Swallow.

Here it come, that heavy love

When we're feeling adrift
Isn't it so funny we seek
A message in the bottle
That pleads S.O.S
With no expectation of a cure
That instead, all we ever wanted to know
Was that someone else felt the same

I know what you mean
You know what I mean
but two fists don't fit within a chest
so give up darling, let it go
We've only ever been the side effects
Of life's happiness.

little kite

remember when they found you crying with a string tied around your neck
and they didn't understand, cut the string and placed you in a white room and robe
when all you wanted was to fly like a kite in the wind that wouldn't carry you
remember how you couldn't find a hand so you tied yourself to a tree
and how that branch felt strong like you wish you could be
so you ran and ran and ran and leaped one leg before another
felt the wind rush into your face, air into your lungs
never knowing that even suspended in air, everything still touched you
made you realise your heart was in fact, vast not vacant
and the world contained no waiting rooms.
