How funny nostalgia is
Just like an eraser it modifies
With time rapid slashes and dashes are faded into something beautiful
Mistakes are redacted
What once was, becomes a distant memory
The grueling hours to reach the perfected image are forgotten
Now there on the mantle it lays
A portrait polished - the final product of a simple eraser

My heart is patched
The bleeding barely noticeable
Yet still reminiscent
And the pain quite tangible
I felt the shift
From loving to somewhat releasing
I so long to fully let go
Yet my soul is still gripping
When does it end?
Why can't I let you go?
We're both so different now
So why do I still love one who i barely know?

Sometimes the story goes
doesnt end like a fairytale
guess that’s how it goes
when you’re stuck
on a merry-go-round
the melody of us
is just a haunted sound now
Tell me heaven
how do I make it stop
My world keeps spinning
like a crooked top
your voice
the needle scratching
my heart raw
I had it all
then I lost it loving you
wish I knew before I fell
the fall was bad
but unrequited love
hurts like hell
All my thoughts
keep circling my head
like a broken record
repeating what we said
if I could escape
I’d trade dreams
for something real
but this broken record
drowns out the silence
leaves me feeling
dead inside
I try to move on
but your ghost
keeps pace beside me
What do I do
to get away from you
How to stop these thoughts
that drive me wild
life feels blind
without you near
too many questions now
and too much time gone by
did it get better
or was it all for nothing
eyes wide shut
searching empty nights
while memories replay
the pain again
Every day feels new
but the ache still lingers
holding to a fading light
far away
wish I could undo
what’s been done
but it keeps replaying
all the hurt
like a broken record
your words cut sharp
your absence hums
like a chord
I can’t unplug
How did we lose
what we had
guess our love
got erased somehow
replaced by an echo
I can’t face
and the story spins again
like it always will
this broken record
of our love
won’t stay still
and I’m trapped
inside the song
against my will.

Who is this in front of me?
Her scars, her dimples somewhat familiar
Perhaps if I wasn't so tired I'd recognize her
Maybe self-preservation has hidden her true identity from me
Ironically, I don't know what I'm shielding myself from anymore
Those who were chasing me are gone
I don't have to hide anymore
Yet this double life has become me
Do I choose a life? Converge the two?
Or become something else entirely?
Who am I when not living a double life?

What a privilege it is to have loved and lost
Perhaps nostalgia's victory stemmed from my escapism
My heart bled so much it endeavored to stop feeling
Yet that is out of the question for me.
I incorrectly assumed that the yearning I felt was a want to be loved
Now I know I long more so to love...and to love deep
This desire runs deep in my veins and cannot be bled out
I cannot outrun what is embedded in me...and I cannot withdraw what I so happily gave away

I love music
And the way it conveys emotions I'm even yet to feel
Music was my escape
My refuge when my mind declared war against me
In the absence of pain I find myself seeking silence
Once afraid of my thoughts, I long to hear myself again
Yet I can't help to see the shadow of what was
I still love music
But I don't need my emotions dictated anymore
The pain has faded, subsided maybe
Yet I find myself scarred and not simply wounded...
And scars don't ever truly heal

I have this knack
A want to love the seemingly unlovable
I'm overly gracious
Overly courteous
Everyone deserves to be loved
Everyone deserves deep care
Yet it seems I forget me in "Everyone"
I consider everyone but me
It seems I am the unlovable
And everyone is lovable but me

confusion clouds my head
my heart unsettled searching for answers
loops run through my brain
analysis after analysis
there were no signs of rejection
conversations filled with affirmations
compatibility right under our noses
hope rising in my heart
who would have imagined you'd say no?
my emotional safety pulled from under me
who would have imagined it'd be one-sided?
now, what do i do with this unrequited love?

I mostly new how to inhale
Hardly ever did i exhale
I thought I'd never learn to breathe
And then I let you go

How suffocating it is to live for everyone else
Wondering why it's been so hard to breathe
Yet every inhale is borrowed air
When did I give away my power?
When did I close myself in?
Yearning for approval
Yearning for acceptance
Even if I was everything they wanted me to be
I'd never be enough
I better just exhale
