23 years young / Learning to live my life to it's fullest again / Open mind big heart
It’ll end in fire if the fire comes I hope it burns us both as we call out for our fathers as they raise a glass of wine in our names for the last time I saw the fire coming I saw the flames burning the trees Burning the leaves as I begged please please As the nights got icy I welcomed the fire I saw the fire coming for me blowing in the breeze The night set on fire I covered my eyes and I whispered this is how we die in this lonely town with no one around The fire flew over the mountain side The fire went as far as the ocean wide The flames burned over the ice and for a moment the warmth was nice I saw fire in your eyes as you walked away with not a word to say leaving me and our lonely city to burn

Fire
We take a chance from time to time And put our necks out on the line And you have broken every promise that we made And I have loved you anyway Took a fine time to leave me hangin' out to dry Understand now I'm greivin' So don't you waste my time Cause you have taken All the wind out from my sails And I have loved you just the same We finally find this Then you're gone Been chasin' rainbows all along And you have cursed me When there's no one left to blame And I have loved you just the same And you have broken every single ******* rule And I have loved you like a fool

I hated the way our relationship began with a text I hate the way it ended with me wishing you the best I hate the way you only shop in a thrift store Like you were Macklemore I hate the way you avoid my eyes and I hate the way he lies I hate the way you clawed your way in I hate the way you gave a truth a great spin I hate the giant sigh you let out and I hate the way you doubt me I hate the way you made me something new something made just for you

I hate it
Love doesn't die over night but the dreams you grew and planted with one another do. One day you wake up and his scent drenches your skin but other then that there is no trace of him.

RIP our dreams
To the boy who stole my innocence too soon and promised me forever and just like my innocence forever came and went with nearly no time spent. My child like gaze remains in that summer haze To the boy that had me wonder if i’d make it out alive My trust issues belong to you the way I question everything I do That’s because of your choke hold and your promise I’d never grow old To the boy who played me like a fool and played it cool every time we’d pass in school My look the other way pretend you're okay that came out of that one day To the boy who refused to stand by my side when nothing went right and everything wrong my ability to stay strong belongs to me because you couldn't see past that moment couldn't see what things could be You never really saw me But to the boy who climbed the walls the past built I'm Building them hire To protect me from the fire to protect me from the burn For what I've learned belong to you To the man who saw me To the man who wasn't a boy To the man who bought me joy My future awaits you you'll see So come find me.

To The Boys
He used to lie all the time to me and I would see the truth under it all He used to watch as I would fall apart and from the start it was the way we were I was blind to his beautiful lies and he was blind to my painful cries He used to lie and enchante me But I would always see I closed my eyes I never asked myself why not even when I would cry I was captured wrapped up in your lie Begging you to never say goodbye tight in your clutch In some kind of a rush to find my soulmate To prove that this was great to prove this was fate And now I’m lying in the bed I made Covered in mistakes I’m laying next to you wondering what should I do? wait to get caught like you used to It’s a silent burden I carry Knowing you may never forgive me

He lied she cheated
I'm so tired of this empty feeling I'm so tired of being alone I lay here staring at the ceiling Waiting by the phone I jump when the phone rings It brings a smile to my face When he hangs up my heart stings And I sink back into my lonely place I wish and I dream That we'll be together soon I can't wait until we can look up hand in hand At the stars and at the moon I yearn for his kisses His touch - His embrace I can't wait for Thursdays When I get to see his face I'm flooded with thoughts of him In my heart, soul, and mind I imagine his touch So gentle and kind I try not to weep I hope he doesn't hear my cries But I can't stop the tears Falling from my eyes I cry a thousand tears And think - how much more can I take? But in my heart I know I'd wait a thousand years All for love's sake
