Canadian A word after a word after a word is power- M.A.
Floating in the air above me: that's where sleep goes on a sleepless night. Taunts me like a black desire. Everything is such a fight

Wakefulness
If you love someone set them free -They say But I couldn't help myself. I held on too tight, until you couldn't breathe. Until I killed your soul, and no one could recognize you. Except me. Because I am also dead.

Drowning
Sometimes I forget that I am made of glass. Thick shards of my piercing words digging into your beautiful fragility. Careful now, I remind myself. For as much as I can hurt, If you leave, I will shatter.

Self-reminder
How long will you be here? How long until you're gone? How long until I lose control? How long will I be strong? I need to know the truth, My heart is a pounding cave. How long will I be happy, before I need to become brave? Although sadness is my strong suit, I pair it with a smile. I know love is like a ticking clock, happiness is just for a while.

Happy for a while
Sorry to tell you, but we are not one in the same. Bloodily tied by our fully extended limbs, we hold onto different blame. Attached by cordial hellos and torn apart by distance, we should never have to try this hard to find consistence. Although time has become just a number, and hurt has become my armour I will never forget your choices.

The M word
Here is the funny thing about being your shadow. I follow you everywhere, with only two exceptions. When you turn off the lights and pull her close in the comfort of darkness. But worse than that is when the sun is shining directly on you and you are happy (then I am really gone).

No Sunshine
I kinda wish you'd give me a shove slap me in the face, or direction, metaphorically. Then at least when I trudged down the sidewalk I would be dignified Bruised but not scarred I could cry you out But here I am Caught in limbo with long nights and short chats

Unpredictable you
Twisted tail of me and you Been so long and felt so true But I hug my feelings and you guard yours All I wanted was your stuff in my drawers But you want to be free And who am I to plea? So now you be you And I'll be me

I let you go but I do not drown
No matter where I go No matter what I say I will always be wrong The daylight is always grey For what I feel and what I do Is a muted sound, unless there is you

Always Though
You are the girl, the girl with sunken eyes the girl whose hair is a mess with no brush whose life is a mess with no luck the angel with a black heart that has been stepped on one too many times you are the girl who has no conscience but whose mother raised her to be a goddess but instead she’s here, you’re here alone, kinda
