drip

double-decker dreams
double-dutch teens
cracks in the concrete
earth's rugged seams

infinite playback
auto-tuned highjack
corrosion of the soul
spinning far off-track

silver-lined songbook
clean clothes lint shook
shiny diamond heartbeats
idle actions mistook

breath deep lungs crash
smoke clears from ash
lovely bloodflow
from her bright gash

space.

the farther

away

I get 

from

you

the more

i

love you. 

there

from 3000 miles away

i feel you

in all that i do

the thought of you 

rests gently on my mind 

i carry you 

in the den of my chest 

i don't show you off

your warmth just for me

because of you

i smile just a little bit wider

because of you

my eyes glow a little bit brighter 

because of you 

each step is a little bit lighter 

and if it weren't for you 

my heart would be

a whole lot colder

that's why i cherish you 

because i'll only grow older

and each day with you 

i feel a little bit younger
