Past Present FutureI’m grieving for who I used to be, the person I thought I’d become, the person I am, and the person who I will be all at once. Past, present, future. / I remember riding in the backseat, looking up at the sky and imagining the white picket fence that would be my life one day. The husband or wife, the children, the job, I’d have everything I’d ever want and I’d be happy. It was destined for me. Just like I always saw on the tv. / The teenage years passed by like a blurry photograph. Laughter, adrenaline, excitement, experimentation, freedom, newness, heartache, secrets, lies, rebellion, abandon, isolation, loneliness, depression, guilt, anger, hopelessness. I tried to end my life before I even became an adult and I do sometimes think a part of me died in that bed while the other part managed to cry for help.

Is This Goodbye?Afraid every moment with you is my last / I soak up the essence of you as the minutes pass / We dive deeper as we walk under the sky that’s overcast

Here Right NowCan’t stop stressing about the mess you made, / You look in the mirror to find nothing’s changed / Why do you feel stuck and push people away?

Rooted in my SoulYour words like painted poetry, / Your voice an alluring symphony, / Your eyes deep and rooted in my soul.

RunRun away to infinite possibilities. / Run away from the stagnant. / Run away to me.

Nice Knowing YouYour empty promises filled the room with an ear piercing silence / So quiet, you could almost hear my shattered hopes hit the floor. / “When I held you and your son, I felt like I was holding my family....”

Infinite MomentsInfinite moments up until now, / Infinite moments ahead, / But right now in this moment, time is frozen.

Lucid LongingsI called for her and she came to me, / In my lucid state. / She looked so different, so beautiful,
