Familiarity

One of the hardest things to get used to
is sleeping with a ghost
Scent permeates the pillowcase
and stray hairs become like treasure
"You have a god-sized hole in you"
She whispered with a smile
Now it shapes her
And the edges drip with guilt
With too much time in front
and always never enough
I submerge myself in fantasy
and wait for this dull ache to pass

Borrowed Words

Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I have been dreaming of?
What a place to come from.
You can call this what you want
But tell me what you're running from
And call me when you need me
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Cross the line, redefine
Let your mind come crawl inside
We don't need the day
We don't need the night
I don't want the birds let them fly away
I don't want the crowds they never seem to stay
Just hold on to what you believe, in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
So follow me down
Out of this town
You're moving way too slow
So follow me down
I'll show you around
There's a place we gotta go
Where maybe tonight we can forget about love
It can be just like heaven
And you can run out to the nearest girl
And comment on her glorious curls
Say darling come with me
I'll show you a whole new world
Time to escape
The clutches of a name
No this is not a game
It's just a new beginning
I don't believe in fate
But the bottom line,
It's time to play
You know you've got it coming
