The Woman in the Mirror
A woman in the mirror A man in the clouds A silent ballet, a circus with clowns She’s tired and honest She’s bargaining with herself He’s away and sane He’s working on himself The woman in the mirror Loves the man in the clouds too much -emc

Breakfast
Drought, in the shape of new sadness and chapped lips lost in green eyes. Wave by wave, a garden grew green vanquished me a new love to be seen Storms, hurricanes mud so thick flowers drowned, seeds washed away. Desolate, nothingness agony without you agony with you to understand it is to feel it Devour…

The Kiss
You grabbed my neck placing a long awaited kiss on my thirsty lips. It was your way of telling me you were parched, too. I’d love to feel your body wrapped around mine in the most innocent and most seductive ways again except I can’t tell you that You’re easy to get drunk off of,…

Cracked
Stupid of me to assume you’d fall for me when my heart is so broken even I gave up on the stitches. You’re like a first spring, as refreshing as warm air after icy winter winds kept me in the cold. For some reason I find you fascinating because you’re so sure of yourself and…
