dear heart,

you're such a fickle little thing.
always pushing me one way,
then the next,
then back the way we came because, after all,
it was safer there, wasn't it?


dear heart,

this has got to stop, my love.
we can't keep running circles this time
hoping we'll get tripped up in the right
direction.
we've got to move on.


dear heart,

didn't i tell you we couldn't take this?
i tried to warn you, darling,
really, i did.
you're only going to lead us into trouble.
let me take over for a bit.
i promise not to get us into too much trouble.


dear heart,

maybe we should just give up the whole thing
and go back to the time when boys had cooties
and teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle bandaids
were the only thing that made us feel good.
maybe we should just scrap all this heartache
and go back to the time when grasshoppers were the scariest thing out there
and we spray painted our pink Barbie house black
and the hardest part of the day was sitting out recess.
maybe we'll just let the lungs and blood vessels and
skin and brain and teeth and lips and hair
and eyes and collar bones and wingbones take over.
we'll just go along with the rest of them.


dear me,

well, look at where we're at.
silly us.
i guess we never learn.

----

the ghost of you
has almost faded now
you're drifting in and out
of my life
when leaves fall you'll come right back
'cause i was yours for a little while

you will always be
a ghost who lives and breathes
and you lay me down in reverie
every tear that falls
remember me

and i thought i heard your haunting sigh
like your love for me,
you said it will never die
but i've grown accustomed to your long good-bye
i wish you were mine,
hey, wish you were mine

you will always be
a love who failed to see
it was cold inside your mystery
every year that falls
remember me

and i can't let you go
i can't let you go
no

you will always be
a ghost who lives and breathes
and you broke my heart
but i'll make you see
every tear that falls
remember me

every tear that falls
remember me.

words to build dreams on
