Citrus
Elena Lee Aug 2021
I tear the citrus in half
Pearls of juice running down my shirt
But something about the pieces taste a little bit off
Just like the memories of you in my head

High Places
Elena Lee Aug 2021
I know friends in high places
And you only go to high places
I know you don't care what people think
But you sure could've thought about me

Jasmine
Elena Lee Dec 2020
The smell of my perfume is on your favourite jersey
Faint notes of jasmine and secrecy
The taste of my lips is locked in your memory
And the sound of my laugh is lost in your reverie

How Can I Sleep?
Elena Lee Oct 2020
Happiness can look but it'll never find me
Sadness is my home
A punching fist always seems to hit me
And bruises my bones

How can I sleep
When I don't have peace?
I've got a war in my head
And I'm losing
How can I sleep
Without a victory?
Fighting soldiers are found dead
I'm losing

Happiness can look but it'll never find me
Sadness hides me away
And my demons always seem to get me
They darken my day

How can I sleep
When I don't have peace?
I've got a war in my head
And I'm losing
How can I sleep
Without a victory?
Fighting soldiers are found dead
I'm losing

Shipwreck
Elena Lee Oct 2020
Stuck on a white sandy shore
Waves knocking on my door
Cold and hurt with broken bones
I've never had a place to call home
I'm still a shipwreck after all this time

Stuck under water, challenger deep
You won't find me, I've got secrets to keep
Darkness and rot covers every inch of my skin
Time is gone, I don't know how long it's been
I'm still a shipwreck after all this time

— The End —
