The mirror can’t take it anymore

words so cold, so collect, so clean

honesty a waking touch

jealousy is more blinding than love.

And you could be my enemy

and you could be my judge

if you could start remembering all the time that you used up.

A remedy seeking harp

love lapping hands

if I could stop remembering all the time that you used up.

And you could be my enemy

playing both sides

shattering us whole

and you could be my judge

resort of truths

graveyard of lies

and will rest in the middle.

Careful when looking beyond your view

blinded by infinite leisure.

Careful with your obsessions

sayin’ we will never be free.

If you can never change

it’s a deliverance

give up on giving up

you better hold on.

Trust me when I tell you ’bout my own dream

made my mind up long ago.

Trust me that I struggle with my own destruction

building up and letting go.

Look in my eyes

like you mean it

look in my eyes

like a mirror.

Like you mean it

I break

everytime I see your heels

chained to the radiator

lighter in my mouth

fluid tied to your hips.

The hills cover our flames

easier said then done

have me on my knees

open the red sea.

Trace the chalk line

the kiss of life

don’t feed after two

you’ll be my boo

leave with me tonight.

Pushed to the edge

talked ourselves to death

reflection you used to see

never looked alike to me.

Sayin’ what I wanted

not what I needed

going out my mind

good intentions(never good enough).

The dark light

the blazing ocean

you were a kaleidoscope

the future’s anchor.

Get out

of here

turn it around

 

or get out-

can we-

do you want to show me how?

The heat at the bottom

the light at the bottom

you were a kaleidoscope

a kaleidoscope.

 

Hold me

like a alcoholic’s drink

treasure the touch

gentle heart.

Guide into your chambers

carpet burned skin

feeling for the light

palms of pure gold captures.

They’ll pray below

sing below

and watch from a window

and envyv

Walk the lanes

high five a boomerang

blood on the dance floor

just a mood.

Rethink that outfit

doesn’t work with that makeup

kids don’t feel safe

long line at Sephora.

Bullet hole hoodie

there was enough room for Jack

eat a salad

laugh at my funeral.

In the morning

a little extra pick me up

the moment before the day begins

holding onto something

different.

The window of a different day

a different you.

Driving a different car

to a different job

nobody tells you its hump day

go home

wife is still there

kids are different

they called Spot, Raisin instead

the sun will hit the window and catch your eyes in a falling out

and it will be the first time

you’ve seen the Sunny Delight.

Then the glass is empty

you’ll kiss your wife

pet Rais- Spot

and go to work.

Standing in the middle of the street

not knowing right or wrong

chasing the dreams we never knew

something was different, yet nothing new.

Time to kill

was always an illusion

time stood still

and now we never will.

Writing our names along the building side

no place will our hearts be able to hide

I remember how I’ve always wanted to grow old

and now we never will.

How could you answer

the call

three rings and you blinked once

and off both feet.

The miracle was on the other line

singing hallelujah on this one

counting blessings like pennys on your desk.

The hold beep becomes as violent

as a stuttering heartbeat

waving to a crowd

and I thee ghost

front row seats

to the curtain close

roses passing through me

and a deafening dial tone.

Post date on everything

(feeling the mail climb to dangerous hoarder level)

dust hugged the curtains like a war veteran

and I’ll feel jealous as an ex lover.

The pens ink soils my hands

(I promised I’d be better)

the liar blinks past like the Flash

and this-

this is Flash Point

and I’m Nora.

Blood dried on my lip

chewing like tabacoo

and the phone will ring.

Covered by yesterday ad covered

by yesterday’s ad and last night’s leftovers

where you’ll find me-

shaking

holding a pen hostage

waiting for it to tell thee story.
