the fog no longer seems so spiteful to me

(the water runs clear)

washed away years of sadness and old scars
this morning i made a vow
(i promise to stand by it)
i don't want these anymore
YOU ARE ALL I WANT
   all i could ever need
i couldn't ask to be happier
there's a warm feeling deep in the pit of me
(with you i am complete)
the water finally runs clear

something torn apart
quickly sewn back together
making things happening
breath in everything
how does it feel?
it feels like free...

how can i say you?
the words just can't come out
staring directly at it for a short time
was all i needed to know
how do i feel?
i feel like me...

cold heart quickly turned to fire
if only i could find a way to say...

(thank you)

i can see the moon from behind these tears
with one small glance i can view the years
something holds me back as my body tries to shake
i keep in mind that these memories form a lake
the deep end i steer clear of, for the depth will draw me in
i try not to look out there, the sun will be too dim
everything has broke itself into lies
all that i have trust in, it never seems to hide
empty words with no meaning or thought
have formed this mind i work with, the meaning i have sought
my tears have begun to fade, i see the brightness more clearly
with my caution i approach, it has got to be too early
for padraic                           11*25*02

pieces of me inside pieces of you
don't feel neglected
(not anymore)

we haven't seen ourselves so right

finally not misplaced
word of the moment seems to be content-
      -ly wrapped up in your arms and never leaving

i can't imagine me not you
me not pieced together by you

my seams have been sewn shut
you're not going anywhere now
inside my stitches
under my skin
(you're there)

and i won't let you go

tonight i realized while driving home
that when it rains and you drive
the world looks like it does through tear soaked eyes
and it made me cry even more
knwoing that ever rain drop that was falling before me
had fallen once before
perhaps upon the heavy head of a heartbroken teenager
or in the ditch of a dead body's grave
and in the same cycle....it falls again and again
and waits to be sucked back up into the atmosphere
(nothin is ever new anymore)
as i stepped out of the car
the memories of so many lives before fell on my head
soaked my shoulders
and provided for the puddle i stepped in

tomorrow when (if) i wake
the streets could be covered in snow
all those memories and times in life frozen
only to melt away and finally leave
and it feels like everyone has begun again

i wish for all of the people starving (whether intentionally or not)
to regain strength
i wish for every victim (seems we all are, these days)
to finally recover
and i wish i could make it all okay again
for everyone
my blanket                              ???

where to start, where to start. i never usually feel this way, a moment of spontinaity lets for some unexpected things to happen. well, i guess that it means, huh? well no one really cares so maybe for once i should stop talking and just let things happen. how do you do that? i don't think that's ever happened to me so where do i start? i need someone to tell me i'm ok, i need something to happen to let me know i'm not losing my mind. but no one has ever helped me like that. when i find peace in something i'll wrap it arouns me so tightly that all i will ever feel within myself is peace...i think i need that. i need something but i need to find it. it will be my blanket.
