swing set silhouette. stinging my sunburnt backhands. breaking cigarettes. mending fractured seesaw slip-ups. why do we confine our steps to the dotted lines. we show our play. we stole the game. we take baby steps. they come so close together. i step on your toes. c'est la vie said you to me. sing me into your lullaby. and i'll kiss you goodnight. long texas drive can change a mind. i've been thinking. it's a good thing. and i'll kiss you goodbye

you've got fever again. your feet are colder then winter in wisconsin. sweet dreams reluctantly end. my freezing hands burn to be touched again. i'm not desperate or deep. futile wants surfacing. wind up my gears too tight. breaks like clockwork. tree eats kite. this is not an entry for your diary. this is a confession of the ministry. is was suspension of disbelief. delusions of grandeur. visible signs of relief. december as one. alone. fighting off the temperature. winter hollowed out. set free. capsizing rapidly. get your days straight. quit lying to me. i wish i could. but you would never believe. i regret every second spent. decisions make damage permanent. this torch i hold is all that keeps me from burning down

closer. hard to breathe in. the wake up. i woke up to. these tragic events. years spent in the shade. in your shadow. i know i can't be replaced. small times by build giant memory. i haven't gone far from center in so long. i built this place for you to live forever in. millionaires club penny pinched the pick pocket. time spent like we could live through our sons without having one. we could come to dinner. we could feel warm and safe. or we could live in this hotel. so vacant. time takes it's toll. we cant keep it all

truly my father's son. truly faithful to no one. mistakes made effortless. temptation is a force like gravity holding onto me. the rain that falls wont slow me down. held my head so high i may drown. retracing my steps back up speedway. retracing the lines run down your face. forgiveness please. forgive me. i can see from the scars on our shoes we haven't fallen far from our roots. i'd have wings if i was meant to fly. driving and screaming while i cry. it's not good enough. sounds so shallow. repeated and echoed. every repetition losing your attention. i would so quickly now give up what i wouldn't then

every star falls. every plane crashes down. every night we could drive twenty miles out of town. and watch the pinholes as they come down. we'll watch the satellites. we'll chase the fireflies. i want to hold your dishpan hands. i want to give into your crazy demands. placing wagers on the alphabet. a one subject college ruled romance novelette. solid gold from head to toe. we slow danced on the picnic tables. and i'm bound to bring you down. criticism made of anyone else is a truism about myself. i wish i might. i wish i may into aerospace. that tonight i'll see your freckled face. i'm through crying over the milk that has yet to spill. standing still amidst a commotion. while every night i lie awake miss you. lost you. i still need you. so long. farewell. auf wiedersehen. goodnight. and i forget sometimes that all your time can't be mine

close your eyes. go to sleep. my sweet precious boy. don't lose a wink for me. salt water calls. brave men in piles of ruin lie. in his boat. his colors flying. we've fallen down. i have now given in. the turn inside that burns. burns me through
