Untitled

(This is untitled, for now).

I'm weightless

and drifting

through your

plane

Do you feel

my voice

when I call out

your name

I'm shifting

whenever I'm next

to you

Do you feel it

oh, do you feel it

too

I'm melting

whenever you touch

my skin

Open up 

your heart

and let me

sink in

Oh, what do you say

let's do it all today

We'll just move

everything

out of our

way

I'm moving

now that I'm

so close

to you

I know

you're moving

I feel it

when you

do

Making Ends Meet

She used to sell

just about everything

to make ends meet

The many things

we sat on

played with

ate from

and wore

All reminders

that nothing

is permanent

Nothing stays

the same

We'd watch our stuff

get picked over

We'd watch them

try to haggle her

but she never showed

desperation

You'd never see

the loss

in her eyes

as money

exchanged hands

And just like that . . .

ours became theirs

It's Cold Outside Tonight

I close my eyes

and watch the river

bend beneath

my feet

I hope and pray

that the homeless man

finds someplace

warm enough

to sleep

Because it's cold outside

tonight

and as the waves

wash through me

I still know 

what feels

wrong

and what feels

right

We hurt each other

out of selfishness

If only

we'd been taught

to follow our bliss

Then we'd find

our true road

to happiness

Oh, it's cold outside

tonight

Living in this world

shouldn't be

such a

fight

Because there's no one

winning

on either side

Oh, it's cold outside

tonight
