Life seems so simple here
I wish that I could stay
Breathe fresh air
Without a care
As my anxiety floats away
And yet, I know,
To reality
I must very soon return
Leaving behind
My peace of mind
In exchange
For misery and concern
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Life seems so simple here
I wish that I could stay
Breathe fresh air
Without a care
As my anxiety floats away
And yet, I know,
To reality
I must very soon return
Leaving behind
My peace of mind
In exchange
For misery and concern
As the juice
Runs down
My fingers
Those feelings
Diffuse
Yet the malady
Lingers
You said it was summer
He said
But all I’ve seen
Is rain
Welcome to the North East
She said
Where two days
Are never the same
Not only
She said
Do I miss you
But on days
Like this
I miss me too
Of course
It’s raining
Outside
Just now
Why the fuck
Wouldn’t it be?
Because
I’ve come out
Without a coat
And the joke
Is always
On me
Yet as the sun came out
Last summer
The glue I’d used soon melted
So whatever I felt back then
Didn’t start a trend
Or conclude as well as projected
Out Of The Blue
I woke up with a smile
Today
All the bad feeling
Had gone away
It actually felt
Like it was the start
Of gluing back together
My broken heart
