Suitcase

Can i crawl inside your suitcase?
If i squeeze tight just enough?
Can you pack me in your bag?
And zip me right up?
For i am ready to see the world
If only by your side
And i’ll be lonely
Pretty baby
If you fly without me tonight

Sometimes it strikes me.

Walking against the rain, the drops seemed to penetrate her skin. They sank into her blood, running cold. Wet hair plasters to her face and she bites her lip. There’s a figure up the road, headed her way. She prays that they can’t distinguish the tears from the rain. Hopefully, the red-rimmed eyes won’t give her away. Glancing upwards, she thanks God for the disguise. {gray skies} Fingers stretching at his side, he mechanically picks up one foot and puts it in front of the other. Just keep walking. He wishes he could find her. He’s been looking for hours in the rain. He knew she’d be crying today. Wiping the water film from his eyelashes, he blinks. A figure is coming toward him. Same height. Hair color? Check. Defeated posture? Yes. It’s her. {heavy clouds} A groan breaks through her clogged throat. The deepest sound of defeat. Her limbs shake. Her muscles refuse to respond to her brain. She keeps walking forward. “Turn around, run” she thinks. Funny how her muscles seem oblivious to her pointed command. The teeth sink even further into her bottom lip. Metallic taste. A new tear joins the downpour. {give in} He speeds up. He wills her to lift her chin and meet his eyes. He needs to see those eyes. Desperation. His legs make jerky movements as they attempt to transition into his new preferred mode of transportation: run. Heart pumping, he prays that she’ll take him. oh he loves her. {rain} Don’t love me. She exudes this sentiment. she hopes it will make him turn around. but she knows it won’t. she know’s he won’t. she falls to her knees. it seems her brain has lost control over her body completely. malfunction. {breaking} he reaches her side as she is falling. He falls with her and wraps his arms around her. Or, he tries. But the pieces are so small. He gasps and feels his heart crumble at the edges. One heart. Breaking.

All Over Again

Tripping along
Heels pulled up over my head
And i'm falling in love
All over again
Dancing around
Arms spread wide
Just to catch the sun
All over again

Suddenly my world falls into place
And i can trace your fingerprints
All over my newly healed heart
Stronger than ever
My love for you is leaking from my every pore
Screamin', I love you

Laughing outloud
Head thrown back
I defy the black
All over again

Suddenly my world falls into place
And i can trace your fingerprints
All over my newly healed heart
Stronger than ever
My love for you is leaking from my every pore
Screamin', I love you

You're the only one who does this
The only one to make me crazy
Out of my mind with love
All over again.

my heart.

Close your eyes
Concentrate on the core, the very center of the hurt
Where does it lie?
"My Heart"
Obvious answer
Look again
Oh...
"Your Heart"

Trying to Let Go.

Romantic movies
Don't do me any good
When every hero has your eyes
And every good guy has that smile
The one that looks like your's
Reading books
Doesn't do me any good
When Darcy has your face
And Edward sounds like you
On every stinkin' page
Listening to music
Breaks my heart
When every song sings your name
And reminds me of that place
The place that only we know
Walking the streets
Of this city
Searching the faces for your's
I know you aren't here
Lying in bed
Slipping into dreams
Searching the faces for your's
I pray you aren't here
For i'm practicing obedience
Trying to let go.
