snow
softly, softly
snow
softly, softly
not even a whisper
I thought the earth moved when we touched
but you didn't feel a thing
not even a glimmer
I choke down words I want to say
I can't send anymore words
they sit in an empty room
dark, the door locked
you must really hate me
for trying to love you
not even a whisper

you must really hate me
for trying to love you
that i planted seeds in you -
scatterings of light in the dark underground
I want to believe
that tendrils are pushing through the earth
that when they meet the sun
a garden will appear
that i planted seeds in you -
scatterings of light in the dark underground
I want to believe

and I'm in the ground
you're the moon
and I'm the howl
and I'm in the ground
you're the moon
and I'm the howl
just something small
a photo I saw
I wish I could send it
but I'm not brave enough anymore
I remember too well
the silence
words can be weapons
but so can the lack of them
just something small
a photo I saw
I wish I could send it
but I'm not brave enough anymore
I remember too well
the silence
words can be weapons
but so can the lack of them
and I,
of the softest skin
I tried to hold you
but it was cold, and hard
my tears a rain
you would not feel

for the boomerang
for my love
to come back
for the boomerang
for my love
to come back
bombs booming
bombs dropping
bombs in the sky
why

but a closed bud is desolate.

a summer storm coming
my skeleton
an inadequate shelter
for my heart

sound of rain
every drop
a question
sound of rain
every drop

in May
I feel cold in the sunshine
they've all gone away
floating on the wind
where I can't follow
in May
I feel cold in the sunshine
they've all gone away

where I can't follow
on the newsfeed
it surprises me
when walking,
that the rain still smells
the same

you loved me
but you used to take my hand in yours before we went to sleep,
and softly kiss it

magnolia buds
but my bones are cold

an older couple holding hands
while walking

while walking
in the small strip of grass between concrete and rushing cars
I long for
a quiet forest

but
never like this
my softness still curling
against the impenetrable wall of your chest

the calendar says
but even the sun
cannot thaw
this cold wasteland

as the barren fields between us
I hope you can feel the sunlight on your back
as you run
as the barren fields between us
I hope you can feel the sunlight on your back
as you run
dust from barren fields
gray sky
I keep walking
never finding you
dust from barren fields
gray sky
I keep walking
never finding you
I follow your tracks
they lead into the forest
I am a doe,
gently leading
I follow your tracks
they lead into the forest
I am a doe,
gently leading
in the cold and dark
the seed forgets
what she will become
in the cold and dark
the seed forgets
what she will become
floats and melts
my dog and I walk
there is still softness
in this world

we were at a baseball game
a ball hit me square in the chest
that is exactly how it feels
