Easier Than The Truth

Easier Than The Truth

And a late
Phone call
Well too late
2 am
Instead
Dates
By 12:30 am
Elegantly late

Loud music
Rather
Conversations
Overheard
Voices
Not in my
Head
But on the
other Line

Easier
Said
Than
Done
Actions
No longer
Accountable
For

Truth
Hurts
More than lies
But Lies
Are
Easier
Than the
Truth

Worried Shoes

Worried Shoes

And I'll write this
As I'm driving out
The town I'm staring
Down
As the sun sets
Over the skyline

Packed up
Sadness
Just
Carted to
Another town

And grown up
Emotionally
To leave
her
Never mentally
But physically
From her touch
Her smell

One day
This
It'll bring
Her
And me back

But
Until that day
Comes
Arrival
I won't
Be late

For Sleep's Sake

For Sleep's Sake

And at night
After we stay up
Until the wee
Hours of the morning
Talking
And staying up
For the sake of
Staying up

And after
I wait those
Last few
Minutes
Until I know
  That you're
Asleep

I listen to you
Breathe
and how
You
Subconsciously
Nestle
Towards me

I smile
and Kiss you
Softly
On your forehead
Closing my eyes

Only to meet
You
Shortly
In our dreams...

I'm Coming Home

I'm Coming Home

And a year
After
After the
Last
And the last
Two years
Ago
Before that

Sitting
Window side
Of the plane
Taking me back
To where it
Started

Miles
Pass under
The clouds
As they once
Passed
Under my feet

The good
Bad
And evil
Sanctuary
And
Battlefield

Lace them
Up
Daily
Even when it
Hurts

As I'm stepping
Off
The all
Familiar
Smell

I know
This is
Where
What
I'm doing

I'm coming
Home
