Cherry Blossom Darling

the summer sank beneath the orange sky
the horizon could not lie
with arms outstretched in desperate pleading
with the falling sands of time
i still recall the way the leaves changed color that year
my heart bled yellow with fear
of dying alone
my cherry blossom darling
will never grow again
we held each other tightly
until the bitter end
i stood between the thorns that tore my clothes
with the sun a weary ghost
the light it shed upon my tired face
was cancerous at most
my arms have lost their needles
im no longer evergreen
im slipping from this world
and only living in dreams
my cherry blossom darling
will never grow again
we held each other tightly
until the bitter end
i wish that something would grow inside my bitter heart
but new england in winter is so cold
i wish that something would grow inside my bitter heart
but i've gotta learn to be alone

Letting Go

i kept following my heart
we were bound to fall apart
i want to sail away
you want to spend the day in my arms
i was always on your side
what were you trying to hide from my eyes
why do you look away
when i just want to see your sad eyes
one last cigarette and i will go to sleep
broken promises
i never said my heart was yours to keep
and im sifting through the wreckage that we made
in the graveyard from the poison that we drank
why is letting go so hard for you?
why is growing up so hard for you?

is this the last breath i will take now?
the light still burns my bloodshot eyes
each promise has an expiration
i think we've learned this lesson one too many times
because im sorry
that i loved you
before i was ready to
theres a million better ways now
the hindsight echoes in my mind
but i cant go back and replace how
i could have said goodbye
because im sorry
that i loved you
before i was ready to
im sorry that i loved you

Brave

i look at old photographs
and i wonder where that happier version of myself went
that version of myself
that climbed skyscrapers
and kissed the ones i love
and the ones i didn't know i loved yet
when i was up there
i felt in that moment that i would always be okay
but soon after
the panic of being trapped in this burning photograph set in
ive learned not to open up my heart
stripped bare of nearly anything
i want to be the man that i used to be
i want to be brave again
i want to be the first stone on the beach that kisses the wave as it breaks
but right now i'm just trying to feel okay.
