~Pennies~

You are

my handbag of choice,

I promise

That was

the moment

I knew I had

to let go

and trust

in the future

It’s all

Done and dusted

Now

it was aching,

Missing

you wanted

the rainbow

but you

got the rain

This life

is a ghost

of you

I’ll see you

before I fall

Asleep

Find answers

In the

Pouring rain

The only thing

riskier

is not taking

any risk at all
You’re clutching

at straws

Sky was

broken

I had to

wake up

my heart

is aching

For you

honey,

it was

aching

Being mysterious

suits you

words that

melt in

your hand

daisy chains

soft touches
Everything slow

I will map you out
And reveal your secrets

I just want to

Be alive

While I’m still here

Where did

the time go?

Oh one day

follows the next day

and it catches up

I don’t know

If it was rest

Or something else

Don’t want

to go to sleep

don’t want

to shut

my eyes

The way

it’s settled

softly on

your skin

As much

as we want to

there’s nothing

we can do

and that’s the hardest part

You’re

The fire

And the flood

I don’t know

My heart

Stumbles on things

I don’t know

Awake my soul

I look up from

my pillow

when i go

to sleep

I imagine you’re

there with me

Each tear

that flows

from my eyes

brings memories

of you

When morning

comes again

I have the loneliness

you left me

Each day

day drags

by until time

finally descends

on me

I found shelter

in your

undercover hideaway
There’s no

gravity to hold

me down for real

I can’t say

Anything

it's more than

my bits are worth
Yes, the world

can be a very small place

You know

the person who said

good thing’s come

to those who wait

is probably still waiting

Some trips

become stumbles

the trick is to stay

on your feet

You drink

with your eyes

before your mouth
Don’t want

to go to sleep

don’t want to shut my eyes

Pennies in a jar

What is

It being saved for?

Give me something

To believe

What I’m waiting for

Might already be done
