Take my hand and let's go All you have to do is say so I know you are at your all time low I should have asked a long time ago But then I didn't know what I now know This is what I've wanted from our first hello Please don't say no

Let's Go
I remember that night I saw you see me dance I remember that night Yes, I saw you see me see you You made jokes You tried to hide behind them You made jokes But I saw right through them I kissed you I lay my head on your chest and listened to your heart beat I kissed you You have no idea how badly I wanted to Things changed Things really did not go as planned Things changed You had a girl and I had a stand We crossed the line We knew we were both unstable but still We crossed the line Ignoring common sense we tread deep waters You lost nothing You kept your girl and your dignity You lost nothing But I lost you and my dignity Here you are Here you are building my playlist and gallery Here you are Present, available but not mine I still feel you I know it's uncalled for and wrong I still feel you Despite knowing full well that I'm playing fool Probably shouldn't Probably should give my heart a break Probably shouldn't Knowing me I might down one and confess I love you

He was water He was fire He was calm He was thrill He was peace He was chaos He was comfort He was risk He was a bubble He was a race car He was what I needed He was what I wanted

I'm gaining weight and I like it And starting to care less I must admit Drinking too much, I know I know, I need to quit I gave up on you that was my biggest win My only worries now are my health and skin Becoming my own person from deep within Shed of the extra weight and I don't mean physically ***** who you keep close to you critically Do everything in simplicity Let your spirituality, safety and happiness be your trinity

Changes
I haven't written in a while because I've been feeling lost Like everything I do, say, or feel comes at a cost. I wanted to take time away and heal But that just made the pain and the hurt feel real I haven't written in a while because I thought I was in love for a while Wanted to focus my attention on that turns out he wasn't even mine. I haven't written in a while but I hope it won't be like that no more Because I'm back and my energy is times four.

Too much
I AM A QUEEN Sometimes my crown does slip and I reveal my vulnerable side but that does not change the fact that I AM A QUEEN Most of the times I am not someone you would pick if we were in a room full of girls but fact remains I AM A QUEEN I'm a shy flirt, a double degree major and active performing alcoholic, has one too many one too times but still I AM A QUEEN

I want...
There are so may words left unsaid, So many thoughts as I lay on my bed, So many demons begging to be fed, So may mistakes that I dread, So many emotions better unread.

So many,
Sometimes I wake up startled in the middle of the night, Because I dreamed of a hand around my neck so tight. Withholding air from my body, But as I dart my eyes I see nobody. Instinctively I try and fight it off, But I end up with a deeper heave and cough. It takes a minute, two or nine, To realize the choking hand is mine.
