I wear my smile like my nail polish, chipped and fading
Sometimes painted on to hide what’s underneath
Or fake and pressed on, to be as perfect as possible
And it hurts like nothing else when it breaks

You can have my shoulder to borrow
bury your tears in the ground
water the dirt with your sorrow
and hope that the Earth doesn't drown

emerge from the sea
like a wave making a splash
rising to be strong

Every day you become my valentine
Mine for every moment in every dream
You do not need to buy me chocolate
Or flowers to go with my jewelry
Just give me a promise to stay around
Be there for me, forever and always,
And I will be yours if that is okay
It might not be February fourteenth
But you can still be my valentine now
Be mine forever and I will be yours

Looking for love is like waiting for an elevator,
waiting patiently for something to move you.
Not knowing who will be behind those doors
And once you’re in, what direction you’ll go.
Sometimes you’ll be stuck with bad people,
but they will leave, not extending their stay.
More people will call the elevator to their floor.
You will go to their level, but not stay there.
Soon the one will step in and meet your gaze,
then you’ll always be with your new love.
There are ups and downs, unwelcome guests,
and decisions to make about where to go
If you’ve found the on, don’t let them leave.
Ride out the rest of your journey together
until the elevator stops and one of you gets out

We are soulmates, kept apart by time
To not have met would be the worse crime
Fate had us together, first as friends
growing stronger as each text sends
Destined to be more, wanting to be more
I then felt the love I never had before
Facing the skeptics by being together
supporting each other through the worst weather
Star-crossed lovers, due to fate
falling deeper in love with each date
A love that most people don't understand
they say we don't mean it, they can't comprehend
that we are meant for each other's heart
Never to be broken or kept apart

Sitting in silence
just looking at each other
eye contact remains
but I get lost, hazel hues
leave me a map to your world

Our hands together
Tangled finger find their place
lacing like zippers

I’m the girl who nobody knows
I’m the girl who doesn’t pose
I’m the girl who sits quietly in back
I’m the girl who has a panic attack
I’m the girl who can never sleep
I’m the girl whose pain is deep
I’m the girl who appears to be shy
I’m the girl who tries not to cry
I’m the girl whose heart is broken
I’m the girl who is always outspoken
I’m the girl who tries to be good
I’m the girl who is misunderstood

Rest in peace to the sidewalks outside
Cracking and crumbling as they collide
They had a good life, supporting us all
But even the strongest foundation can fall
Saying my goodbyes, paying my respects
Going back along the split concrete
Thinking of past memories, dragging my feet
That’s when I tripped, on that same sidewalk
On which I paid tribute exchanging sad talk
I caught myself with my hands, hearing a crack and a twist
Just like the sidewalk that fractured my wrist
