A broken wing fallen so long.
Forgot what it feels like to be home.
Now all that's left is an anguish moan.

I want to text you,
    I love you. . .  
        only to delete it , rewrite it and delete it again.
              In an endless cycle of words I can not express.
when the bars close down
I walk through a silent town...

an open window
a song is playing...

and you whisper in my ear
telling me everything
I long to hear

you chase me with your Cheshire cat smile
know all my failings

you come to me in sleep
and in sleep I hold you in my arms

such sweet lies
this crazy blue night
Parents give us life
Then their life to us
And finally one day
they desire to see
their life in us.

We chased a feeling
not a reality

We both wanted someone
So desperately
that we found each other

Even though no part of
us
worked

Our pieces didn’t fit together
so we pressed and jammed them
until they were stuck
and stayed that way
Until
we broke

You took away parts of me that I will never get back
And I'm working ******* being okay with that.
And everything
Had happened
The way they promised
It wouldn’t.

Loveless
And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't

she is a happy ending,
not everyone can wait for.
