I'm A

lost star a soft heart a dusty mic
but
i won't give in to
falling apart or dropping guard there's lifting up there's counting fail
there are heart
stop
moments
there are take
it or
leave it
there's my breath
in the air
you can share you can share it
i'm a
coffee break room an upstairs closet
i'm a
"hold onto your hats boys" and the one who never lost it
but i
hold the handrail
just to
set an example
my fingerprints are staying here until the whole room disappears
so lets get cryptic
go to the attic
look up magic
in a patchwork blanket
but
don't get comfy
you could get a bed of nails
for the next twenty years
unless you beg for mercy

I Keep Waiting

"Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart"

Dreams keep seizing me, maybe it's the heat or the length of the bed
They stick around and leave deep impressions
I'm left wondering if they're signs or just shadows of the figures that walked around already
But no voices speak after waking and all that remains is a cord around my heart or a hand brushed across my own
--------------------------------

People want change, light, love
I see it amidst the gluttony and sex, I see it through loopholes
People want revolution
My seat is forward
I'm trying to light my lamp
