maybe i'm not meant to be anything
maybe i'm just here to inspire the something
or maybe i'm as significant as a leave on the ground
once vibrant and green
now crushed beneath your feet

lately
i can’t bring myself to write
i think the words might be
too much
too true
i have nothing
nothing
but my truths
if i can’t write
about my truth
then what else do i have?

we all have habits
they make us who we are
they’re what makes us unique
the twirling of her hair
the nibbling of his nails
the tapping of their foot
you used to do this little thing
you’d touch the tip of your nose
in the peak of your amusement
you would fidget
usually with the hair tie at your wrist
you’d snap it constantly
you ran your fingers
through your hair
nervously working the nerves
sometimes when you were deep in thought
you’d chew on the inside of your cheek
i could always tell by the sour look on your face
and when you got embarrassed
you’d smile and bite your lip
and turn bright red
or how right before a performance
you’d thump a hand over your chest
a harmony to the heavy thudding of your heart
those were the things that made you you
the things you didn’t notice
the things nobody would unless they knew you
the way i knew you
knew
before everything changed
you’re still the same you, though
for the most part
people change, habits don’t
you still touch your nose when you laugh
you still snap your hair tie on your wrist
you still run your fingers through your hair
you still chew the inside of your cheek
you still bite your lip when you’re embarrassed
you still thump on your chest before a show
you’ve changed
but you’re still human
and humans are creatures of habit

i’m sorry i’m cautious
it’s not like i have much reason to be
just observations
mere contemplations
over how it would feel
to open my heart to someone
only for it to get trampled
i don’t want to be another example
of why we shouldn’t open
ourselves to people
when it just leaves us empty
it just doesn’t seem tempting
so why should i
when it comes to love
i don’t see the fuss
over people who don’t give a **** about us

my heart beats
each beat its own
thumping in my chest
painfully
a steady rhythm
a melancholy song
with my thoughts singing
hauntingly

i do not know
why i feel so empty
broken
alone
why i'm in so much pain
but i do know that this is the worst
it's ever been
but not the worst it'll ever get

i look at your heart
and see the broken pieces
left behind
but i wouldn’t dare
mention it because
mine is the same

i would understand it
how they treat me
if i were cruel
if i never tried
if i didn’t care
if i weren’t easy-going
if i had different friends
if i put up with ********
if i were quiet
if i couldn’t think for myself
if i were stupid enough to
except i’m not those things
so i don’t understand
i don’t understand how they could
walk all over me
ignore me
say mean things
lie to me
lie about me
patronize me
tell me to hush
put me down
make me feel like this
when all i ever do
is try my best
not to be like them
to be better

as i lay here
it's impossible
not to think about the good times
you loved anything that rhymes
how you'd make me laugh
how your touch would tickle
with just a few words
hushed whispers so no one else heard
your hot breath brushing my ear
your contagious laughter
how we never ran out of things to say
your brilliance brighter than a summer day
but now it's too late
you've moved on
and i thought i had too
clearly that's too good to be true.

what might have been
if only the grass weren’t green
what might have been
if only the sky weren’t blue
what might have been
if the rainbow were in a different order
what might have been
if noah didn’t build his arc
what might have been
if gravity didn’t hold us down
what might have been
if light were darkness
what might have been
if darkness were light
what might have been
if death were life
what might have been
if life were death
what might have been
if you were still here
what might have been
if you never left
what might have been
if you loved me
what might have been
if you never stopped
