I was never as good as you at making memories from strings and ivory. Such talent you had, for drawing forth music that would be as lilting - or as woeful - as you needed it to be. It doesn't stop me now, though; it may be my fingers upon the keys, but it's your soul within the sounds. You would sit here for hours almost every day, lost in your thoughts. And now, despite your portrait on the walls and the ring still set around my finger, nothing pushes me to get lost in thoughts of you the way idly pressing on this piano does.

On the Horizon

Somewhere far away from here, there is a land where the rain comes only as often as you want it to. It's a land where the sun doesn't glare and the night doesn't blind, where the weather is perfect for holding you tight while the stars shine. We'll dangle our feet over the cliff; people would think us reckless fools, if there was anyone for miles around to see us. We'll watch the sun sink into the sea. Aren't the colours of the sky more beautiful than anything you ever did see? ...Except, of course, for the pairing of you and me. Somewhere far beyond us, the birds and forest critters continue on with their chattering and the

Hitchhike

I don't know where I'm going, but I know I need to leave. There's nothing left for me here - Just dead end streets and dead end jobs. This town is a trap, only more quicksand than quick metal teeth. It'll suck you in slowly and give no escape... Until death comes a-knocking on your door. I'll be okay, don't worry. I've got Everything you ever gave me - Good heart, good head on my shoulders, and good humour. So I guess this is my goodbye to the town That never got to say goodbye to you, Pa. I hear a car a-coming down the hill, and this time I aim to climb aboard when the city folk offer me a ride. I may not make it big, I may

Confliction

If I weren't the fool that I am, I would be nothing at all. I should've known much better Than to ever let myself fall For them, for her, for you. Now I've nothing to do, But wallow in my self-pity That I allowed this to happen Once again. New life, new city - Why not a new girl as well? It's my fault though, I can tell; I rushed, I opened up, I... I just wanted it so badly, I thought with my heart and not With my head. Now I'm sadly Just as alone as before. It's my fault, I've always wanted more Than anyone wanted from me. Go ahead and argue otherwise - Until you are going to be Someone special for me, I don't Want to he

If You Can't Stand The Heat...

My lips on your neck let me know Exactly how fast I can make Your heart beat. Feather-soft touch Accompanies my mouth on your skin In my explorations. I'll stake my claim On your uncharted lands; teeth marks Nipped across your collar bone, Kisses down your chest, your stomach, As hands wander different trails, Same bodyscape. I can feel heat Radiate from the wildfires I've stoked, Just like you can see the smoldering Within my eyes. Every gasp I make you take only serves to Send my flames burning higher From your oxygen. I need you To need me to want you, and trust me - I do.

Now Connected To Network

I hear your laugh flit across the airwaves Into my heart, despite the distortion Caused by cheap wires and cheaper plastic. And I smile like the idiot that I am, Thrilled to know I was The source of such a sound. Static may break us up, But it will never break us apart. You make faces across data streams As you talk to me, while flickers of snow Fall across my low resolution screen. I love that you don't even notice, Just as I don't realize when I Gesture to objects out of frame. Pixelation just means You're even more perfect in reality. We fit together across wireless signals; We may be separated by miles, But my heart bea

Can You Hear Me?

I could swear I heard your voice Calling out to me from beyond the grave, Soft and loving as always, and yet Disconcertingly sad. You told me your hopes Now shattered, your wishes Now unfulfilled, your dreams Now broken. Try as I might To comfort you, our embrace Dissipated like mist in the air. Your sorrow at your loss evident, All I wanted was to tell you "Everything will be okay again," But my words, you could not hear them. I knew nothing would last forever, I just never knew how you Would be taken from me So tragically. I try to forget you And I try to let you rest in peace; It's so hard though when you Keep visitin

Pen And Paper

She looked at the envelope again, Though the return address was already Emblazoned in her mind. She wanted - No, needed - More than what ink on paper could give. His name was dying to be spoken, But when she tried, her mouth ran dry And she had to choke back tears Along with the words. She didn't know if he'd come back, Despite his promises. Her forefinger mindlessly traced over The scrawled handwriting, while her mind Traced the contours of his face - Not sharp, not chiseled, not perfect, just so very... Him. A sigh as the chair scraped against the tile, Then the letter went back in the envelope, The envelope back in the
