Your umbrella drips dry in the rain,
The shadows on the wall a part of you.
In the gray morning, you look out your window
for the persimmon tree you used to talk to.

The boat in the painting sails without a soul,
across the gap in your heart you refuse to see.
You open a book full of the pieces of someone else,
to distract the dragon when it gets too hungry.

The fire kindles and sparks in the heather,
yet you wear your large, gray coat and shiver.
sometimes you peer endlessly at the brick wall,
removing it brick by brick until its gone.
And then build it up again.

The star I looked for that day,
floated quietly through the water.
The truth in the lies you told,
and the lies in your flawed truths
melted the snow from off it's surface.
And now no one knows how far it's gone,
whether to someones tears or someones dream.

To the Ocean

Today too, in your locker,
a shattered piece of rain
leaks down the shelves and wets your sleeves
as you were waiting for a message.
 
Telephone poles point to the sky,
on your way home holding a useless umbrella.
remembering the last words they spoke,
piling up, accumulating, gathering together like snow.

I want to forget my body,
and let only my essence escape
in a sunny blue day with no worries.
It's just foolishness.

The last stop on the train,
and you clutch your bag a little tighter.
3,4,5, days it's been, and a cold day in March,
you throw away your school supplies down the empty well.

Let's go to the ocean.
Just you and me,
like when you begged me that one, last time.
Let's go to the ocean,
Let's go to the ocean.

Let's go to the ocean,
forget our mistakes,
see the sun reflect on the water.
Let's go to the ocean.
walk along the sand with our shoes in our hands.

I want to find the line where heart and logic connect,
and cut away all the secrets we hid there.
Bicycling along a path lined in 3-leaf clovers,
like the ones you'd collect in your soda bottles.

A's marked vertically, as though trying to prove something,
ash floats to the surface of the bowl.
glances from the teachers, tight conversations,
the janitor's bucket spilled down the stairs.

If I could travel back in time,
If I could return the books you let me borrow.
today too, all of these what-if stories
will rain on the leaky roof above my head.

So let's go to the ocean,
Just you and me,
to the place you wanted to go,
Let's go to the ocean,
Let's go to the ocean.

Let's go to the ocean,
forget our regrets,
where the waves will carry us,
Let's go to the ocean,
I won't forget you, no, not ever.

Let's go to the ocean,
Only you and me,
and I'll give you a little taste of hope,
so let's go to the ocean,
Let's go to the ocean.
