Growing distance maims
My hollowing heart without
You filling me up

inI’ve got a heart that beats
But it’s making a mess
A red pool growing bigger in time
It’s the beat of our song
That love pours forth
Red drips on the page
Our story forever alive
Part of our hearts and in the books
You patch me up
I wait to heal
Your love is a band-aid
A mere temporary seal
Love stabs, love wounds
But the blood keeps pumping
Through my body and through that hole
Yet I’m still alive
These words make scabs
Flesh covering flesh again
To keep myself whole
Where a scar remains
Love scars, never gone
For once united, always a part
A dead X marks the spot
Of a buried seed, growing inward
You patch me up
I wait to heal
Your love is a band-aid
A mere temporary seal
Love stabs, love wounds
But the blood keeps pumping
Through my body and through that hole
Yet I’m still alive
Cage behind heartstrings
Our love stays captive
Two hearts together
Separated in new reality
Arms outstretched we see
A new embrace outside
That hugs the free
And the chamber stays deep
You patch me up
I wait to heal
Your love is a band-aid
A mere temporary seal
Love stabs, love wounds
But the blood keeps pumping
Through my body and through that hole
Yet I’m still alive

I wake from a dream,
A place where you’re with me,
With an empty seat now beside
I must wait to see
If our waking hours
Open our eyes to
Our story forever realizing
All our life will be
Though it may come
At a greater upfront fee
The choices honors the miraculous
I confessed missing you
As big as the sky
When you first asked nervously
Riding that discovered high
Now we coast the clouds
In vessels we don’t fly
Can you feel it too
That ache too thorough to deny
The hesitancy a sting that relieves
In love we can still purify
When you come back home

The chemistry changes
When one’s removed
A unity rearranged
My charge runs high on low
Without you to offset
The electricity runs wild inside
It’s more than I’ve let
Send my heart into overdrive
The rain outside pours
Ever since you left
Washing over our mores
Hope for separate worlds
If only water reached
The desert’s dry land
That sand where you beached
Cowardly retreat across the ocean
Meanwhile rain falls
Straight into my chest
Dripping down the walls
The initial shock knocks back
Once again it changes
The shape of my heart
A spot for you arranges
Leaving the rest whole again

How can a teddy
Remind me of you
When I bought it
And the one for you
I hug the dream
All the way through
Only waking up not
Knowing what to do
You’re not here
It’s a bear in lieu
A placeholder for words
You know it’s true
I go to sleep
In a deep, silent blue
The animal I cling
Gives the comfort due
Unreturned whispers echo
Nothing back, nothing new
The blanketed truth
Not changing my view
In body and spirit
I’m without you
I wait endlessly for
That gold from you
Knowing it’s not you

Missing that guy who
Never follows through for you
Loneliness keeps you

I look into the mirror
After the fog clears
I can’t see you
Through all my fears
I know you’re there
After it’s said and done
A crack splits us
No reflection as one
I hold it so tight
This vision inside
You staring back
Returning with the tide
Now it’s only me
When you don’t take time
To cherish this love
Worth more than a dime
All I feel is alone
When you say nothing at all
How can you not know
Without words I fall?
I have my one request
That you’ve let slip
So I’ll stop asking
And save this service of lip
