Weekly Letters
And well
My weeks
Bleed into
Each other
Like the
Ink bleeds
Through the
Paper
Of the letters
I write
I write one
Once a week
I've written
Almost
A half
Dozen by now
Because
In my life
That's how I count
My days
In the weeks
Ones
I write
To her
And I write
Conversations
To myself
Ones
You'll
Read
And I know
At least
Four more
Weeks
Until
She visits
Four more letters
I write
But willingly
Because
I know
The girl
That loves
Me
Is reading
Them
On the
Other side

Closed Doors on Hopeless Love
Closed Doors on Hopeless Love
And I want it
All
Because I
Can't have anything
But if I had
Anything
I'd give
Everything
For her
Over
My head
and
Or Head
Over
Heels
I'd give at least
That much
To see her
Once more
And when you think
As if
Walking through
The door
would be
Easier
The second time
Around
You
Realize
She isn't
Coming back
And that
Door will
Never open
Again
And I want it
All
Because I
Can't have anything
But if I had
Anything
I'd give
Everything
For her
Over
My head
and
Or Head
Over
Heels
I'd give at least
That much
To see her
Once more
And when you think
As if
Walking through
The door
would be
Easier
The second time
Around
You
Realize
She isn't
Coming back
And that
Door will
Never open
Again

Everybody Knows
Everybody Knows
Heads up tonight
Hesitation
Rather from the drags
Of my cigarettes
But not the sips
Of my beer
Forgetting
Your texts
And silencing your
Phone calls
The norm
These days
I guess
Lost
Without a
GPS
They don't make
These for
Your mind
Or heart
For that matter
But falling
Out of line
And off the
Beaten path
Down the
Rabbit's hole
Everybody
Knows
You don't
Love her
Anymore
And so it
Be told
Heads up tonight
Hesitation
Rather from the drags
Of my cigarettes
But not the sips
Of my beer
Forgetting
Your texts
And silencing your
Phone calls
The norm
These days
I guess
Lost
Without a
GPS
They don't make
These for
Your mind
Or heart
For that matter
But falling
Out of line
And off the
Beaten path
Down the
Rabbit's hole
Everybody
Knows
You don't
Love her
Anymore
And so it
Be told

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
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

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
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
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
