...head in the clouds
hours from heaven...
i nailed butterflies to my belly, they flutter when i'm weak
in love with the curve of your lips, but fade when you speak
erased weeks in bed scratching my back on the posts
every notch a memory of the angst that it hosts
those ghost grow more chatty as time goes
exposing what's most missed. then dissipates . . . slow
exit stage left
necklace rest next to your pic; aggravated with patience
cant wait to kiss the angels face or make its re-acquaintance
anxious hands, your vision always plays on my nerves
jagged words wrote in cursed manuscripts are a blur
love letters stir emotions, you’re an ocean of precious evils
I take caution ‘n walk around you like stepping through needles
people search their whole lives to find the kind of love we had
that’s why I broke knuckles fighting and let blood sign the cast
perhaps its been so long, ill never find the path to go back
so if we never lock eyes again, I just want you to know that
I fucking love you. . . more then these words can describe
If you'd search my dreams you'd know I'm hurting inside
and how the night terrors rise to show your face again
stop motion animation placed you in those frames again
reoccurring theme of that faithful day my ship crashed
fingers inches away as you slowly sink on your back
and your image distorts within the rippled water
then you were gone
along with everything I ever lived for or wanted
and so goes the song
“if i can turn back time”
i did
then came back my dear
my promise is this time I'm just going to sit here
anchor set, just above the coordinates where you died
i swear, I feel you close again every time I close my eyes
reciting a poem, key in tow to unlock your heart
because now we both know. . even death wont keep us apart
as the clouds come down, waves crash against the bow
water breach starboard
ten seconds to heaven now
and well ride there together to meet God on a fiery cloud
