Shift

There was a shift
In your voice that day
And your eyes
They were never quite able
To meet mine

So when you told me
About him
And what you did
I wasn’t exactly surprised

There was a shift
In the way we spoke
Our words
Weren’t quite so warm
As they used to be

So when you told me
You never meant harm
And that you were sorry
I wasn’t exactly surprised

There was a shift
In the way we loved
For longer than I realized
Tender had become sterile
Touch had become avoidance

So when you told me
You wanted to make it right
I said it was too late
This story is done

A Different Life

In a different time
And in a different life
I could have loved you
Better than you’ve ever been

And maybe, just maybe
You could have loved me
The way I wish you did

But this isn’t a different time
And it isn’t a different life
This is now, this is here

And I will never know
What it could have been

Ashes on the Ground

Too filled with memories
Of love that never quite
Balanced out
Always loving someone
More than they deserved

Her heart was too big
For a world such as this
She never seemed to find
The kind of love she deserved

She grew weary
Of a heart always broken
So she pulled it out one day
She held it softly for a moment
Before she set it to flames

She walked away
Looking back only once
To see her heart was now
Nothing but
Ashes on the ground

Lost Somewhere Between Her Eyes and Her Lips

There is a certain gravity
A pull
Every time I look
Into her eyes

The world just seem to stop
Everything around me fades away
And my heart somehow manages
To both stop and beat harder

And then I see her lips
And I realize
That I will never be the same
A fundamental shift has occurred

All I can imagine
Is how it must feel
Those lips gently and tenderly
Wrapped up with mine

What it must be to get caught
In her beautiful gaze
Breathing her in
Before tasting her

And in those moments
When my heart
Both beats and doesn’t
I get utterly and completely lost
Somewhere between
Her eyes and her lips

Let You Drown

Yours was the hand
That beat me down
And now you reach out
Asking for help
And you sit there wondering
Why I am letting you drown

Yours was the hand
That knew how to abuse
And now you’re stuck
In a mess you made
And you can’t understand
Why it is that I refuse

Yours was the hand
That struck with a closed fist
And now you’re lost
Needing help to be found
And you seem confused
On why I would refuse

Yours was the hand
That struck me down
Now mine is the hand
That’s letting you drown
