Long NIght's Moon

I've never known
Where we're going
Down to you
But please remember
We see the same moon
You've never seen
The times where
My heart was most untrue
But don't forget
I know yours was too
Well I'm trying to find
Someone worth my time
As cold and warm inside
Now distance between us
And no reason to trust
In the evenings blanket night
As the moon's light shines
We've always grown
From youthful pictures
Too full adults
With problems that
Seem as real as ghosts
Well I'm trying to find
Someone worth my time
As cold and warm inside
Now distance between us
And no reason to trust
In the evenings blanket night
As the moon's light shines

First time I met you was when you dyed your hair
I'd seen your image on the wall where I stared
Doing that made me feel very meek
With all the shouting in my head
Helped with this streak
We sat on a park bench meant for two
As we were watching two frogs
Playing around
Next to me and you
The games seem so dumb
Moving our hands
Just to pretend we could be other creatures
Instead
Your confidence exudes the hindsight of youth
But so is my will to get to the truth
Didn't know your name
Nor you did mine
But we've seen this from time till time
We sat on a park bench meant for two
As we remembered a musical
We both loved
And danced too
The games seem so dumb
Moving our hands
Just to pretend we could be other creatures
Instead
We sat on a park bench
We sat on a park bench
We sat on a park bench
We sat on a park bench meant for not just one but two
It was for me and you

I am a polymath lover
Who could annoy you
Like no other
While I'm reading and singing and dreaming
By the end of the summer
It's not the best of notions
But I've been known for my different devotions
Of alchemy, astronomy, and chemistry
To understand the numbers
I switch love languages often
I'll be blabbing till I'm asleep with nothing
I know I can be a real jerk
But can you humor me by viewing this artwork
It's about the music, altruistic, idealistic ways of living
Is the conversation going nowhere
Because I've got a lot before tomorrow's affairs
To be resonant, reliant, compliant for my class tomorrow
I'll ponder the concept of existence
But I can't pay for my own apartment
After this time together
Could you have wished for anyone better
Wait now your leaving, and I'm screaming for regretting
To speak of others
So now I'm left with commotion
Thinking over my random devotions
To subjects, objects, and artifacts
With no meaning
I'll never learn my lesson
Because I'm a slave to contradictions

Her Hands
03:33

She was young and her hands always bled
With piercing pain she needed to tread
Broken bandages covered in skin
As she grew up
Her fortunes began to change
Glistened in compliments for her to engage
Regardless of her hands
To love her was to
sacrifice your self sorrow
As soon as she was ready
She'd be gone
Tomorrow
Off to the great east
And she dreamed of dancers both young and far
For they were from different lands
You couldn't get to in a car
And as the season changed and past
She took on new friends
Giving her the convos
I never grasped
Now I never meant to change her mind
That would be blasphemous
For both her
And I
Without even a try
The distance craved was finally met
With both parties happy
With love
And no regrets
I'm sure she has long forgotten about her hands
I knew she could do it
With or without
The help of my
