arms crossed this mind tossed
for loss of cause and underlying moss
wide toothed abandon
it's thick with it
in places with windows stilted shut
a carpet covered wall hugs
your breath until it's gone
still words hang on and lose sound
in the sponge quick
he eyes her neck and is love sick

i could write with two loose cannons
but nothing is gained from this thunder
fallen, but not completely under
i've been off trail too long
and you'll be gone
if i've seen through
i wish i could forget you

i've echoed 'til there's no wonder
eyes parted ways and left me without solace
gone yellow in this haze of weeping
did i
smooth over love with lies

if this is love
i refuse to mix with it
