I am passing on again, to something better
That’s what I’ll answer if you call
Everything went up again in mid December
Forever after, after all
I would give to you the warmth of that one summer
The one that always makes me sad
But, better that, than to fall prey to my nostalgia
When it tells me you’re someone I ever had
I’m sinking, ever closer, to a core
There’s no place for you here anymore
All that I was before you
All that you wanted me to be
All that I am because of
All of the things you took from me
Long ago I loved someone, and they would have me think they loved me
They called voices from the dark, and they filled the room around me
Now my love is turning in, there’s no other name above me
There’s no other name above, there’s no other name above me

The Name of You

I know you can’t do this right now, but
I’ve been reading your horoscope still, my love.
Your moon is in Aries in the 5th house,
I should warn you that that means trouble for us
I could’ve told you the last time I saw you,
When we stayed up talking on the night of the show
But you laughed when I read you that poem
You can hide all you want, but I know that you know
If love was kind
It would’ve taken me out back behind the barn
In the morning
When you grabbed me and I said I had to go
Let’s get down like we used to
Before we got hot and moved away.
We’re not done.
All the songs that I wrote for you back then
Feel so far away now, and you only liked the sad ones.
Now I’m trying out chords for your new song
I can tell that I’ve found it by the way your eyes shine
As you sing of surrender to a new love
You’re reading along, so you can’t see mine
But love is patient
As time is fed,
It bears all things
Believes all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
Misses all things
Denies all things
Regrets all things
Took a while but I know what I know now,
You and I, we have never felt the same.
All your friends want to know what I’ve been up to, and
All my friends still shudder when they hear your name.
When you ask me to send you this song
Down the line when you’ve hurt somebody new
I’ll respond from wherever I’m staying
Hurting somebody else in the name of you.

Put me down
You don’t have to look at me that closely anymore
This won’t take long
Need a little time to gather what you’re looking for
Leave me a little while
Leave me to dry out on my own
You’re getting closer
Go slow
Don’t you want to drag this out?
Don’t you wonder where I go?
Give it a little while
I want to let you sink in
I want to feel it
When you go
I want to think about
What you would think about it
I’m gonna wait
to ask you, though
You’re getting close
You’ve got to go slow
Might be what I’ve bargained for
But I have to know

Your Well

It all becomes divided
When it comes down to you
Everybody picks a side
To pay their tribute to
Depends on how you left it
And the leaving’s up to you
When you get tired, or you get mad,
Or you get seen right through
And it’s not beautiful
You’re just weak
You will take, and take
And give nothing
For what you keep
So this is what you wanted
At least you saw it through
Everybody gathers round
Talking about you
What you’ve been up to lately
And who you’re getting to
What they’ll lose along the way
And what you’ll make them do
We’ve been held like that
We can tell
Soon enough there’ll be another
Here in your well

No Fire

I run cool, like the water,
And my heart’s evergreen
In the air I’ve looking
For the lines in between
But there is no fire in me
So I get swept by the river
I get lost in the trees
When the air’s getting thicker
And there’s nothing to feed
There is no fire in me
You are smiling,
Holding hands on public transit
Like there’s no one there to notice
But they’d all be glad to see
You are comfortable and constant
Like I’ll never understand
Like I’ve never been allowed to be
Not stolen
Or simmering
Nothing missing that I had upon a time
It’s just quiet
It’s just quiet
It’s too quiet
It’s always been too quiet
And there’s no fire

How do you love when the ways that you know are not found,
and they never could keep you?
I’m going back to the garden again,
I thought you should know.
There, I will stay, as the gentle rain breaks the heat
In the valley below me
And your presence and absence resounds in the cabin,
The silence that sits in the space between worlds.
How to forgive all the life that’s lived when you’ve left
And the ivy keeps growing?
I will not ask what you’re thinking again,
So I never will know.
But , here, in this space that we failed to create,
I will meet you, and gaze with affection
Like I never was frightened of reaching that height,
Living and dying a million times
In your eyes.

Niamh Brooklyn, New York
I was raised next to the water;
Where it ran from, I never could tell.
I feel the wind upon my shoulder;
It seems to think that I will be well.
