22/F A musician with too much words for her liking
I grew up dreaming That I'd have a happily every after I grew up seeing My parents walk away I grew up dreaming That I'd be whoever I wanted to be I grew up trying To fit within the page of an A4 paprt I grew up dreaming That I'd fall in love and it would be wonderful I grew up crying Over someone who didn't really care I grew up dreaming That I'd make a difference I grew up being A random nobody I grew up dreaming Until I grew up

I Grew Up
In this world I have no control over Everything is in chaos With my future unsure And I've done all I can To find something worth doing But to no avail I found nothing And in the end I turn to Him When He should have been the one I turned to In the first place

Control
I sit here by my bedroom wall my back on stone, cold concrete I stare at a future as bleak as the white wallpaper peeling off the edge Why is my worth based off of a single sentence the only referral to what I can or cannot do I have plenty to offer beyond the lines of A4 paper And yet society scan these things with cold eyes and cold minds drawing a line to what I can or cannot do And in the end, I conform to those lines tucking away the other sides of me Feeling as though I have nothing to offer for I do not fit within the boundaries of those lines

Dear Future
I thought I'd lost you To harsh words and lies Each day was a mess With no one to talk to No shoulder for my head to rest We pass each other by Wondering when our war would end Not a war of fire But of cold, cold ice You smiled at me one day And I smiled back It was a start For today Where we finally talked And you didn't hate me And my fears Were your fears And we had thought our friendship was gone But it had ended The wall between us I could finally hold your hand and say, "It was terrible being at war with you." And you replied likewise

The Aftermath
I know your voice, Singing for me, I know your eyes Twinkling through the screen, The way you smile, The dimple in your cheek, All of these things, But I don't know you Your birthday, your name, Your tastes and your face, I know these things But I don't know you And yet May you shine Like the star in the sky, Filling up my heart With the melody of your song, May you sing the song That dwells inside, And I will be here, Listening..listening.. Though your heart may be breaking, Though it pains me to see, You still smile like the sun Through the storms in your seas, Sweat on your temple, Through blood and through tears, You forge through it all, So your song could reach me You give me everything, The me who has nothing But my love to give to you I'll be by your side, Though they be against you, Don't worry you'll see, Everything is alright I wish you happiness I wish you peace I wish you good fortune And all of the bliss You may not know me, Never had and never will, But I hope you will know this, You are a star that shines In the darkest of night, And I will sail with you Through wine-colored waters, Listening to your song I don't know you, You don't know me, But we are connected Through a melody.

Return Song
He was a boy With ginger curls And a smile to his name His eyes twinkled with mirth At everything I say With music as a bond We share ourselves Even if only for a moment He was able to bring out The love of music From inside my shell

You've gotten silent You don't reply anymore What could lead to hours of conversation Ends with just a sentence or two Just because you found someone new Does that mean you'd just leave the past behind

Radio Silence
Whenever I stray from classical music He brings me Bach

Heavenly Music
My aunt tells me Be careful with your heart And I promised her I would But I couldn't tell her That it wasn't my heart I had to be careful with It was my mind

Mind the Heart
Weddings are wonderful things I know But I can't help but be heartbroken As I see a couple join together Knowing if they do not love There will be no chance of love
