we play the waiting game
every day it seems
waiting for you to get better
waiting for you to become the mother
waiting for you to make a life that i fit into

i’m sick of being an extra piece
that can so easily be forgotten
or swept under the rug like
dirt

so i’m sorry for being okay enough to let go
when i wanted you to hold me
i’ve waited long enough
spent my entire life in line
now i’m just tired
title is from the song "Leader of the Landslide" by The Lumineers

Stay your tongue to save discomfort
Stay your tongue and lose forever
The chance to speak of whatever it was
No forever lasts forever

Running can be a listening stream
In the Springtime a bubbling eternity  
Just as crashing can be an Autumn dream
Falling like a Winter spell over me

This one is real. Very real.

The Vision - A Bubbling Stream In The Back of Penns Woods
Closed eyes and curled over
Shaking violently
The whole world
Is getting too close

Vibrations push
And cover
My emotions
All over

Till I explode
And release
A burst
Of hurt

Broke but beautiful, full of dreams.
Endearing and Adorable Selfless
as she seems.

In a complete darkness,she's a ray of light
She'd fall out of Clumsiness
But would always hold your hand tight.

Never would she let a frown come
on your face .
She'd always be around
whenever you need someone to embrace.
Her presence is what makes life Perfect
Her absence is always the hardest to neglect.

supports your dreams, helps you acquire.

She's a best friend.
She's a mother.
She's a wife.
She's a sister.

I may always be me

Every Single day feels like a struggle to get through,
and Every Single day I am just surviving and not living.

I need a hug from someone who doesn't feel sorry for me.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any left.

i flatter myself, thinking every word you ever wrote was inspired by me
i know they weren't
but i can't stop rereading and wondering
hoping
i'm not crying
