the patio with our white rockers.
Watching the constellations travel above us.
Under the most pristine night sky.
Completely unmarred by light pollution.
I want to be gazing there with you again…
The moon sitting high off the horizon.
Spread out like a vast canvas.
Painted midnight blue.
Perfectly studded with stars.
I want to be chatting there with you again…
Waves crashing into the shore.
Loud and abrupt like thunder.
Soft beams from the lighthouses spinning.
Dancing along the eastern coast.
Right now…
All I want is to be in Sunset Beach again.
With you.

Awakening
I was out on the dock Of the lake one dark night. I thought I was alone But you just weren't in my sight. With your hand around my neck You swiftly struck out my light. Then you tied the rope To the cinder block so tight. And I sank. And I drowned. And I lost all hope... But then the rope... It fucking broke. I fought to the surface Pain with every stroke. Leaving behind all the hopelessness That you had evoked. I reached the cool air Now gasping as I choked. I knew I had made it From you and your rope.
Gone
I'm losing control of everything around me, and only I am to blame. All I've ever known is changing, and I just want it to stay the same. I'm now slipping through the cracks, of a floor I thought was so strong. I'm holding on to everything around me, knowing it'll be gone before too long.
Prescribe
Give me a diagnosis Of why I'm so hollow. Please... Give me the instructions I promise I'll follow.
I’m Sorry
There's so many things that I wish I could say. But I know they'll come out all wrong anyway.
Rekindled
Sometimes... Our own light Goes out. Embers die. Flames fade. Warmth ceases. Then... Just as fast It can be rekindled By a spark From another's. Giving us everything We had missed.
These Thoughts
Every night, These thoughts weigh heavy on my mind. Every morning, I shut them up and push them aside.
Still You
I've still thought about you, Every hour, On the hour, Of every day, Since I left you there. Worrying. Contemplating. Crying. Hoping and praying, You make it through. And I'm still here, Trying too. Because despite everything, It's still you.
Just Me
There was just me. Then there was you too. Sitting in white rockers. Up high on a dark, chilly balcony. Watching, gazing, thinking... Overlooking the night of Sunset Beach. Staring up under Orion's Belt. Lights shining through pinholes. Set deep into the ink black sky. Imaging, dreaming, growing... Watching the waves in front of us. Listening to their thunderous sounds. We're smoking cigarettes. Breathing in more than the salty air. Talking, laughing, crying... It was just us and our thoughts. Our words that broke through the ocean air. Thoughts that came to light. Feelings that were shared. Loving, believing, living... Now they are only memories. Almost like they were never really there. A blank space with nothing left to see. Because now it's only you. And now it's just me.
With You
When I'm with you, I memorize every angle of your face, I breathe in as much of you as I can, I notice your every movements, I record your voice and laugh in my head. So when I'm away, I can remember every minuscule detail, Of every single moment, From when I was with you.
