Schoolyard

Oh honey I love your way
As you softly whisper your fears
Traces of tears all around your words
Enjoy me for as long as you want

You take me to places I've always carried
But never had been to
Or never had really seen in me
What is it the price to be
As sweet and sad as you are

The clock is melting on the table
While you're near
The hours escaping through the window
With my fear of showing out

Oh I love your ways of dressing me up like I'm someone
Of changing me whole like I was never really born

So yes, lay your years on my pillow
Sail your dreams through my eyes
And never look when I'm drying my tears
No! they're nothing near
What you'll always be to me

And sleeping is much easier
Knowing you'll never want to let me down
They'll believe me, I'll hum and sway
Oh honey I

Blindlows

For today is the day
And tomorrow is away
I will always be the same
Future framed in liquid clay

For seconds are like arrows
Thin and sharp and twin bladed
This place allows me to forgive
(my defenses allow no pride)

For this garden is my soul
And around here I won't grow
Neither their roses or bushes
Or your floating kiss that soon tells me it never happened

For the lights are too weak to stand for too long
For this branch is thin and I'll keep it strong
For my tears are old, dusted ice that breaks on the floor
For I am the dumbest of the dumbest and I don't know how to conclude

As I think how easy it is to be and to hide
For this is the end of a try
Of trying and not keeping
