Never ever  I told myself 2 years ago
Never I said to myself 1 year ago
Not happening I told myself 6 months ago
But it happened 3 months ago
And i could always go for more when the opportunity is there
Swallow my nights memories to forget
Waking up remembering a headache
Not this time I said last week
But now this is all I will probably ever seek
Alcohol
A drink that can ****
One shot at a time

take her talents
take her fashion
stealing such a crime
most get away with
take her boyfriend
take her smile
cause what is so wrong
just seems so right
take her confidence
take her ideas
so when you steal everything she has
you’ll be recognized
but remembered as a thief

I wish I could cry on your shoulders
But you have been gone for the past week
I wish I didn’t have to carry  these huge boulders
But you have more important things that you seek
I wish you were here
But you seem to be over there
All I can do is wish
Twice a day
11:11 am and 11:11pm
And they say wishes come true
So where’s mine?

I knew i should have went for it when i had a green light free to go

I also knew i should have when when i had a yellow light and made sure i proceeded  with caution

But now i really should have stopped when i saw the red light
because that was my stopping point
and i treated it like a green light
And now here i am, stuck at a yellow light carefully stepping, where to go, what to say, or even do, just waiting for a green light to tell me its okay to go

Goodnight moon
Goodnight world
For the joys you bring
And the lessons we learn
Tomorrow's a new day
And we can try again
Even if we fail
we always have the stars
And we can always say
Goodnight moon
Because the moon will always shine in the light full of darkness
