Out of the ordinary
A canary with clipped wings,
Destined for greatness,
While being bound to her cage

Out of the ordinary
Clinging to her daily routine
Paralyzed by the fears,  
That she’ll never succeed

Out of the ordinary
Maybe she’ll fly after all
Though she was made for the sky,
We all have to learn to crawl
Alexander Oct 2021
Why did you only notice me when I was almost gone?
Alexander Oct 2021
Would you care if I left and not just for the day
I feel myself slipping,
slipping away.
Alexander Oct 2021
I can’t blame you for loving her,
She’s everything I want to be
Alexander Oct 2021
Maybe at one point,
It was worth the wait,
but these words cut deeper than the blade
Alexander Oct 2021
“You’re in line.”

I fall asleep on the suicide hotline
Alexander Sep 2021
You burnt me without fire
Bruised me with just words
Twisted with my desire
Until I was begging to be yours

I remember clearly,
The day I left you behind,
The fire turned to embers
the bruises faded overnight.


These scars I still have,
but a reminder they will always serve,
while it pained me to leave you
love should never hurt
