Southwest
Gothic
weather vanes spinning wildly even though
there's no wind
sunsets bathing everything in saturated light before all the color disappears
old homesteads leaning to one side
everything covered in cobwebs
walking in the desert alone
but you're not alone
someone on the crest is crawling with you
waking up to the sound of a complete downpour but looking outside and it hasn't rained even a drop
your walls have eyes
and they've seen

Midwest
Gothic
abandon farms
silos that are slowly turning back into the earth
street lights that flicker as you pass them
empty streets in the middle of the night, but you still hear footsteps behind you
someone looking at you from a curtained window, then you blink and they’re gone
storm sirens at 2 AM
an old radio carackling on, even though no one touched it
the endless fields know your fears

East Coast
Gothic
foggy piers
something large and unknown washing up onto the shore
the end of the beach disappearing into the storm
shade of the forest, leaving patterned shadows and tricking your eyes
overgrown tombstones
old houses painted black, shuttered windows
an outbuilding in the middle of the woods, the forest has moved inside
you know someone lives there
figures between the trees, whispering
something large and unknown washing up onto the shore
the end of the beach disappearing into the storm

overgrown tombstones

figures between the trees, whispering
It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
here's to
the infinate possible ways to love you
here's to the fact that i'll be sad with out you
I want you to have it all
here's to the fact that i'll be sad with out you
I want you to have it all
I’m madly in love with the way you brush up against me
without knowing it
It was always you
Falling for me
Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand
is the beginning of a journey
