I wish you knew...
It drives me crazy that I can't explain the infinity that is you
I wish you knew...
I can write all the words and sing while I cry but I can't express it otherwise
I wish you knew...
I can remember every color your eyes turn when they light up but I can't describe it
I wish you knew...
I just don't know how to describe the fire in the sky from the sparks in your smile
I wish you knew...
They roll their eyes and think I'm going insane
I wish you knew...
I'd do simply everything except say your name
I wish you knew...
Silence is the key and I guess that's how it'll always be
Because I know you know
There will never be a you and me

I hate when you don't post anything
Because then I can never know what you're thinking
AllAtOnce Mar 2015
It drives me crazy to know
That all the letters, words, and stanzas that I've worked through
Could never accurately describe the essence of you.

Quietly, you roam my shadows
Those of thoughts that used to be
Among dead feelings under headstones
That, thanks to you, are awakening
You leave no footprints
Where your ghostly form resides
In the crevice under my heart
And between my veins inside
I want escape; I need it
But you inject poison into me-
Blood laced with flattery and soaked in haunting memories
My head spins, as does my heart
Blurry images are all I see
I don't know who I am
And I've lost my grip on reality
I hate you; I hate you
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Pack up your syringes and needles
Because I'm to disoriented to make you go
I try to move my fingers
But I am no longer my own
Whose am I is the a question
And why can't I rule on the throne?
So this one is like a year old.

she curls her hair she paints her toes
she laughs out loud he'll never know
she smiles just a little and laughs too much
dragged down by everything that has to do with love
she hides her face she closes her eyes
and if he asked she'd have to lie
she lays down and falls asleep
knowing she'll meet him in her dreams
then see him tomorrow for real this time
maybe that will give her butterflies

two pieces of paper, covered in words
smothering both the fronts and backs
the pencil marks giving away everything you ever felt
documenting every tear and every laugh
you signed it with your cursive script
i guess nothing beats a love letter
filled with sickly sweet words
that are supposed to make things better
the only problem with this narrative
at the top there was only one word
it was a name
not mine, but hers

HE
I watched as the stars in his eyes faded away
Standing out in the snow, all alone with the mess they made
Cold and alone with no one around
His fingertips go numb and the weight of the world sends him sprawling on the ground
Every breath is so that his lungs don't explode
And his heart is beating faster as the atmosphere implodes
As the only universe he's ever known comes crashing to the ground
Along with all the love he'd thought they found
And he's wondering...
"What just happened?
Where do I go?
Will anyone love me?
And how will I know?"
So what can I do and what can I say?
I just saw him while walking home one day
Should I lend him a hand or maybe a breath?
Would he even want it when he's scared to death?
Just take my hand- I'll help you up
Let someone show you a little love
Because everything's warmer after you're cold
And nothing will be new if your feelings are old
