Disenchanted

A textbook taught you young dear friend
Each day would turn to night
That with each darkening window pane
Heavy hearts turn feather light

A moment came and gone too soon
Like more than you could bear
A spirit lingering in a moonlit corner
With a calm impetuous stare

A staggeringly tall moon
Hovering long beside his star
Hopelessly tangled in a heavy light
You wandered just one step too far

The disenchanted idealist
The irony wouldn't let you go
Now the sky makes a mockery of you
And the night owl is laughing low

Temptation sits beside me.


Resistance argues back.

I can't help but glance over at them gleaming in the moonlight.

Desire is dangerous.
Attraction is obvious.

A violent opposition.



Damn this bowl of peanut butter m&m's...

Bedside Love.


I won't keep myself around just to keep you warm. 

A Smiths Album

It's somewhere I wish I wouldn't remember tomorrow
If the better half is the journey itself.
I would've never thought to beg or borrow
It's a Smiths album lonely on the shelf.

It's the thunderstorm I told myself to forget
A flowerless field I wouldn't walk.
Like rolling a hill in a white shirt you'll regret
Or a hand stuck in the heart of a clock.
