SWERVE
Driving backwards in a cul-de-sac
How can we get anywhere going in circles?
Your hand reaches for the back of my neck
You laugh a little, and I scrape the curb
You said “if you stay in your lane, I’ll stay in mine”
As your head rests on my thigh
You said “if you stay in your lane, I’ll stay in mine”
Your hand sails through the wind with rise and decline
I want to move forward, but the pattern’s ardy locked
So I open my windows and inch my hand closer
Your eyes are reaching for the back of my throat
If you can drive in such a straight line then why did you swerve?

TURQUOISE SUMMER
My head passes through my pillow, sinks down into another plane
And I erase all the times you were ripped from me
Close my eyes and I roll to the side
To live a lifetime in The span of just one night
My body lifts, I start to hover
I've found a way back, to our turquoise summer
My cheeks are faded in the sunlight, I daydream of the flush of turquoise nights
In a glimpse of a past life…

CLOSER
Try to build another world from the outside
I make your body move a little closer with my mind
I’ve tried living in purgatory
So what if I cried on this anniversary
We establish rules
We set a boundary
But no set of rules
Can legislate entropy
The longing I feel
To reduce complexity
Oh the memory
Of this anniversary
My face pressed against the carpet , but I feel fine
Been counting every passing day till the deadline

EMBRACE
It’s a plead that hides behind another weak punchline
No cause for a smirk, just concern in her eyes
No edges left unfrayed, as turquoise fades to gray
I can't recall a time before i felt this way
I feel you reaching like an old friend from the past
I’ve been there before, and I’m never going back
Your haunting, howling sigh beckons me into the night
Hisses on the wind, I seal my windows tight
If I slip into your arms, I stumble to my grave
I could never tell if your grip was an embrace

HEADLIGHTS PASS
A tether is keeping us together
Your voice, your eyes
Its best to leave with no goodbyes
Forget it, I wish I’d never said it
You crack a joke to ease the tension
I knew that I’d regret it
One more day until I leave
I feel I can hardly breathe
Until the headlights pass
If I was younger I wouldn't hold on any longer
Leave no trace
And block your number just in case
But I figured that if I let it linger
You might just make a good decision
But I just wound up bitter
