Astronaut

he was a boy who never left the earth

they were so close, he would lay by trees

never wanting to ventured out to the atmosphere

talking about the day till the sun went away

he would say goodnight, go home and sleep tight

tonight his eyes, they wouldn't keep shut

he grabbed a blanket and stepped outside

his body wrapped tight, earth held him close

starlight soothed his soul falling into dream

he said goodnight, whispered sleep tight

when he rose to his surprise, earth slept sound

looking to the sky, painted black by night

one of the stars seemed to real

he climb up the tree to find what more he could see

as he reached, she began to fall

atop the tree he jumped knowing earth would catch

the boy's foot left the branch, fingers began to glow

she fell right into his arms, not any further.

she looked into him, with a smile

he felt his body radiate and burn

the hardest part was getting back up

he walked her home back in the night

she kissed him and asked him to stay

holding hands, burning bright

they turned around and welcome the new day

role model

what do i see, when i look into your glowing eyes?

stars beyond the horizon, further then anyone ventured

what do i feel, when i hold tight to your magnetic hands?

a sense of love too great from one person, something to share

what do i hear, when i listen to your voice sing words into song

a plan to wrap my heart tightly so i'll never go

you gave me a hope without trying.

another reason to keep beating my heart.

what do you see?

what do you feel?

what do you hear?

wounded

see these scars on arms

names that were once stars

let me heal them to clean slates

to take the past off your hands

these names mean nothing to me

these cuts aren't too deep for me

see these scars fade to faint

weak from our surreal dreams

and make believe

take my hand

i'll take to never never land

where we'll never grow up

where we'll never have to endure

the pain of our scars

A Day at the Races

let me catch my breath

you got me running wild

i'm so out of shape

like a heart shaped leaf

for you

let me calm my heart

it beats in a panic

like you cut into me

let me spill all my love

for you

forget our maps

let's get lost in a good way

hand in hand

and never cross the finish line

_________________________

until you tell me

the dark held me close and nothing happened

nothing at all

for few seconds, precious seconds i didn't exist

just my thoughts

i escaped everything as much i could

there isn't light in my tunnel

not anymore

in this burrow my memories attack my lost mind

regrets i hide from confront me

their arms wrap around what could be a body

it's not just me anymore

i am many

past, present, and future

people, everyday, live and die

some days i wish i was like them.

outside...
