Dear Heart

Dear Heart
I've always wanted you the most
Looking in places I could never find
How could it ever be anywhere

Right now
Maybe you will hear me
searching among the shattered ice
Just in case I dropped it here

It's Me
a teardrop from heaven
crystalized into an ornament
to comfort the silent

Calling You
singing to the muffled masses
pointed always north
stars instead of eyes

Hello
My own feelings overwhelm
this simplistic directive
to be at least in proximity

But Here
I was searching for you
in the soul that cancelled me out
there can be no claim to love

At home
wherever that might be
crayoned people big as houses
The sun, the tree, and the smoke

Drifting
Falling into these waves
crashing into the grey water
Sinking further and further

Away
How do I hold onto faith
when I can't even touch you
Are we that forsaken?

That's Right
uh-huh
Sorry
O K

Oh, Bye
Every single time
I have tried to explain this mess
you shove me off the line

Tell me
what is it you have to say
'cause this is too much to bare
all by my lonesome

Say It
I just wanna be better
Wrongs must be pointed out
in order to set things right

Those words
begging for a listener
always being seen not heard
and to this day, never understood

Your Voice
keeps me company
in the dark dank alley
While I am always alone

Show Tune
you're such a good boy
Sharing an expansive love
Everywhere I've never been

Tell me
Have I been a bad girl?
That you can't even take a moment
to show me how special I am?

You're Right
I shouldn't be worried about that
When the game's afoot
I have something to do

Dear Heart
I thought I put you in him
But I think he'd be feeling by now
So where do I look?

True Love
My very own devotion
The only thing I ever needed
Where are you now?
