_{i am a liar, not a warrior:
i spent half my heart to hear someone else.

you change direction in the beautiful stillness
but the sandstorm chases you: i'd be the road,
draw you into my lungs,

but you have promises to keep.

everyone is falling in love around me
and i am a d r i f t
in an ocean of emptiness.

(summers were always too much,
i need the numbing gusts of winter air.)

so in conclusion, while i restart my heart,
write your best sermons before dawn
and do not feel guilty for twenty years

the way that i have.}
