At 15 I was wandering, drifting from place to place, moving in and being evicted. Never the fault of the landlord, always the tenant.

Home part 2 (unfinished)
I wish that you knew I still reach out for you But you’re not here Not even in spirit I wish that you knew how much I love you But you don’t want to hear it I wish that you knew I can’t sleep alone But you’re my home Now I’m nowhere near it

When I was 15 I purchased a home I wasn’t in the market and the value was unknown The floor plan was cramped, the walls painted dark, the greenery overgrown The walls built up cast shadows into dim corners For three years I worked Brightening color schemes, opening curtains, letting some light in, Increasing the sale value, for someone to buy it After all this work I finally decided I would no longer remodel myself for someone else to reside in, I would only create a home to live my life in I continuously work on building my home to match my needs, I will not care if the neighbors hate my landscaping, I opened my floor plan by tearing down walls I made do with my home, despite it was small When I am in my small home, completely rebuilt, I live in a mansion

Home part 1
When you talk about leaving I can't help my breathing My throat's constricting My heart's rapid beating All these things you're not seeing Because you'd never believe me

I'm lying in bed while you're miles away, I'm typing this out to beg you to stay, I'm holding you back, but I don't know how to say, I love you in every possible way

We’re making life decisions At only seventeen But I’m stuck here wishing You would choose to stay with me

Im younger than I’ll ever be And older than I’ve been But what you don’t see Is I am afraid to lead Unless I drag you by the hand My lips don’t know the words to speak Unless you’re the one listening to me

If love fades Or monotony grows tiring If "I love you" feels like lying If you can't stay Know that while you're away I may fill my emptiness Kissing bottles But while we're apart You'll still hold my heart

While You're Away
Some say to heal you just write what hurts But I still feel you taking over my words Your hands still stinging, leaving me red Though it's been two years You tugging my shirt over my head Still a lingering fear I need to escape you But I'm stuck here

One day he'll look at you The same way he has for months You'll only see a shell Of the lover he was once He was slowly fading You guess you never noticed So you sit here waiting As he takes your love and throws it
