open up the dreams
you had once locked away
find love on the sidewalk
where the shadows like to play
these words are not ones of hope
nor are they words of fright
they are the words that lurk
in the corners of the summer night
where silver strings dance
with a whisper of song
in the light of the strawberry moon
i knew you were long gone
and i knew everything was wrong

I sat beside you on your bed
We whispered things
We wish we hadn’t said
My words bled
I now know I can’t trust my thoughts
They spread like wildfire once they’ve caught
I wish that they would stop
They keep my heart distraught
I know that there is hope for this too
Why did you leave so soon?
For a moment your heart was in bloom
I lost the rhythm of the days
The pace that kept the dark at bay
The meadow rue did sway
Beneath the sycamore in May
Down Cedar Lane my eyes did lay
Upon the words you’d never say
Oh, furrow deep my longing
By the morning you’ll be gone
Don’t go now
Will I see you again?
Don’t go now
I’ll find the words
To be a friend
Don’t go now
Wish for a different end
Don’t go now
I’ll find the words
To make amends

I’ll never forget your eyes
It wouldn’t be right
Counting stars as they whispered goodnight
Silver strings that tied your dreams to mine
The morning comes into view
And you leave with the moon
June read like a half-written poem
A love scattered and strewn
I’ll always be a regret,
A burdening sunset
You said I couldn’t make more of a mess
Than what’s already inside your head
I love you, for your words are a song
That say I could do no wrong
But you always look to the ground
Like the answer is written there somehow
The waves swept me away
When I couldn’t depart
From the love that choked
With hands swollen and red
Your ship sank my heart
Oh, how it tore me apart
A forest fire started by a spark

Someday
We will sail across
Find the moments lost
Dissolve beyond me
Darling
You’re the ghost of my dreams
And I need to confront you
For you haunt my heart deep
Somehow
These stars intertwined
We would be strangers
Tangled still in separate lives
Adrift
Among the radio waves
Dancing tired in the deep blue
A moment lost in your gaze
I sold myself
To the strawberry moon
Bought silver strings
To tie myself to you
But they fell apart
With each tired minute
You were there
And then you disappeared
How is it
That you make my heart twist
When I know
You don’t really exist
