Hearts of Blue Lead Back to You
The blue sky
A hundred faces in this world
But only a few reminded me of yours
The sink chokes while I fix my collar in the mirror
This is my private life, like yours but different
Your pictures and posts cut at the electric wire
That zaps and strangles my heart
Your tears are cropped out by a freshly painted frame
And I see the timeline of when you were just a ghost
In the seat beside me
The door bell rings and someone walks in
Faceless and jewelry adorned
Asks if I have a boyfriend
Asks what I do in school all day
Asks me things I can’t seem to remember
The doorbell rings, someone walks in
This time it’s you
And you don’t have to ask because you already know
Because my eyes tell it all
My dreams unfold right on the dinning room table
And I’m not afraid anymore because I know my tears are in your heart
-Now I’m alone, the lamp flickers with mosquitoes
And your pulse is somewhere across those endless moonlit fields
I thought I was drowning last night
But then I saw your face underneath
The foaming currents
Deep down in the place where it’s peaceful and green
And you’re smiling and grabbing for my hands
And just when we touch a black ink squirts through my brain
When I wake up you know my mind
I don’t have to find you because your lying right next to me
Right up in that great garden in the sky
