Books

I wrote this while listening to the instrumental track "Bookstore" by Jon Brion which is on the 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' OST.

The bookstore reminder
You must be happy, christmas lights
The significance right behind her,
hiding in the wind holding our kites

I don't remember long nights
the ocean breaks just right

Are my hands cold?
Because this train is cold

Thinking twice about the wine
A shot or two, eight or nine
So drunk that I am the shoreline
The horizon is yours not mine

You are distant,
I am water resistant
There's a light in the deep

 

and

I will hold my breath until there is nothing else to keep

I lIke this. The sadness seems to be accepted and tolerable in some way as if it is expected, much as Christmas. Maybe such a defence in depth is a good way to deal with life's disppointments.
