What is it like
To be you
When they fall over
But you can't hold on

You play it cool
As you strum your guitar
And music fills the room
And that's why I'll always
Look up to you

What is it like
To take a step in your shoes
But there's too much to fill
When they are two sizes too big

Trapped in our own worlds
That we can't escape
Wondering what fate decides
But everyone knows
That curiosity killed the cat

What is it like
When you look at me
Who am I to you
Did you ever think of me as a friend?
Originally, me and this person were going to do an art trade, but for some reason that didn't end up happening, and instead I asked if I could write something instead. For some reason the end paragraph makes it seem kind of romantic, and wow that was not my intent at all. I still haven't received my piece of art though haha
For those who didn't make it
And couldn't handle
When the cruel world
Came crashing down upon them
_______________

When the time came
That you fantasies ended
And reality
Showed its ugly face

They hurt you
When all you wished for was peace
And the daylight
Seemed so far out of reach

They said to stay strong
And they told you to fight
When you had nothing left
When you couldn't find
Anything
To fight for

Because it's just a problem
Something to fix
Just give them some pills
And make them talk

Shallow words
Give little comfort
When all they say is
e v e r y t h i n g   w i l l   b e   o k ay

They told you to stay strong
And they told you to fight
When you had nothing left
When you couldn't find
Anything
To fight for

Everyone just needs time
They said
But it was already too late
To save you
Tribute
The long nights
We spent together
Cradled
In each other's arms

A laugh we shared
We could only wish
That summer
Would never end

I had known from the start
I loved you
We watched the sunset
Together

The sand in your hair
The smile on your face
My worries faded
With each word you spoke

But I saw the way you looked at her
When you thought I wasn't around
When I saw the sparkle in your eyes
That's when I began to cry

Do you not love me
My dear
I always thought you were the one
Who would settle all my fears

So now I wonder
Will we ever stay the same
Will you remember me
When summer ends again
Won first place in a writing contest, the theme was summer.
It's really old, but I really like how I did the last two lines
I need to leave here
It's too intoxicating
It's too distracting
I come here too often

Everyone who became
A big part of my life
Has left
Except for you
You're still here

But why?

We linger on in this world
Of dreams
I waited for your words

I checked
And I checked again
This empty feeling
Here is where it began



Searching for purpose
Waiting for someone to realize
That I'm here
I've been watching

When you are excited
And when you cry
I want to talk
But I don't know how or why

We used to be so close
The world
So lively to me
Even though your face was never seen

You meant the world to me
You were always on my mind
But now you are gone
I don't know
If it's even worth it to try

In the past I reached out
With only a simple response
In return
Because before
You were a friend
Who I could count on till the end

But now I wonder
Do you remember me?
Do you know that I am still here
Longing for you to speak
To me
Late at night
Or in the day
I don't care
If it's lighthearted or deep
You were the last one left
But then you turned away

It's not your fault
Our lives moved on
It's different no
Perhaps I'm the one
In the wrong

So I say goodbye
With little grace
Because I still see you
And even if you don't find me
I will always find you
Cant tell if this is a poem or a vent
You taught me to love
You taught me to smile
But you couldn't even stay
All but a while
Loud

Too loud

One Breath

Now Another



Red

Blue

Red

Blue



My lungs strained to breathe through this fiery hell

I can hear their screams now

Too late

It’s much too late now









Your eyes

Your eyes

No

That’s not it



It never was





Lying

Stop lying to me

I know you didn’t

You never did



It’s fun

It’s fun

But then you left





I can’t help

I can’t help but wonder

Why

Why you left me?



Caught

Red-Handed

You lie so easy



You know

I know

Can’t change

Can’t change



So stop

Just stop

Never listened

Never cared



So stop

Just stop

Can’t hear

Can’t hear you anyway



Eyes

Eyes

But they aren’t yours

It’s a light

It’s a lie

It’s all over now
trying a new style
I’m over the moon

Falling for you

But I’m still stuck here

Daydreaming about you



I saw you standing

Up high in your tower

So why can't I be

Your knight in shining armor



If goldilocks found

the perfect porridge

Then why can’t I be

The right one for you



And jack climbed his beanstalk

But I’m grounded on earth

For your heart is the dragon

That I must slay



And peter pan

Took the kids to neverland

But I’m still dreamin

Of the things we won’t have



If goldielocks found

The perfect porridge

Then why can’t I be

The right one for you



So let’s just live

You and I

Just the two of us

In our own fairytale
