Memories

Exploding Fairytale

The canvas' faded stares are reflections of her dreams
Colors blue, with warm hues wanting to be seen
Overflowing life-line rivers flood her hands
With strokes of fate and streaks of faith
She questions everything

I just want to know her
I just want to show her how to process all the sunlight
So everyone can breathe

What color will I be
Is reflecting me as easy
Let's get your mess all over me and rub it in

And I can't stop this from happening
Realize that the picture once drawn could be the same
If we stay in this together
There's only one way
Your love once lost is forever the love I'll give

Find what you lost in my eyes
Find what you need in my smile
Rediscover sanity held by a dreamless night
When our souls start moving faster than our lives
We'll hitch a ride on a fairytale and sail away

I just want to know her
I just want to hold her as we peel away the world
And whisk in fantasy

Disorganized and lovely
Refreshing fire glowing
This fairytale is exploding all over you
All over me

And I can't stop this from happening
Realize that the picture once torn will mend
If we stay in this together
There's only one way
Your love once lost is forever my love to give

I wish you could know me without words...
That my eyes might show you something so unfamiliar,
To make passion and curiosity plow wall to wall, clearing a path for comfort.
That a moment's touch could make your past seem misplaced.
That control wasn't lurking in the shadows.
That being myself is enough.

I lock myself in a room with these feelings,
until the rational suffocates the irrational.
as i rise to my feet to unlock the door,
i slip and hit my head on the tear drenched floor.
my dreams are where i thrive.
in my dreams i hope to die.
in my dreams are where you and I can be.
where we can be...

The sun rises from your parted lips.
A delicate breeze,
Warmed by the sun,
Joins your breath for a graceful dance on the contours of my face.

Though admonished against it,
My eyes remain open.
Darkness has no place between yours and mine.
To be blinded by beauty is something divine.

If the earth stopped spinning,
If the universe stopped expanding,
If time stood still,
I would tie myself to a silent moment with you.
Never to worry about the future,
And forever thankful that the past has brought us here.

those who say they need nothing, need the most.
if only she realized...

when she looks at me i am amazed and frightened all at once.
of anything in the world, it is me upon which her eyes gaze.
i know soon they must leave, for she is a wanderer, or so she says.

but, what does she seek?
i could ask the same of the ball on a roulette wheel.
it searches as well, and just as deliberate.
but, before settling, it's sure to bounce.
the number is unknown.

i'm fucking scared!
i'm pissed at myself for being so weak, so fast.
i don't know how much to risk.
i don't know if i'm realistic.
i don't feel like a man.
i don't have the energy to be poetic.

those who aren't afraid to admit they're weak, are the strongest.
if only i realized...

whatever...
