MY little BROWN BOOK

My New Girlfriend

There was danger in those dark cold nights

When you left me for your own bed

I was frantic inside but I let you leave

Thinking I liked being alone instead

So childlike was my psyche Girl

That I made castles with your goodbyes

And I filled the moat with honest tears

After I dug up my midnight cries

But all you know is that I look cool in gray

And all my haircuts are trimmed so tight

And I speak with a Hillsong confidence

Even when I'm wrong I sound so right

And I could hum you asleep or crack your lids

With righteous lips designed for love

I carry ghosts in my hugs that show up when

You leave me and Your push comes to shove

So I put a blade to my skin to bewitch the cold

Forever gazing at you, sweet cynosure

Deep drinking will surely steady my hand

How long can I be your meek sinecure

Dark is not a color but I scribble its hue

On matching t-shirts we'll never wear

Walked away from my bed with dramatic effect

My heart followed you but my body stayed there

If your were Wax I could burn you slow

If you were Ice I could turn you to snow

I'd keep your Frozen Ashes in an urn to show

My New Girlfriend how I learned to grow
