Calling it Love
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
thought I saw
more than I saw
and here I was calling it love
holding you back
and here I thought I was
holding you up
you keep the peace
by keeping everything
in pieces
break hearts
just so you can
keep it all in secret
I wish it could have been
but maybe I’m done wishing
say all until it’s said,
then settle into ending
and here I was
and here I was
trying to hold it all up
and here I was
and here I was
and here I was calling it love
all for one
then it’s awful when
the fall
leaves you broken
you’re already over it
but I’m just settling in
and there’s too much past
can’t change it back
by keeping pieces of us
thought I saw
more than I saw
and here I was calling it love
and here I was
and here I was
trying to hold it all up
and here I was
and here I was
and here I was calling it love

Easy Is My New Way
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
filled the cracks
‘cause I used to be sad
easy is my new way
am I doing okay
now that
kisses have been replaced
and check-in calls get erased
easy is my new way
easy is my new way
all cut out
like background
of your beautiful design
and if
if I let in light will it shine
or will
will it lie
like a love
in still life
easy is my new way
am I doing okay
now that
loneliness
is hit or miss
night or day
a quick fix
with something safe
to say
easy is my new way
easy is my new way
easy is my new way

Here & Nowhere
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
like I’m in reverse
or a stall
or in between
call if you can see me
call if you can see me
when I get there
I’ll be getting somewhere
wasn’t on top
blowin’ out
blowin’ up
fortune teller to me:
if words could fit together,
maybe I could speak
but for right now
I’m in, I’m in
if only for now
I’m in, I’m in
the middle in between
the here and nowhere
and you’re nowhere to be found
'cause I was looking
looking all around
but I stopped looking
if only for now
I’m in between
the here and nowhere
sorting through the space
empty now
now and then
faking happy
'cause you’re happier than happy
from what I’m seeing
glasses half full
drinking up
laughed out
off to get it together
and words all to often come
letter by letter
for right now
I’m in, I’m in
if only for now
I’m in, I’m in
the middle in between
the here and nowhere
and you’re nowhere to be found
'cause I was looking
looking all around
but I stopped looking
if only for now
I’m in between
the here and nowhere
if only for now
I’m in...
if only for now
I’m in...
if only for now
I’m in between
the here and now
and nowhere

I Still Hold On
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
haven’t grown into the words
to break the silence
so we sit here
speechless in the quiet
you left before you left
and left me with surprise
but where there’s love,
there’s light
I still hold on
even though
I should let you go
the familiar is keeping you steady
but when all the voices become noise
it’s an emptiness that you hear
caught between forgetfulness and fear
and I wait, I wait, I wait
for you here
I still hold on
even though
I should let you go
so if you find that glimmer of hope
I hope you find the time to let me know
so I don’t wonder why forever
I still hold on
even though
I should let you go
I still hold on
even though
I should let you go
I still hold on
even though
I should let you go

Over
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
in a flash
the something we had
was over
did you come around here first
then say
did you come around here first
then say
I think I’ll go
I think I’ll go another way
asking 'who am I' for days
records reverse on me
pulling me under
just like the waves
spend my time reading minds
call in the psychics
call in the spies
as they search and decide
to bring me back to life
when the last of me
climbs up and over
the distance won’t feel so strange
the memories will have a place
a newness to everything
spent lifetimes
trying
to read between your lines
thought if it sounded right
it’d be right
sent out lifelines
talk me down in the night
now that you’re out of sight
they’ll bring me back
they’ll bring me back
they’ll bring me back to life
now that you’re out of sight
they’ll bring me back to life

Birds in the Trees
written by Avy Summerlind ©2010
what could they be so happy about
the last thing I saw was you walking away
could it be they see the sun through the clouds
maybe they see sunshine through the grey
I’m not for sure anymore
my heart feels so broken
like I’m farther off
than ever before
but the birds in the trees make me smile, make me smile
think I’ll stop here and listen for a while
oh the birds in the trees make me smile, make me smile
think I’ll stop here and listen for a while
