Halcyonic Lachrymose

2/28/2012

Unrealized dreams
        Feel like a kind of death
Just
Adapt Adapt Adapt
               To fit in with the rest

Keep setting your eyes on forever to find it’s
    Only tomorrow
Is life but a dream
Or a series of failed attempts at forgetting
Sorrow?


Hide your eyes.
Hide your eyes.
keep them hidden from the rest
My grey thoughts drip with fervor and unrest
And cold and broken
Hallelujahs and sighs suppressed

I’m a trembling contradiction who’s
Forever romantically hopeless
These trees are all tragic now -
The flowers seem useless

Maybe these affairs of the heart
Are really just illusions
This talk of true connection all a beautiful delusion
    To teach us a lesson
                       fool us into fusion
they say it’s how we grow
Through bereavement and confusion

So it doesn’t really matter
Just remember it, move on
And take whatever you can
From the sweet-bitter song…

Still I find it so strange how things really happen like that
With the grab of and kissing on the palm of a hand
And it all changes just as fast
Like a quicksand trance
    Or gypsy dance
‘til you’re wildly spinning and
widely grinning

       always when you couldn’t be happier
finally ready for something to last
   it ends
So suddenly
now in the past,
Over before it began
    like Sunrise overcast
