huzah?..

wrote a new poem this morning. Its about closure. I kinda like it. Inspired by the new death cab for cutie album, which incidently is amazing.

anyways, let me know. I cant really say its about anything in particular, because its not. I think I just have a hard time with closure , in general.


I learned about your eyes on the morning news
piercing with humble beauty
I stumbled about to remember myself
But was caught gazing at the screen.

I heard your voice carry across the room
soothing with melodic bliss
I tried so hard to hear what you used to say
I wish I could remember what you said
when I asked you to stay

The weather report told me it was fall
when all good things huddle close for warmth
Your touch was always so soothing
But I am caught trying to recreate
Thoughts of you in everyone else

My hearts a rowboat, floating in a lake
surrounded by every reason to stay afloat
gazing outward at beauty in every direction
Trying to ignore the hole filling with water
While reliving your every smile
One for every day I held you
And another for every hour you were mine

I'm holding the remote
knowing one day ill be watching another show
remembering another pair of eyes
that will look back at me
There is no comfort in images given freely
but earned through tears once fallen

Maybe when im no longer holding the remote
And dust has collected on a screen once so clear
Maybe when im far from the comforter
that used to wrap us up so dear
Maybe when our love is no longer tainted
Maybe when our hearts are clean
Then maybe I can learn all over again
Why you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen
