Look, dude.
I'm not here for you.
You have dibs,
That's only fair.
You were first,
But let me share.
Don't read mine,
I won't read yours.
None of it mattered
At all, of course.
It won't stick.
Nothing does.
Fleeting interest.
Kind of like us.

And in times of great distress I find myself wondering
If you found true love in your mistress?

She came in and took your heart,
She walked by and her scent lured you, but she was unwelcome.

Like candy in a van,
Like candelabras to a modern home.

Acrylic to canvas,
Adding a color and vibrancy that was not there before.

And, like a thief with gold and no intention,
Another abyss she was, and she aimed to take you with no purpose.

Now you are hers alone but she won't have you,
And now you are chasing to keep something which was never meant to be yours.

Her lure is gone,
Her scent eradicated,

Don't come running back,
Don't even think about it.

You left,
You made the choice.

You chose Miss Trespasser.

Here in our garden
I planted you some flowers
They’re blooming for you

Why is silence so loud?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
I can.
If you can't you probably don't understand.
It's louder than you could possibly imagine.
It's like nails on a chalkboard.
It hurts your ears and makes you cringe.

Too
Sometimes I feel a little too happy
A little too intense
For no particular reason at all
And it scares me
Because I feel like I might explode
That the blood pumping through my heart is building pressure
And I know it is unsustainable
I know that I am burning a little too bright
And I am scared that the world will catch on fire
Or that something will happen to extinguish my light

Sad sad girl
When will you smile?
Sad sad girl
When will you laugh?
Sad sad girl
Does your cheek not crinkle?
Do your lips not widen?
Do your eyes not wrinkle?
Sad sad girl
Are you not tired?
Are you not done?
Is it not enough?
Sad sad girl
Do you not miss being happy?
Is your heart not tired?
Is your mind not uneasy?
Sad sad girl
Is he worth it?
"Yes"
Are you sure?
"Yes"
Okay then
Sad sad girl
I hope you'll be fine
I hope you'll smile
I hope you'll laugh
Sad sad girl
Chin up
Wipe your tears
Pretend to be fine
No one will know the difference
And maybe one day you'll believe it too
And you'll be fine

do not hold
hands that do not fear
losing yours.
