I cannot turn back clocks
Nor can I travel through time
So I smile when I think back
Not because you made me happy
But because I survived days darker than night
I have lived through horrors worse than those on screens
I have loved more than characters in books
And I have cried rivers longer than those surrounded by lovers

So I can smile really knowing that not all storms last through the night.
And I am alright.

It isn't you,
It's me.

I have said it time and again.
Each time more relevant than the last.

Because it really was me.
My overthinking.
My trust issues.
My insecurities.

I know there are prettier girls out there.
They all want you.
And I don't even want myself...


So why should you?

Hello?
Hi.
Who is this?
It is you.
It is me?
Yes, I am you just a few years from now.
What do you want?
To tell you this is not the way.
But, what other way is there?
Not his way.
But, what else, what other way?
Your way, the door way, any way but this.
Will it hurt?
Not as much as his way does.
But, what else, what other way?
The better way, leave a letter way, any way but this .
But what if he follows?
He will, but you can be strong, I know it.
But, what else, what is my way?
The strong way, do things wrong way, any way but his.
But, what if I can't?
What if I don't?

Come find me here
I'm over here
With locks of fire red

Come find me here
I'm over here
Eyes lifeless and dead

Some nights I fight
Others I fall
If only you were here
To pull me through it all

I found myself in the baron lands
Of love

The darkness screams my name
Behind the whites of my eyes
And I cannot escape
I am trapped
Every night is the same
It sticks to my pupils
As though it had been drawn
Not all art IS art
Dark follows me during day
I cannot escape
And he loved me
He tells me
Every night
Behind my lids
I just laugh
Every
Time
I cannot escape
I cannot escape
I CANNOT ESCAPE
But I did
Long ago
