Built For You

Built For You

There's 
Not enough
Love
Not enough
Sleep 
Tonight 

For
Dreams
Rest
In silence 
While I 
Rest
Awake
Waiting
For

Morning dew
To call
You 
Cause
All that I've
Dreamed
Doesn't 
Count

For eyes 
Closed require
An 
Imagination
Without
Seeing you

And to
See
Without
Sight

Is to hear
Without
Sound

Yet to
Love with
The only heart
Built
For
Anything

Built for
You

Is the
Only thing 
I was 
Born
To do

Birthdays Too Soon

Birthdays Too Soon



A few weeks
Early
She says
Nonchalantly

A few shots
Deep
He says
Nonchalantly

And with
Birthdays
that come
Once a
Year

We make
the Best
Of Worst
Situations

Regardless
Of who
Buys
The Shots

But dates
Stick
Just like
Birth rights
And middle names

Even
After the
Time passes
Clocks tick
and Suns set

For whatever reason
Birthdays
Too Soon
Are better
Celebrated
Than
Birthdays
on
Actual
Birth days

She Wears Glasses

She Wears Glasses

Dresses flow
In the summer
Sun
The warm
Air

and 
Sweet smells

She's beautiful
Classy
And 
Educated
Knows Math
And reads

I'd fall
In love 
All over 
Again with
Her voice
Every time 

And
She wears
Glasses

Ghost Figures

Ghost Figures

In the night
The
Smoke
And
Mirrors

All closing
The shadows
Interchanging
But
No one
Accepting
The role
Of
Responsibility

And now
15 years
As if
It
Isn't
Enough
Ostracized
Exiled
Now
To be
Welcomed back
Parades
Honoring
the
Dis service
Of

Solitude
Abandonment

My Sister

My Sister

My sister
I've never
Had
But I'd
Think
Twice
Before I
Told a lady
Anything
Except
Her

Blood brothers
From
Another
Mother
Yet
Not
even though
I'd call
And defend
Her as
My own

Grew up
Apart
Yet in
the same
Lifeline
Just miles
Distanced
Away

To the
Advice
Given
And
Advice
Refused
Tough love
Respected
to the
End

For she
My sister
If not
From my
Mother
Yet
A sister
More than
A sister
Could
Ever
Be

Transatlantic Goodbyes

Transatlantic Goodbyes

Paralyzed
By
Transatlantic
Flights
Trips accross
Love lines

Closing
Your eyes
But it
Burns
From the lack
Of sleep
Or tears
For which
You can't
Produce
Anymore

Just
Like
Love
That feeling
She can't
Or won't
Produce
For you

Economy comfort
Doesn't
Bring comfort
To your
Fears
Turned
Into
Dreams
Only
Reality
When
You awake

Cabin pressure
Pressured
Thoughts
Over her
With
No place
to go

Transatlantic
Flights
Means
Good bye
For now
Good bye
Forever

Happy Birthday Halloween

Happy Birthday Halloween 

Tickets to
Flights
Just airline
Miles
Cashed
Rather

Not me but
Birthdays
I'd rather not
Celebrate
Alone

Expensive
Drinks
For expensive
Women
Who
I hate

But
Shirts
That
Fade
One color
Not short
Skirts

Dress apparel
Dress down
Becuase
Fuck

Halloween
Is hateful
Lust
Dressed in
Lingerie

Drink
Up
Stare
Down

And tomorrow
Get out
Of
Town
