8/6/12

You used to say forever.

You used to say forever -
forever's coming fast.

You used to make me promises -
I used to think they'd last.

And when you said you loved me,
I thought you always would.

I guess 'always' is one more thing
that I misunderstood.

You used to make me promises -
it seems that's in the past.

You used to say forever, but
forever's coming fast.

8/1/12

take my hand

take my hand and follow me
to the depths of fast and free
feel the pulsing of the sea
with every breath it takes

tide goes out and tide comes in
pulling at our sodden skin
pooling where our lungs had been
until the silence breaks

when we breathe again we'll choke
on that word we never spoke
and the waves our voices broke
will crush us in their wakes
