The hand crosses a face, Moves the blood through the cells Letting go of ghosts Freedom from all attacks It was said we would dance, Never guessed it would be like this While your handouts are free You are one who will never be A moment past a second, A second past this moment This…

When I look at your scared arms, I remember calling them home While remembering the tornados I know we were damaged I can’t control these contaminated wrists When all I hold is a phone, I glance back at our yesterdays When we thought we had a future When the final note strikes a chord, I…

Walks the thin trapeze wire, Bombs on either side Expecting love, We have run out of gas on this ride Slowly we open our bleeding eyes, There’s no returning To come home, we realize Is only going into hiding It’s you, the long held wind caught me to see Should I become able to breathe…

​Severed lines; The hope we still hold on, Faded out; Nothing they say can wait, Lost beneath my shield; And they’ve just been throwing knives Take to the stage your make up; Leave behind what you’re made of, And make sense until the crowd makes sense in losing you;
