“uncoupling”
written on 4.13.16

i know you couldn’t help this
like an ice cube left outside
your passion melted away
and when you spiraled into the darkness
i offered you a lifeline
but couldn’t let you consume me

the fading of your headlights
narcotics leading to apathy
not nearly as bright as the sunrise in front of me
sometimes when i think hard i can still see the old you
but that dream so faint as i drive forward

this didn’t play out as i imagined
nothing like the silver screen
but this life is still so beautiful
you just have to adapt to the detours

i can feel the second hand ticking
reminding me of so much i need to do
i hope you don’t think this was easy
like the beauty of a cut rose withering
i just needed to push forward

i hope the future has so much to offer you
that you find the light and rebuild yourself
this life is still so beautiful
you just have to chase your dreams

“have to wait”
completed on 2.28.16

dreams, passion, the future hazy
one moment you’ve found home
then you’re stumbling in roam
a world of withering daisies

so maybe i’ve found hope
or just slipped to the end of my rope
when i see the tear slip down your cheek
i can’t stand to see you weak

we’ve cried in pain
felt emptiness and like giving up
but i’ll push life into your vein
save you from future heartache

you and i’ve felt alone
something we can’t overcome by phone
but i don’t mind the wait
’cause my heart won’t let me forget the date
that you brought joy back into my life

i’ll never tell you what to do
always love you for you
i won’t ever get in your way
’cause i’ll never forget the day
that you brought joy back into my life

“crack underneath”
completed on 12.15.15

the sliver of the moon
trying to pierce the night
because it’s better to go out fighting
than be swallowed by the dark

the winding road underneath
dimly lit, covered in sleet
struggling to thaw, avoid the freeze
the change a couple degrees could make

so maybe this is karma
for stealing the sun once underneath
the wind once meant to fill his sail
oxygen too thin for the two of us
the death of everything around us

whether you’re clawing out a landslide
or feeling the ice crack underneath
the uncertainty is the only thing clear
fighting for composure versus everything you fear

the fog of ambiguity
too dense to see the way out
your fear of the unknown
the death of everything you’ve known

the weight of life’s expectations
pressing my face underwater
too suffocating to breathe
gasping for what’s underneath

so maybe this is karma
for pushing the tide against its own
and you hate yourself
for life granting a brand new day
don’t let yourself get in the way

“If I Had You”
written on 12.10.13

it’s a lonely night
i feel the emptiness in my mind
a frigid night reminiscing of things that never aligned
an icy view of paths maligned

i see the could-have-beens
the worst headache of past regrets
i question the routes i took
i stop on your name in my address book

your smile flashes before my eyes
and lights up the darkest skies
i see all you have to offer
and how my life you’d alter

poetry sewing me to your soul
tying us together to make me whole
everything you are begs the best in me
your love making me feel so free

and we’ll grow old and grey
and that’s fine by me
’cause everything i see in you
is what helped me push through
life is so beautiful because of you…

“A Love Song For Marie”
completed on 4.15.13

you’re wearing a diamond ring
that doesn’t shine like it did before
the man who once promised you an empire
couldn’t care less anymore

it should be a symbol of undying love
but now it’s a weight upon your soul
you look back to photos in your white dress
contrasted to a heart now in distress

i hear the way he treats you
and it stings me to the core
’cause i would do anything to give you
the love that you deserve

life is anything but a destination
burning too bright to not be right
those eyes see right into my heart
certain without you i’ll fall apart

you are my romantic ending
’cause everything inside you
i thought was only purely fiction
you’ve shown me can be truth

all your sass and playful glances
defenseless to your loving advances
we both know how love should be
life’s just better with you next to me

“Shadows from Charlotte”
completed on 2.1.13

i sit here at this empty table for two
wishing i would have been here next to you
i wish the timing would improve
but we’re always on the move

you’re sitting in the same seat
i sat in two months ago
if fate would change the clock our way
i could be enjoying life with you today

i see your footprints in the sand
hear your laughter in the air
read the messages you’ve written
but it’s only your shadow i meet

maybe my dreams are puzzle pieces
tiny clues leading me to you
’cause when i wake up in the morning
i always feel so much closer to you

knowing that you’re out there
stings that i haven’t met you yet
in my dreams i see your silhouette
i hope it’s not the closest i will get

the soft breeze on your skin
the urge you have to grin
it’s my soul reaching out to you
that i’m always searching, it’s true
i’ll never be complete without you

“Alone”
completed on 11.3.12

it’s just one of those nights
the sky’s painted midnight blue
the air frigid to the bone
the perfect conditions for feeling all alone

every song i play
and every show that’s on
is just another reminder
that i’ve got no one to call my own

i pretend my phone’s turned off
’cause it almost helps me feel better
that no one is trying to get in touch with me
that no one is here to talk to me

i’ve been told she’s out there
but with every night that passes
i feel a little bit older
and a whole lot more alone

i feel my heart brighten
wrapped in the warmth of your company
but as the night comes to an end
i fade back to my lonely room

i can hear the voices and laughter
of people on some street next to me
but i’m the one bleeding hope
stuck in this vacant alley isolating me

i cling to a complete stranger
just to feel her heartbeat
i’m trapped sinking in this sand
lost feeling deserted and desolate

i was born to be a loving gentleman
so nothing feels worse
than having to live just for myself
what i would give to feel the lips of my last first kiss
