"It's late in the night
3:08
filled with hate
thought it was fate
turns out it's all fake
I still wait
for what? oh I wish I knew
flying feelings over the moon"

"It's late in the night

flying feelings over the moon"

"I met you in a world full of screens,
Just pixels, right? Or so t seems.
Yet somehow, through the silent space
You cared a home inside my days."
  
"We swapped our jokes, our dreams, my fear.
A stranger once, now someone dear.
I love you but it's hard to accept,
Was it all just part of the bet?"

"I long to hold you close, my dear,  
To feel your heartbeat, soft and near.  
A gentle touch, a warm embrace,  
To find my peace within your space."  

"The world could fade, the time could cease,  
In your arms, I'd find my peace.  
A quiet solace, hearts entwined,  
In that moment, love defined."  

"A simple wish, a deep desire,  
To pull you close, to spark a fire.  
To feel your warmth, to never part,  
To hold you close and heal my heart."

"In your embrace, I’d find my home,  
No longer lost, no more alone.  
A place where time and worries cease,  
Held in your arms, I’d find my peace."

They said, "Be mature, you're our only daughter,  
We have expectations, don't drift any farther."  
Not knowing how they crushed each hope she had,  
And left her heart empty, forever sad.  

They told her to act like a child, to play,  
But when could she? She was forced to obey.  
Left alone in a house that was dark and cold,  
She grew strong, but her heart turned old.  

They said, "You're tough, don't cry over pain,  
These little scratches are nothing to explain."  
Not seeing she'd grow, hurting deep inside,  
Where pain was a secret, she could never hide.  

She thought it was fine, that it was okay,  
She still does it now, though it hurts every day.  
Punished for things that she'd never done,  
Now she repeats it when the day is done.  

She was invincible, or so they believed,  
But deep down, she was neglected, deceived.  
Never loved, just a little girl.

always
Always the poet never the poem
Always the thinker never the thought
Always the singer never the song
Always the third never the first
Always the reader never the story
Always the one who longs for never the one who is longed for
Always the shadow never the light  
Always the question never the answer  
Always the dreamer never the dream  
Always the wanderer never the place  
Always the heartache never the peace  
Always the yearning never the embrace  
Always the echo never the sound  
Always the hope that’s never found.
