just me and you -
Let’s find our way through the deepest darkest woods together,
just me and you -
Let’s drive to the ends of the earth together,
just me and you -
Let’s remain together forever,
just me and you.

being run down and unenthused -
I’m sick of the daily grind,
and I’m stick of these stinky shoes -
My pockets hang heavy and empty,
in trousers near thread bare and old -
I need to work to survive,
but I don’t wanna do as I’m told.

In the soft fresh wind of the autumn day dawning.

as we wait for the train that’ll take us to our next destination -
On hitting the streets the air smells of Parisian bliss,
we knowingly start to make our way, now that we’re well seasoned tourists -
On seeing the sights that we’ve seen countless times before,
we stroll around the city we’ve now come to love and adore -
Walking through a park under the autumn filled trees,
we stop to take it all in, resting in a typically french brassiere.

the day that you draw your final breath -
I hope you lived to be your best,
have no regrets on the day you draw your final breath.

Every minute the clock passes by sounds like a hammer pounding on steel,
every tick, every tock, time goes by so very slow -
Thoughts of everything pass through my mind as i lay here in a state of restless and irritable lumber,
Counting sheep does not help me to sleep as i always get stuck on the same god damned number.

when 24 hours ago we were on a beach alone -
Enjoying the sun and the beautiful sky,
lazy in the surf we watched the clouds roll by.

Feeling helpless to cease the flow, i learn to breathe under the surface.

Grief caused by a loved one lost, a blossoming romance that withered and died -
Hasn’t everybody at least once thought about suicide?
I told you i hadn’t, but i lied.

tears brake the surface -
Water filling lungs, in sleep I find serenity,
I mourn your passing, I miss you.
