A rough draft of an original, "Crumbling Like Pages," written about a love story never fulfilled.

Crumbling Like Pages (The Story of You)
04212013

I thought I'd said good-bye
Yet here you are standing right next to me
I thought I'd walked away
But as I take each step I find myself
Closer and closer,
Your emotional draw
Leaves me astounded
How do you do it?
I'd like to know`

Do I need to burn every letter
Do I need to strengthen my ground
I feel myself sinking
Like quicksand
into memories of you?
Shouldn't hiding the photos be enough
Must I burn them away?
Leaving me with nothing,
No trace of what's been.
No fragment of you?

We sit and watch the stars
I try not to breathe; try to hold on to this moment
But you're cold and so we go
And I just want to be immortalised
In the heavens above us,
tell our story time and again
Leaving them astounded
Confounded
in the glory of you

Do I need to close every chapter
Do I need to strengthen my spine?
I find I'm crumbling
like pages
with each mention of you
Shouldn't distancing myself be enough
Must I push you away?
Leaving me with nothing,
No trace of what's been.
No fragment of you?

Do I need to burn ever letter
Do I need to strengthen my ground?
I find I can't keep on just sinking
getting drawn back to you
Should I close the book,
Put you away,
Must I gather my pride?
Walk away, say good-bye to the fragments
[to] the story of you.

"Our Current Truth"
Kince, 02032011

Wasting time on networking sites
on friends' pages I
see pictures of you
at a party we both went to.
We missed each other by minutes
and I'm not sure if I was prepared
or I'm still too scared to
be seeing somebody new with you
standing next to you
in a photo on-line
at a time when you could've been mine
if I hadn't driven you away
with my overthinking and analysing

I thought I'd be okay alone
but I find in my place
I am discouraged and disgruntled
and hoping that your mind will change
I could write a thousand songs
to shift my point of view
but I won't rest
until it's me and you

Thinking back to a long time ago
on a ferry ride,
I was so appalled
so mortified when
you tricked me with a gag flavour
of Jelly Belly
but you taught me to laugh at myself
And now,
going through my in-box I find---
how could I have been so blind?
---an e-mail from you
talking about us two
I thought it would be better
if I tried to get by
so I didn't hit "Reply"

I thought I'd be okay alone
but I find in my place
I am discouraged and disgruntled
and hoping that your mind will change
I could write a thousand songs
to shift my point of view
but I won't rest
until it's me and you

standing side by side
and talking amongst ourselves
sharing a moment
like you two
in your photo on-line

I know you're probably better off without me
but in his embrace
are you dissatisfied
and do you find
you hope your situation would change?
I could write a thousand songs
to shift your point of view
'cause I won't rest
until it's me and you

in a room alone
with you in my embrace
where you're encouraged and satisfied
and thankful situations change
I could write a thousand songs
if it would change our current truth
'cause I won't rest
until it's me and you...

...me and you.
