You thought he was the sun-
dripping in silken gold.
you thought that the whole world
revolved around him
but, oh dear soul,
when what you thought
was an immortal source of light
never came out one day,
or the weeks to follow-
you realized then
that he was just
a little burning candle light,
meant to last
for only a short time.

i think the hardest part
of loving was knowing
you might not be loved back-
because trying to cope with
having feelings for someone who doesn’t
have feelings for you
is something i gone through too many times.
and so that is the reason why
i do not love anymore.
/i do not love anymore/

the worst goodbye
is the one that’s never said.
it’s to the person you still see in the hallways
but you both just act like nothing ever happened.
and some nights, you’ll sit on your bed
at 1am thinking about him, wondering
if he still thinks about you, too.
/a never-said goodbye/

i had been trying to find something
in between the texts you would send me.
i had been searching for answers
in the way you would talk to me.
i was driving myself mad
looking for something that wasn’t there.
thanks for leading me on,
after i said not to.
guess that’s what all the guys do
now-a-days.

‘i’m over it’
is something
i would say
to everyone
that would ask
because i knew
if i told the truth
i would never move on.
but, man, i’ll still try
to convince myself
that i’m over it.
/i’m not over it/

don’t insult me
for loving too strongly
or caring too deeply
or laughing too loudly
how dare you try and tell me
my big, wild heart
is a bad thing.
/big, wild heart/

he was so intoxicating
and little old me
never thought
that could be a bad thing.
little old me
never thought
the thing i loved most about him
would put me in storms of hopelessness.
little old me
never thought
indulging in something
that made my head spin
and my heart quiver
would cause me an ocean of damage.
little old me
never thought
i would be in a place
where i would wish for someone
to rip my heart out of my chest,
because i was sick of having to feel
the hurricane of heaving pain
it held from the day he left.

don’t fall in love with a nice guy.
once it’s all over,
you’ll blame yourself
for everything that went wrong.
because how could it have been him?
he was a nice guy.
/lies about nice guys/

i had mastered the art of pretending
pretending like i didn’t care.
pretending like i was happy.
pretending like it didn’t matter.
‘hold it in,’ and
‘show a soft smile,’ i’d say.
‘let out a little laugh,’
i’d tell myself.
but what i realized was that
my soul was trying desperately
to express itself,
and bottling it up
and holding it in
was slowly destroying me.
so say you are desperately falling for him.
tell that girl her comment was uncalled for.
cry when you’re having a horrible day.
your emotions are raw expressions of your soul-
don’t you harbor them silently inside.
/master of pretending/
