You

If tomorrow mattered, I'd give them all to you
If today would ever be enough
I could say I love you without shame-
but you've never allowed me to
the way you hollow out my bones and hang my heart
I reached too far across the universe, came too close
the Fates would not allow such perfection
But I won't laugh and I won't cry
I won't think of you in waking thoughts
I won't lament after I dream
I won't look at you with longing
I'll cut you up to pieces and watch myself bleed
I'll take it with me until my last breath,
You're just something I have to live without
after tasting the first bite of home



You II

One of these days I will get over you
And when that day comes
I want the world to cry
Because something beautiful just died.
