You don't have to go back
I wouldn't want you to
I know, deep down you aren't that person anymore
And who you are now is what you were always meant to be
But I will never forget the day I found you
Ha..
As though something so great could possibly be undiscovered.
No, you were known
And I was simply to blind
Too ignorant to your existence
But my eyes were opened
To see the stars blazing in yours
as you achieved something
something that at the time you believed to be greatness
I don't know what you think about that day now
I don't even know you
But I know everything is changing.
What we can do now is far different
from what we could do back then
But I will always look fondly on the day
that you achieved
18:10

I used to chase you
now I chase my *****

with lime

Armstrong landed
Icarus burned
Some find love
Some just hurt...

everyone.

Cloaked in a tapestry of evening sky
I dim my light to hide amongst the masses
If only for one night

I hate that life is something to escape

Like we're all animals born in captivity

Itching to slip between the grooves of our skin

Wanting to go home, without knowing where home is

And trying our best

Our very best

To enjoy the temporary things

As we drift down but a small creek

Within time's vast infinity

Though both were born of cosmic flame
They fought too much for both were the same
And so they split night from day
So the other may always have their way...

But the cosmic ties that bond their hearts
Could never truly be pulled apart
So once in a blue moon, and every other red sun
The sky becomes dark...and the two become one.

She gave me her keys and I drove her insane
Its no wonder she took the car and changed her name
Now I'm taking busses and hailing cabs with no destination in mind
Wishing I could just go home to you.

Dawn to each other, we overlap
A darkness the world waited to see

Now they wait, again, for another show
While I simply await your return to me.

Caterpillars evolve into butterflies
And my pen will soon stop writing your name
Life is hard but the one constant
is that nothing ever stays the same.

"Sometimes you have to be cold in order to be safe"
And that's just what I'll do
Cloaked in snow
Memories in tow
I'll forge this path anew

You're upset because I don't like you,
but I'm just playing the game.
I've learned from the best
and now the rest
will surely learn the same.

You ask him if he loves you
And in his silence you are torn apart
For your love is just a run-on sentence
And a question mark is just half of a heart

I've hit you up so many times
My veins collapse and still I find
another to shoot what you now sparingly give
You say you're dry, but I know I'm just not your type

of customer

I break again to be mended differently
But everything's the same
There's nothing that can fix me
And somehow I'm to blame

I am so much more than what I see
I just wish that was something I could truly believe.

My love for you is parasocial
But I swear we knew each other once before

Your lips are like ***** on ice
I'll sip on your bitter disposition
For as long as you make me feel warm inside

Promises promises,
broken like bones;
Jarring, jagged and painful.

Never will I ever know
why I wasn't worth it.

Its unfair to be born the way I am,

But I can't claim to be good at card games,

If I'm unable to play the hand I was dealt.

We will never be satisfied
When we get what we want
Always longing for something
Just beyond our reach
Building bridges out of bloodshed
Just to get to the other side
Only to find that another
Lost, greedy soul
Made it here first

And now you want what they have too.

I've vanished friends like fogotten shipwrecks for the treasures that lay within.

I plant wildflowers in the empty spaces
The places you left behind
Knowing that you'll never return
But hoping that when I'm old
The heather will help me remember
What was once there
And the love that always will be.
