run where you'll be safe...

another year older, another grain of sand in the hourglass.
had nightmares last night like i haven't in a while
the kind that wake you up breathing fast, heart racing
cartoons in the morning dull the fear
bestfriends still asleep next to us
breathing like babies, made of sunshine and rainbows
i fell in love with sunsets, the sunrise has nothing on them.

my records keep skipping

belief isn't enough to hold me here
anchored
can't wait, can't stay calm enough to use logic
tension in my shoulders, back, every part down to my toes
sooner rather than later would be nice
kisses on the necks of bestfriends, exfriends to the end, better off as lovers
i need someone(something) to have faith in, for once.

the taste of ink is getting old

late nights and early mornings,
steam from your coffee curling into the air
wishes on starts and satellites around your sun
nothing but music from now till sunrise
seconds tick to the next star over
covers and sheets,
pillows and heavy hearts
i wish i could know you like i know the inside of my head.
