what i should've said

as the forest freezes the pine boughs, a whisper creeps through the pillars of wood, hunting the thin air. Anxious glances on the heels of thieves, and the wordspit congeals weighing the tongue down, it falls ever so quiet, like a glenn echo.
flesh on my bones say
love you
i wish to know if
you do
love you
let me
love you

and when you wake, your hair looks so good
it ruffled up, it looks perfect to me
your a wild woman, with me under your wing
sleeping peacefully, I just can't help but sing
and when you cry, your eyes look so good
they're sparkling green, they look pristine to me
lock eyes with mine, it's like I'm hypnotized
see through my soul,I'm just a traveling ghost
why waste your time on someone, like me
I'll hang right there upon the wall, like an old painting
so switch me out whenever you want, I don't mind
forget my name and then my face
and when you sing, I hold my breathe
can't help but gasp, and feel it cut through me
it seems you float, this angel don't need wings
but please don't stop, or I think that I might die
but I see the light

there was a woman, that I loved, long ago
she left my heart on the side of the road
she held it lightly, and let it grow, until the day
that she left it on the side of the road
I took up drinking, on my own, until I'm numb
feel my worries climb back down
I've wavered far, away from you, and myself to
I don't know where is my home
whiskey, wine, are companions
and no one else
all I can do, is think about you
I got no money and no one, to help me out
and you can find me on the side of the road

in spite of everything
which breathes and moves, since Doom
(with white longest hands
neatening each crease)
will smooth entirely our minds
-before leaving my room
I turn, and(stooping
through the morning) kiss
this pillow, dear
where our heads lived and were.

woke up this morning, without any breathe
my body'd been sucked to the bone
I know, I know what had caused this death
my fever for you had been on
as I lay struggling to yell out
a thought been prescribed in my brain
I know, I know there's no reason to shout
I just lay there and welcome the pain
some say there's heaven and some say there's hell
but the latter is all that I've known
so please, help me, go rest and be well
think nothing about that I've gone
woke up this morning, without any breathe
my body'd been sucked to the bone
they all, don't know the secrets I've kept
hidden deep within my lonely soul

trees don't mind if they sleep all day, do they?
but me, I find it too easy to waste my precious little life
wriggling rebirth, fresh from the womb of Earth, stealing sun and air and life from bitter Father winter. like a chick's head cracking shell, the early buds gasp the first breath of thick, dank life. hope creeps in again; seeps in again, through the ears and nose. wet and wild, the forest has become, a murk where the echo falters, short of its rebound. spring's litany settles into the glen.
I feel just like I'm a worm, buried too deep
in my mind, and lately I can't find the roots of
sunshine above
or at least, what makes people smile anymore
