In The Now

In The Now

And I'm
Too old
To get
Inspired
By what
I was before
Back when
22 and
Grad school
Was accepted

Inspired
By women
But now
That comes
Off as
Creepy

V-necks
And skinny jeans
Standard wardrobe
Replaced by
Ties and
Slacks

As if I
Don't
Slack
Off enough
In real
Life
Or work
These days

And at this
Age
I'm Afraid
To still
Grow up
Because
By now
I expected
Myself
To be
Or at least
Settled

But change
To
Stay the
Same
Against
The flow

But when
I find
My flow
My goal
As I
Grow

Maybe
This
Will
Get easier
Or I'll
At least
Accept it
Better

Because
I'll never
Relive
The past
Again
So I
Guess I have
To live
In the now

Settling Down

Settling Down

As the
Time
Ticks on
By the days
And months

All the
Attempts
And hopes
With you
Have failed

Of something
I knew
But you
Just couldn't
See

Maybe
I'm too
Old
Acting
Or you're
Too young
Looking

But when
The day
Comes
That
Somehow
Our
Ages finally
Agree
To meet

I'll
Be past
The thought
Of you

Not Alone

Not Alone

Up at
5:43 AM
The sheets
Half removed
From the
Bed

The smell
Of
Cigarettes

While the
Taste
Of alcohol
From a
Wasted
Night

To go home
With her
Is
At least
Not alone

Anxious

Anxious

Anxious to feel
Anxious
About something
What
I'm not sure

If I could Put
My finger on it
I'd be
Lying

A beer with Dinner
Normal enough
To make me
Sick

As hours later
My stomach
Turns
Twisting
In and out
Of line
And in space

A cup of
Tea
To clam me
Down

Speed things up
These days
It's hard to
Tell

But I tell you
This it's hard to
Sleep
Sleep with
These thoughts

Anxious enough
Something
I can't put
My finger on
Or off
Something
I can't get
Off of my mind

Love & War

Love & War

And
In the
Deepest
Darkest
Moments
When all
Hope fails
And the
Towel
Has been
Thrown

You know
The white
The light
Hasn't
Completely
Disappeared

When we
Give up
We give
Up
To secretly
Hope
Wish
Dream
One
Last time
For that
Last
Chance

Second
Hopes
Granted
Tonight
Unlike
Other nights
When
It
Shouldn't

And
Because
Of that
It causes
Lost hope
But
Great
Reward

Simple
Concepts:
With war
There is
Love
And with
Love
There is
War

Without
Love
There is
War

And
Without
War
There is
Love

Ambulances In The Night

Ambulances In The Night

I saw her
Last night
In the middle
Of the street
Passed out
Maybe conscious
Not dead
I hope not

Someone calls
911
And soon
Ambulances
In the night
Arrive without
Warning
Disguised
As angles
To save her
Life

I stand
Frozen in
Fear and
Helplessness
I watch
As they
Taker her
Away

The next day
I stand in the
Same spot
Where she lied

Wondering
If she’s
Alive
If she’s
All right
If she
Made it
Through the
Night

I say
A prayer
And walk
Away
Knowing
Her life
Will be
Changed
Changed forever
Today

Let A Good Thing Die

Let A Good Thing Die

I have a
Bad habit
Of watching
Letting
A good thing
Die

I do it
Sometimes
Like this
One time

I met a girl
Who I actually
Like
And she actually
Liked me
Who knew

A simple
Moment
To throw it
Off
Enough
To let
A good thing
Die

Severe
What’s left
Delete her
Number
Never
Talk to her
Again

I lose
Interest
Things might have
Worked out
But I digress

I let her die
A good thing
Die
Because
I don’t want
To lose
So I let it
Die
Before anything
Can be made
Of it

Shallow Friends and Even Shallower Love

Shallow Friends and Even Shallower Love

Wow,
How shallow can you be
There’s no love
None here for me

How low does this go
To believe what I believe
These thoughts of love

Wasted time
I paid it by the dime
Like a little kid at a candy store
And before I knew
My pockets were empty

Fuck it
That’s shallow
The talk
The walk
The clothes
All the way down to your toes

The lies
They taste like blueberry pies
Starting off sweet
But then turning sour

Don’t believe it
Shallow friends
And even shallower love

My Morning Made

My Morning Made

Waking
Up next
To you
Seeing your
Smile

It
Made my
Morning
Made my
Day

It was
Priceless

Yes Please

Yes Please

So here
Goes
Nothing:

I love
You
And
Gosh
You're
Beautiful
And to
Me
More than
The world

And knowing
You
For
Awhile now
Still
Feels
Like
We met
Just
Yesterday

Because
When
Your hand
Meets
Mine
I still
Get
Goosebumps

And truest
Of true
Heartbeats
Mine
Beats for
You

Yes please
I like
You
Head over
Heels
Just you
And no one
Else

Lonely Enough

Lonely Enough

The
Seconds
Tick
Off the
Clock
Friday night

And the
Water
Drips
A leaky
Faucet
A dripping
Reminder
Of
How
I've
Slipped
Away

The wall
Hasn't
Changed
In the
Past
Four
Hours
I've watched
It
From my
Bed

I stay
Busy
Because
That's better
Than
Lonely

Lonely
Enough
Because
I don't
Want
To feel
Alone tonight
For once
Enough
For a while

And
Maybe
After
All this
Shit
Is through
And when
She leaves
My head
And my
Heart

I finally
Won't
Feel
Alone

The Other Side of the Mountain

The Other Side of the Mountain

And past
Relationships
Pin points
Are made
Occasions
Moments
Timing
Whether
Off or on

And I
Reach
A thought
Where
The moments
Time
Is
As good
As it
Gets
The peak
Of a
Mountain

And
As if
Almost
Instantly
Pushing
Away
From relationships
Alienation

Starting
Back
At
Ground zero
Unintentional
Feelings
No longer
Found

But this
Time
Her
She does
Things
Differently
And if
I'm scared
Her calm
Eyes
Bring me
Back

Different
Because
I see
With her
There's
No peak
No climax
In this
Relationship

I'm right here
Right
Next to
Her
Always found

Reality Lies

Reality Lies

And reality
Lies
As I
Go to
Bed
In my head
I think
Of how
I wished
It could be
You and me

And now
Today
I realize
It can
Never
Be that
Way

And
After all
This
Our shared
First kiss

The moments
We shared
We were
Perfectly
Paired

But
For you
And me
We
Were
Never meant
To be

Officially Broken

Officially Broken

If decisions
Were to be
Made
Tonight
Would be
The
Biggest
Mistake

Alcohol
Cures
Everything
Until
The next
Morning's
Pounding
Reminder

Hearts
No longer
Beating
So might
As well
Remove it

Surgery
They say
Is the
Easiest
Solution

And
Hope
For what
They find
Doesn't
Pan out
As my
Heart's
All to
Frail
Weak
To beat
Alone
On its
Own

And they
Say
In life
There's
Hearts
To be broken
And
Hearts
To be made
But I don't
Want to
Do
Any of the
Taking
Or creating
Right now

And
As the
Defibrillator
Sparks
Anything
Of love
Left
In my
Heart

No
Pulse
Sparks
The screen

No longer
Available

No longer
Beating

Dead
And officially
Broken

Her Audience

Her Audience

An audience
Her audience
To play
For
A show
To behold
Or just
Ignore
My attempts
To talk
To her

Impressively
Unimpressive
My summer
Tales
Deeds
Adventures

But
Your
Fashioned
Shirt
Of
The band
I saw
This summer
Keeps me
Intrigued

Drinks
Had
Over conversations
With respective
People
Sitting
On our
Sides

As I try
To reel
You
Back in
Of stunts
And accents

And
As the
Night
Passes
Drinks
On the
Rocks
Dim
Lights
Light up

Shaking
Hands
Offering
Walks
Home
She
Politely
Declines

Choosing
Close
Girlfriends
Walking
Arm
And Arm
Out

But
Not
Before
She unknowingly
Slips
Her
Digits
With
"call me"
Underneath

An audience
Her
Tonight
Hopefully
Tomorrow
Too

Stepping Out

Stepping Out

And I
Give up
On it
All love
Says
And
Does

Cause
When
Someone
Steps
Out
On you
For smokes
Among
Other things

Least
Of all
Worries

And
Causing
Everything
Anything
Good
To break
Down

And
As
Stepping out
Could
Damage
Weakens
Things
Mind
Body
Soul

Love
The
Unknowingly
Even
When
Steps
Taken
Away
From
One's self

Until
Those
Steps
Out
Never
Return

She

She

So there's
This girl
I like
Crush
Over
Cute
Really
Pretty

The way
Beautiful
Should look
Even
When
Waking up

Her
Hair
Perfectly
Always falls
In place
Windy days
Or
Not

And those
Skinny
Jeans
Wonders
To my
Mind
Her curves
How
Curves
Should
Curve
Exactly
That

And
I hope
She
Knows
Me
Well
Enough
Cause
I'm
Asking her
Out

Because
She
Needs to
Know
She's
Beautiful

And
Because
I want
To be
The
Only one
To hold
Her hand

April Fools

April Fools

And I'm going to
Lie
To you

Work late
End of
Quarter
Shit
I have to
Finish
Skip dinner
I'll catch
Up later

Crushed
Or
Deeply
Saddened
But understanding
Because well
Well
Work is
Work

Anxious
To wait
On a phone
Call
Text of
"I'm on my way"
Hopefully
Hopeful

A knock
On the
Door
Unexpected
Stranger
Unannounced

And low
And behold
I'm
On time
With flowers
Thoughtful
Lovely

April Fools

How To Deal

How To Deal

And deal
With her
Because
That's
How
You
Were raised
Respect
Love
Cherish

Deal with
Her
Little
Quirks
Spontaneous
Thoughts

Because
It
In some
Embarrassing
Way
Always
Makes
Your day

Deal with
Her
New recipes
Even if
It turns
Out
Good
Or bad

It always
Fills your
Stomach
Up just
Right

And
But
Most importantly
Deal with
Her
At her
Worst
Most
Vulnerable
Moments

Because
At this
Time
She wants
No one
Else
To deal
With
Her
Except
You

And She
Would only
Do the
Same
And deal
With
You

Scarlet Thanks

Scarlet Thanks

Too many
Letters
Too many A's
Handed out
Scarlet
Letter A's

But not
Enough
T's
For thanks
Simply
Not said
Or share
Enough

And today
It's
Only
Personal
Gain
Wealth

Not
For
Hope
Or the
Fact
Of
In simple
Terms
Charity

But
What we
Spell
T's
To be
Thankful
And say
Thanks

Is something
I can
Only
Say
Because
Of her

If It's Worth It

If It's Worth It

If It's
Worth
It

You'll
Know
And
You'll
Know

That instant
Not a second
Later

A switch
Flips
A light bulb
Goes off
A heart
Skips
A beat

What was
Impossible
Doesn't seem
That
Impossible

The world's
At ease

And if
It's
Worth
It

Don't stop
At
No
Don't stop
At can't

If you
Believe
That can't
Be
Taken
Away

Do
Whatever
It
Takes

Love like
No
Tomorrow

Rainy Thoughts

Rainy Thoughts

And too much
Rain
For the
Thoughts
Ideas
About this
Girl
To come out
On paper
Or just
In plain view

Chilly
The days
Cold the
Nights
Away
From her
As
Frost mornings
Bring
Little hope

But
When
That day
The right
Day
Comes
When she
Comes back
The
Sun
Somehow
Breaks
Through the
Clouds

Bringing
Light
And hope
Sunny
Warmth
On my
Skin

And I
Know
Everything
Will be
Ok

Fortune Cookies

Fortune Cookies

Give me
A girl
Who'd
Rather cook
Than
Eat out

Drink
Cheap beer
But expensive
Martinis

Dress up
When
You're supposed
To
Dress down

Just give
Me that
With a
Clean
Clever
Smile

And
It's
All because
Horoscopes
I never
Believe

Especially
From
Fortune
Cookies

But who
Knew
That it
Would
Lead
Me to
You

Priceless

Early
Plans
Before she
Comes back

Dinner
Made
Special
Family
Recipe
Secrets
Hopefully
To one day
Share
With her

Flowers
Bought
Her
Favorite
But she
Smells
Better

Last
But not
Least
Candles
Lit
Lights
Dimmed
And

She
Comes
Walking in
Perfect timing

The smile
On her
Face
As I
Kiss her
Hello
Priceless

Half Full

Half Full

Love
Half full
Or
Empty

These days
Let's just
Guess
And hope
For the
Best

And while
It's
Just a
Phase

It's one
That could
Last
Awhile
Or
To long

So just
Wait

But
How long
And
Is there
Enough
Patience

But
Tomorrow
Leaves
Something
More
Desirable

But
Is
It
Or just
She
Worth
Big
Investments
Made

So
I don't
Know

Half full
Or
Just
Half empty

Well Love

Well Love

Well love
And I
Should
Believe
In it
Because of
Who loves
Me

Mark them
On my
Belt
As hope
Or
Reminders
Of how
This all
Plays out

Because when
It's all said
And done
The belt just
Gets tighter
Yet we don't
Feel a
Thing

Bad Timing

Bad Timing

Sometimes
Waking up
On the wrong
Side of
The Bed
Or life
Feels like
This morning

A shot
To end it
All
Blown
With
Lady

Bad timing
I guess
Now I
Wake up
Late
Go figure
No alarm
Clock
On life
Or this
Morning

Stumble
To shower
To clothes
To meet
Lady
For coffee

Late again
With her
Or just
Life

Bad timing

Meetings
At work
Unprepared
Over
Dressed
Wishing
Today was
Over

And
Maybe
One day
Some day
I'll
Fix it
Timing

With
My life
With
Her

Better Than This

Better Than This

Here
What I write
Tonight
Late enough
To sleep
Or early
Enough
To get
Up

E-mails
Or
Texts
My phone
Beeps
Wishful
Thinking
As it's
Just my alarm

But OK
Start
My day

With just
A thought
Idea
Or a wish

That it will
All
Someday
Be
Better
Than this

Dear Heart

Dear Heart

Dear
Heart
Don't
Die

Young and
Restless
Full of
Blood
Full of
Hope

Time flies
Of good
Love
In love

Dear
Heart
Beat
Strong

Now
Who
Can you
Trust
Mistrust
Lies
Deceptions

Dear
Heart
Keep
Beating

Recovery
Deep
Breaths
Don't fall
Keep
Beating forward

Dear heart
Keep
The same
Beat
Same pace

Because
Lost time
Causes
Skipped
Beats
Rather
Breaking down

Dear heart
Keep beating
Don't stop
Keep...

Another New Day

Another New Day

I like
How I
Come
Over late
Especially
When
She's
Scared
Thunderstorms
Lightning

Or
If
I miss her
Surprise
Visits
Chinese
Food

Up
All night
Under covers
While
Movies play
Reruns
Off the
ABC channel

And
If the
Next morning
Waking up
Next to
Her
Starts
My days
Off
Best

Refreshed
More than
Other
Nights
And
Leaving
The
Sun
Always
Seems
To shine
Just
A little
Brighter

Another
New day
Started
By
You

Happy

Happy

I’m happy
To be happy
Happy to be accepted
For who I am
What I like
What I do

I’m happy
To be happy
And
Happy to have
You

Carry On

Carry On

If the
World
Were
To end
Soon
Tonight
Would
You
Be able
To confess
What I
Would
Confess
To you

And
Would
You
In those
Last
Few
Frozen seconds
Accept
What
I had
To say

And
If you
Survived
Over
Me
Would
You
Still
Carry on
The same

Loveless

Loveless

Fall
In love
Comfortably
But
Not too
Cozy
Because
That would
Mean
Love truly

Ready
To love
But not
Settle
Yet
With her
Or anyone
Specifically

Theoretically
Growing up
But
Growing
In and
Out of
Love

Decisions
I can't
Make

And
In the
End
Comfortably
Uncomfortable
In love
But
Loveless

No Going Back

No Going Back

And you
Can't
Go back
Even in
Your dreams
When she
Opens
Her arms
One last
Time
Only to be
Waking up
Holding pillows

But as with
Life
It forces
Always
Pushing
Against
Your will
Forward
Into
Unknown

And only
To
Love the
Now
And future
But
Celebrate
The past
Because
Today
There
Are
No more
John Wayne's
Or
Audrey Hepburn's
Of
Love
To love
Anymore

The
Romances
Of today
Are
Rare
But true
In the
Find
And
A romance
Found
Is worth
Far more
Than
Any amount
Of money

And as
History
Repeats
Love is
A full
Commitment
To the
Romance
Her

Because
Now
Once
Again
You decided
To go
All in

For
When
Falling
In love
There's
No going
Back

Don't Let Go

Don’t Let Go

Hold her hand
Tight
And don’t let
Go
Because tomorrow
You have to
Go

And leave
For a week
Only a week
Might
As well be a
Month
A year even
Fuck

I don’t want
To go
Leave
Her smile
Her smell
Her touch
Most importantly
Her

I don’t want
To leave
Her
Ever

Never Shout Never

Never Shout Never

Never
Shout
Never
She says
About life
Hope
Happiness
And love

But I’ll
Choose not
To believe
From my past
That digs my
Grave
A dark
Hole
Deep pit
In my stomach
A page
In a book
I’ll never turn
To again

Never
Shout
Never
She says
As she
Kisses me
On my cheek

There’s
Always
Another chance
A new hope

And I believe
Believe in it
Just like I
Believe
In her
See it
In her eyes
Hear it
In her voice
And feel it
In her kiss

I lean back
Into her
And whisper
In her ear
I’ll

Never
Shout
Never

And You Kiss Me

And You Kiss Me

A kiss
Is something
I wish
From you
Before I
Go to bed
And dream
Of you
In my head

And you kiss
Kiss me
On my cheek
As you whisper
Don’t peek

And I close
My eyes
Tightly shut

But
I want to
Open them
And watch
You kiss me

But I won’t
Disagree
With you
And lean in
As if I haven’t
A clue
Of what’s going to
Happen

And you never
Disappoint
Kissing me
Just how
I remembered
It best
Just like rest
Like the
Last time

With my
Eyes closed
Leaving me
Exposed
Showing me
And everything
I have to offer
To you
In the fullest
Most sincere
Moment

And
You
Kiss
Me

Blank Canvas

Blank Canvas

You got a car
And with tonight
And the drinks
Gives me a thought
An idea
Of us
How I want
This picture
I’m painting
To be

So let’s get
In your car
Drive
Away to
Boston
New York
California
Anywhere
But here
Tonight

And pack
A bag each
Enough to survive

We can leave
Out
Problems
Issues
Whatever
Behind us

Start up
Fresh
Start today

Let’s make something
New
On this blank
Canvas
I have

Let’s create
Something
Better
Create this
Create us
Create
Me
And
You

Cardigan Weather

Cardigan Weather

Tonight
On the
Lake
Some where
Up
In the
North eastern
States
Walking
To the docks
While
You're
Holding
My hand

The water
Is cold
As the
Steam
Is rising
Above
Meeting
The warm
Air
Cardigan weather

Finally
Reaching
The other
Shore
Fireflies
Greeting us
As we dock

The dew
On the grass
Brushing
On our legs
Walking
To the
Big tree

But
You
You've
Never been
Here
Before
No one
Has
Except
Me

Finally
Opening
Your
Eyes
To the
Tree
Lighting up
With lights
Christmas
In July

And a
Star
Shoots
Across
The sky
Both
Secretly
Wishing for
The night
Not to end

Chilly
You are
So I share
My cardigan
And we watch
The sun
Slowly rise
As the birds
Begin
Chirping

Only
To leave
When the sun
Fully rises
But leave
Happy
Because
I spent
Last night
With you

Long Talks

Long Talks

Tonight
I wasted
3 hours
15 minutes
And
30 seconds

On the phone
At home
With her

Miles away
But in a
Few days

I’ll be there
And
Showing her
Every reason
That I care

But tonight
I wasted
3 hours
15 minutes
And
30 seconds

On the phone
At home
With her

And I couldn’t
Imagine
Wasting that
Time
With anyone
Else
But
Her

What's Right

What's Right

And
I could
Leave her
Because I'm
Scared
To stay
Together
Or
Of her
Us
What we
Can be
Love

When it
Feels so
Good
It can't
Be wrong
Second guessing
Because
There's nothing
Left
To guess
About

But
Commitment
To her
And us
I can't
I don't know
Too afraid
Eyes closed

And I've
Been
Here
Almost
Before
But this
It's different
Better
I can
Feel

Love her
But when
The time
Comes
Cold feet

Wish
I could
Just
Accept
What's
Right

On Her Tippy Toes

On Her Tippy Toes

And on the
Worst
Of days
She still
Kisses
Me
On my
Cheek
While standing
On her
Tippy toes

Fall Back Together

Fall Back Together

And how
Love
Works
These days
Especially
Isn't how
You want
It to
Work

Love
Falls
In love
Then
Unravels
Like
Yarn

Thread less
Hearts
Lay
Abandoned
For days,
Months, years

Only
Hope
Can repair
It
Back to
What it was
Once
Worth

But
Sometimes
Soon
Hope
Can
All be
Sewn
Back up
Restored
To it's
Natural
Shape

And
The funny
Thing
About love
It's never
Shaped
The same
Way
Twice

Only
Each
New time
It's sewn
Back
Into
Something
More beautiful
Than before

So
When
This
Or me
And you
Us
Falls
Apart

Eventually
We'll
Fall
Back
Together

Must Love Laughing

Must Love Laughing

Smiles
On her
Face
While holding
Her hand

Walking
In the
Sun
On the
Beach
A picnic
To
Be had

And her
Personality
Addicting
Like a
Page turning
Book

But most
Of all
She makes
Me laugh
Everyday
Even when
Things
Don't go
As planned

A smile
On her
Face
Always
To change
My frown
Upside down

An addiction
Accepted
By society
Accepted
By her
For as
Every day
She makes
Me smile
And most
Importantly
Makes me laugh

Away From Here

Away From Here

I have to
Travel
Travel away
From here
Away from
Here

Some days
And most
Nights
I need to
Leave
Leave this town
It’s not right
For me

The same bars
Drinks and
Girls
Same trails
I run
Daily

But it gets
Old
Like the
Lifestyle
I live
Here
I need to leave
Sometimes
I wish

But school
Is still in
Session
Wish I could
Quit
Quit school
Starting writing
And get
Married
An easy
Way out
I admit

But the
Only way
Out
On some days
Most nights

The drinks
Make me
Think
Differently
But
Whatever
Good night

I leave
Tomorrow
Don’t say
Goodbye
I already

Left

Falling Apart

Falling Apart

Lost times
And time
Apart
That's what
Distance
Does
To a person's
Mind
Their
Psyche

Second guessing
What's good
In a
Relationship
Or rather
For one's
Own self
Worth
In this

Home
Soon
A short
Stay
But long enough
To fight
Over dinner
Then
Catch the
Red-eye
Out

Flowers
Sent
In regret
Through
Postal
Services
Arriving
And more
Reliable
Than himself

Anniversaries
Spent
Texting
Rather
Than
Surprising
Decisions
Made
And regretted

And
After
All this
At some point
He or she
Has to
Realize

That with
All the
Love
Everything
They
Have
Is
Falling apart

Commit

Commit

Commit
To something
Please
Say yes
And not
No

A year
Almost
Yet
Everything
Hinging on
Us
As the door
Hinges
Swing
When you
Move in

Commit
To one
Word
Or another
Love
Or
Leave me
But please
Just
Commit

Because a
Lady
Like her
As complete
As she
Is
Will
Find commitment
Elsewhere

So commit
To committing
Commit
To me
Commit
To us

Because
I'm committed
To you
And
And well
You're
All I've
Got

In View

In View

Self obsessed
Contemporary
Over
Classy drinks
Martinis
And ladies
In cocktail
Dresses

Talk
Over
Small things
Small talk
They say
A Tuesday
Night
Business
As usual

Self
Indulged
In myself
Egotistical
Desires
Money
Power
Fame

Or
Lack
Thereof
At the
Moment

But
Pressing
Myself
Ideas
Against others

When
I look
Out the
Window
For a
Sign of
Hope
In
All
This

And as
My
Eyes
Scanned
You walked
Perfectly
In view:
Destiny

Leaving
The thoughts
Of my mind
Business
And drinks
Casual
Or not

To meet
You
Outside
And say
My name
And you're
Beautiful

And because
I never do
This

The
Exchange
Awkward
But
Sincere

A second
Shared
Before
Leaving
But with
A smile
Knowing
I'd see
You
Again

Ready

Ready

Yea
Tonight
I have
To be
Ready

My heart
Pounding
For some
Reason
I know

Taking
Her
Hand
Something
I've held
Before

Nerves
I have
To be
Ready
Now
Tonight
Tomorrow

Permission
Asked
And
Granted
A free pass
To her

Words
Spoken
Speeches
I'm not
So good
At preparing

This
Has to
Be
Perfect
I have
To be
Ready

And
Because
Tonight
Ready or
Not

On
One knee
I'm gonna
Ask
The girl
Of my
Dreams
To marry
Me

Princess In The Tower

Princess In The Tower

And you
Love her
Or
At least
Believe
That
Because
It's what
She
Says

And the
More
You
Write
Talk
About
Her

Is only
Laying
Each brick
Just as
Every
"I Love You"
Cements
Them
Together

As
Days
Months
Or
Even a
Year
Passes

She
Her
Love
Becomes
Out of
Reach
From you

Built
Now
On
High hopes
Rather than
Lovely
Thoughts
Like before

And
She is
No longer
What you
Think
Of
As
Your love

But
Only as
A princess
Up
In the
Tower
That you
Built
Her
On
