The one is
One whom with you can have
On a regular basis
A conversation
That feels
Epic
That Boy

most people can exist like
a rubber ball;
floating, bobbing around in the water,
unaffected, intact.

i exist like
a paper boat;
floating fraily,
until I wither and sink.
Into the blue.

I am trapped here,
within the confines
of you.

This metal cage
you have me locked in,
your protection...

It's smothering me,
killing me,
sending me to my grave.

You seem to have lost the key somewhere
in your belief that you are right.
and that I am wrong.

"live! live!" you cry, whilst
i sit here, dying.
because this is killing me

I could be cliche,
tell you why the caged bird sings,
because of her dreams and hopes.

that despite her hardships,
she's happy, because she
still can sing

but what good will it do
if the caged bird only lies
and cries in her bed at night
when no one can hear her

The truth is
the caged bird dies
every time, because
she never learns to fly.
I need to make my own mistakes, I need to make my own decisions, I need to live my life instead of just witnessing it.

Hands on thighs,
And spinning lies;
You got exactly what
You came for.

Literally.
Figuratively.
Methaphorically.
Truthfully.

Phot­os abound
When I’m not around
And my friends are
Using my phone.

Bizarre.
Unwanted.
Unneeded.
Strange.

I told you once, twice, thrice,
Yet you still roll those dice.
You’re a terrible gambler
Bad timing yet no tells.

So now I need new locks
So I don’t have to see your...//BLOCKED\\
Give a girl more warning
Next time please.

Lately, I find you in the most astounding things,
I find you in my music, in the songs you’ve shown me, or that remind me of you.
I find you in my poetry, both romantic and dreary.
I find you in my artwork, the ones that you’ve made me or I’ve bought.
I find you in the people I meet, who say things that remind me of us, of you.
I find you in my twinkle lights at 1 am, flickering away at my heart,
Sending a series of morse code only the two of us might understand.
SOS
I’m drowning in the reminders of you.
I find you everywhere

Let's write a story
of you and I,
and all the things
we whisper at night

Our hopes and dreams
the castle we'll own
when we leave this town
to make it on our own

The jobs we'll have
the people we'll meet
the shop we'll own
on an odd and quirky street

You'll be the chef,
I'll be the waitress,
I'll let you be the boss sometime
if I'm feeling so gracious

Then a few years pass by
all is going well
Out of the blue you're on one knee
Enchanting me with your spell.

The wedding is oh so beautiful
sending guests home in awe
After the honeymoon,
the emotions are still so raw

We save and we save
till we're blue in the face
Till we buy our first home
filled with gorgeous green landscape

And then we'll have kids
no gender preffered
They'll grow up surrounded
By love and and kindly words

And they'll write their own story
with someone special they meet
They'll start a brand new book,
the journeys all they need

I'll spend the rest of mine with you
till I'm fresh out of ink
because this life will pass you by
within a simple blink.
