Incomplete Feelings

This morning I woke up falling from the sky
this mourning is surrounding me and I wonder why
I'm left to my own destruction
funny that I'm too proud to function
and pull the parachute before I hit the ground
I guess I figured she'd always be around

Reserving my reservations for a dirty April day
a seclusion of amusement somewhere down ocean way
her smile hits me like a ton of bricks
like a boxer I take my last violent licks
and hit the floor, out for the counting
the blackness comes like a glittering bounty
unearthed in my crumbling soul
she was scheduled to come and make me whole
but she spent all her adoration on some other guy
leaving me painting imaginary faces in the sky

It frustrates me
this aborted love-to-be
swimming inside me still
with her fingers in the kill

Skyline
reflected on the cars in midtown
the rain is weighing me down
still I don't make a sound
Valentine
for such an abnormal girl
I found love and gave it a whirl
now these incomplete feelings are killing my world

This evening I found sleep like a miracle drug
this thieving of my dreams gives me a hard tug
at my imploding heart
I've been alone from the start
a shipwreck lost under the waves of her memory
my hopes run aground, such a sad sad story

When removing Cupid's arrow, be sure to breathe
any number of holes in my heart I can concieve
were once filled by her love like a sunray
and once upon a time, we had so much to say
to eachother, but now for ex-lovers, a quiet storm
a thunder raging inside me, leaving me ripped and torn
I unearthed a crumbling world
I can rebuild around me to keep out abnormal girls
in this love's inertia I can float like a leaf
straight to a new life to my endless relief

It amazes me
this impending life-to-be
waiting for me over the next hill
nervously, I take another pill

Skyline
reflected in the water in my cup
the wind is lifting me up
I'm happy as a little pup
Valentine
remembering her like this
the soft sensation of her kiss
and these incomplete feelings I can't resist

Instructions on how to resist love from keeping you down:
pull the parachute before you hit the ground
don't figure she'll always be around
when removing Cupid's arrow, be sure to bleed
it's important to feel, important to need
a love like a sunflower, you can plant the seeds
to bloom in your heart, you'll feel it tingling
to complete your feelings
