When We Fall

Weirdly I feel better
Than I have in a long time
Maybe I emptied something out
Perhaps the sun was more about
Giving off more flares
Éruptions solaire
Let me tell you a story
About someone who had
Everything to give
But no one to receive it
If we teach love
We can change the world
Not hanging on so tightly
To what we don’t know
That is missing
But what is the world
For who am I to say
Without a fair amount
Of kissing
It doesn’t matter anyway
So much to live for
So much to love for
Nothing can take away
The ability to get back up
When we fall

To Give

I am a tortured soul
Like a cold sore
A cancerous mole
Walking a tightrope
Of death
And still I have so
Much life to live

I am what no one wants
I am what no one loves
Sent from up above
Glistening in a garden of
Broken glass and blood
Left over from
The steps I took to get
Closer to the core
Of myself
If it seems like I am
Pushing you away
It might just be that you
We’re never really here
Anyway

To sit next to or lie down with
A tortured soul
A burning cold sore
A cancerous mole
Walking the tightrope
Of my living death
Deceiving me
Though I still have yet-

So much breath
To breathe
So much life left
To conceive
So much more
To give
