Moth Harris Poems

The air is brisk, but refreshing to the touch.
I grasp it with my fingertips and let it get swept away.
I say, today, is not long enough. Too cold here
yet so beautiful. White like your wings, they take me away.
...

I said 'hey hey woah! '
Where'd you go girl?
Where'd you go?
Nothing but endless dial tone
...

The hour glass lets a few grains pass
On the few last hours in my past
Where I gasped in the vast ocean
I grasped your hand and you asked
...

It all winds down
Ever winding
Ever winding,
A little town
...

It takes a lot of thought to see that the person who we are
Is so far away from the person who we used to be
Your opinions can all be the same
You can still feel alone or misunderstood
...

Just three brothers connected not by blood
Ones alone and the others can always see
the long sleeves that cover up how he bleeds
because he's lost what his heart needs
...

Now I know you feel empty there's not much to say.
I just want to know how you feel, right now, today.
I just want you to know how I feel, and what it means.
So listen my darling, my love, and my angel.
...

I shut my door and put my head down
I sigh and I turn away
I wish someone would just understand
what I am trying to say
...

It's been so long, why don't you get out?
You don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say.
I felt so wrong, why did you get out?
If you wanted to take it back today?
...

Live like an angel with burnt and charred wings
The honesty that truth brings has carried you far away from here
everything that we had dear has been shattered like glass
I look to my past and see that you never could see at all
...
