Got your message
In a bottle
Tonight
Upon my shores
You washed up
Too bad I can’t
Drink away this pain
In a bottle
Or wash
Away the stains
Of the model
We have left
On the walls of
Our hearts
Tonight
Once again
Together we bleed
Oh feed the words
That sting
My outlet
You surge
Telling me of all the
Things I did wrong
& didn’t do this
& didn’t do that
You would think
I was hired to rebuild
A company or something
Expectation as high
As the empire state building
I thought our love
Was the entire state
Building of
A beautiful life
Travel, prayer
Sex, the knife
& the peach
Slicing, eating
Away at the beach
Enjoying our Sundays
Through Tuesday
From February to June
We tasted love
& we boomed
& we bloomed
But were cut too short
Maybe my selfish ways
Too short of time apart
I think it was emotionally
Distant what you called it
Guilty as charged
For everyday I learn
To be more humble
Over spilt words
& hurt feelings
I stumble
Vulnerable & it’s scary
To let little kids in
& play in a house
Made of china
Why you wanna
Whine ya, never very good
At it, just love me
Like you used to
I am grateful for you
Why don’t you just
Stop degrading me
Oh honey please
Stop the anger
& re orchestrating the past
Like chairs in the living room
The shadows cast
It can’t be moved
Just viewed from different
Angles & I choose
The one of peace
& of pleasantries
Love, oceans
& the trees
We swayed & swung
Nineteen ninety one
My love
My pretend wife
The softest love
Of my life
I remember the taste
Of your mouth
Of your ears
Taught so much
My sweet hunted deer
Now run & play
Before you
Start to really
Piss me off
