Hazel Valley Fever
This light begins heating
And worn now
Days wont bring back the subconscious feeling of love
To the foreground
Exhausted with wings
"What is the deadline?" She asked.
"It's troubling"
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
So when the night draws
The day is paint thinner
Psychosis pulls back your sugarcane arms
Away from made-dinner
The void is all clouds of star clusters
The smell of a vacant apartment
Swarovski encrusted space
And time follows the pattern of a Gucci belt in a glove-compartment
I never wanted to save you more than the time I finally fell
And I knew there was no you
Never to be again
To hold my hands or hold my head up and say “You’re my only friend”
My chin wasn’t high enough I guess
Pride drained as skin flushed
Something good please come
Up out the thin woods and thin brush
Episodes of laughter and happy eyes, and I miss you this much
And I picture this love, and I miss your holding, and I miss the way you said to keep my smile
The sway of your voice
To never be just the ‘old’ me
Be a polished boy with stone shoes and gold teeth
Always be grounded, sink your teeth into the dirt of the garden and spit out a mountain
But the walls are closing in
The floor is melting upward
as the ceiling drips down onto the tops of cupboards
Where have ya gone, I can’t see you through the flashes
Nor Brandy, or Missy or Maximillion
"What’s happening?"
All these friends stand around with their mouths hanging fish-hooks in either corner
Offering no support other than common-cold-related remedies
Inside a wicker basket
Saying a billion combinations of words already discovered
"It’s syntactic..."
“It’s tragic…”
"But I miss her"
“It’s tragic…”
