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
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
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
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
Wish You Were Here
So for once
All cleaned up
For the moment
Perfectly
Shaven
And well dressed
I even
Wore that
Favorite tie
The one you
Picked out
Shoes shined
With a smile
On my face
The one that
Meant something
Like when
I first met
You
And now
Standing here
By myself
Ruined
Because
I finally
Cleaned up
Just in time
To see you
Go
But I wish
I wish
You
Were still
Were still
Here
Hiatus
Shit
The thoughts
I once
Thought
Don't make
Sense
Rather
Just bounce
Off the walls
And I watch
As the words
Dance
In circles
In my dreams
My sleep
I meant what I
Said
Years ago
Just not
Right now
And I'm
So far away
From everything
Even though
I'm sitting
Next to her
Love
The love
And lies
That reality
Believes in
And a night
Off
From this city
Doesn't seem
So bad
Because
Staying up
All night
For no reason
Just waiting
Lost
It's touch
But turning
It all in
Rather
Giving in
Gaining
Touch
Back in
Reality
Is optimism
For the
Moment
Letting go
Letting my
Guard down
Helpful Hopelessness
Is my
Hiatus
Six Months Ago
Over and over
In my head
Too late
To even think
About looking
At the clock
Because I know
I'm getting up
Soon
Toiling in
My mind
As if
I think about
It
Her
Long
Enough
It'll bring
It all back
So when
I do fall
Asleep
I wake up
Just like
Last
Right next to
Her
