Breakfast Talks


Breakfast Talks

I wake up
Next to you
It’s good
To wake up
Next to
Something
Someone

It’s late
In the morning
Hungry
Breakfast time

Cereal
Bananas
And juice
I’ll buy
The sugar
Next time

Breakfast
Tastes
Like breakfast

We talk
Have breakfast talks
I feel comfortable
Talking
To you
Telling you
Things
I don’t show
Or tell other people

So tonight
Come back
To bed
With me
Because
I can’t wait
Until morning
Because
Morning brings
Breakfast talks

Wine And Dine


Wine And Dine

Too much wine
Tonight
While I dine
But the ride
Home
Won’t be fine

Ride home
Ride home
Alone
And what’s that
About
My vice you say
It’s just like
Having lice
You think you
Get rid of them
But they come back
And they travel
Travel in packs

Something to sleep too
That something
Isn’t you
Or the thought
Because we always
Fought
And it made me
Distraught

Oh well
Life throws
Curve balls
And I get chased
Down the halls
Of my nightmares
In my dreams
Nothing is
What it seems

Don’t stay alive
Or get the wrong
Vibe
Of me
But strive
To do something
Positive

Stay in school
And try
To be cool

There’s always
Another girl
Worth a whirl
At the game of
Life
Who someday
Could be your
Wife
If it fails
Don’t go
And cut your
Wrists
With the knife

There’s another
Chance
And if anything
You can always
Move to France
Because they love
Romance

Until then
It’s goodbye
I’m about to drink
This dry
Wine
While I dine
Because on the ride
Home
I’ll be traveling
Alone

Standing On The Edge Of Summer


Standing on the Edge of Summer

I’m standing on the edge of summer
And it’s only two in the morning over here
I’m doing a better job forgetting you than sleeping alone
And you’re far away from me

It still feels like it’s yesterday
As I take a deep breath
And the night becomes morning
Still just as tired as the night before
Maybe if not more

They say there’s a lot to live for
And I still have a lot left to do
It’s a lot to think about sometimes
And probably why I don’t sleep
My black book keeps my thoughts organized though

Another day passes
And another summer has come and gone
I’m a lot older now
With my thoughts and ideas neatly organized
And maybe there’s someone next to me
But every time I look to see her face
I wake up.

New York


New York

New York
Is a place
Always on my mind
I’ve never been there
Yet
I can picture it
Like I was there
Yesterday

It’s expensive
To live
Let alone
Breathe
The thick city
Air
Nothing comes
Cheap
And certainly
Not free

Best places
To eat
Have cultured food
Home made
And exciting

The bars
Never close
Well they close at
Four A.M.
Or when you meet
That lucky girl
Just be careful
She’ll steal your
Heart
Like New York
Stole mine

The people you
Meet
Are unlike
Anyone else
Weird
Different
And sometimes odd
I feel like
I would fit in
In New York

It can be
Scary
In the night
Or how
The business
Is so cut
Throat
It will eat you
Alive

But this is why
People
Are drawn to this
City
Every year
Drawn to the
Excitement
Of the glow
The aura
Of this beautiful
Yet daunting city

The city
I feel in love
With
The city I’ve
Never
Been too

New York

Appreciate Her


Appreciate Her

And songs
Like this
Make you
Wanna
Dance
Slowly
At 2 AM
Only
You
And her
An audience
Made of
Only stars
In the night

Or because
On weekends
You'd rather
Stay up
All night
To Talk
To her

And when
You sleep
Sleeping in
Only to
See her
For just
A few more
Minutes
In your
Dreams

But
At 2 AM
Hold
Her close
Hold her
Tight
And don't
Forget
To whisper
In her
Ear
That you
Love her

Because
You do
You really
Do

So dance
Slowly
Because
2 AM
Only comes
Once a
Night

And talk
All night
Because
It's just
Her
And
You

Appreciate
Everything
Appreciate
This
Appreciate
Her

Because
This
Her
Now
Only
Comes once

My Star


My Star

Stand out
In the crowd
A spotlight
On you
Tonight
Always
When
You’re
With me

I promise
You’re
Special
Because
You are
To
Everyone
But
Especially me

And if
To only
Hold your
Hand
Lovely
It would
Be

See
What I
See
Perfection
In front
Of me

Above
The rest
You
Stand
The best
I think
I know
For sure
Really

Trust me
For once
Always
Only me
Because
I could

Only
Trust
Someone
Well
Just you

So light
Up
Because
That’s
Who
You
Are
And will
Always
Be

To me
