Everything is boring
And my dreams have never been so out of reach
I have no desire to return home without the touch and embrace of another
If only we could both stay here
Until my dreams were caught
I want to ask you so many things
If only youd take me seriously and answer my questions
I should take what I can get
Jokes and glances
But I've always wanted more
And I dont think that will change anytime soon

Apologizing
For needless things
Things I've been told are okay to do
Sorry
For saying no
Forgive me for expecting things from someone residing below the floor

For the better half of an hour
Some 24 hours ago
You sounded like you had a conscience
Like you could understand the deeper meanings of sadness, anger, and guilt
Talking philosophy
As if maybe there was a chance at happiness for us

Not necessarily beautiful
You can't always apply meaning to things like that
30 minutes listening to the sounds of a home
30 minutes of being ignored
When I had something to say
To figure out
Under pressure
And like a fragile flower in the wrong conditions
My voice died
And 30 minutes of sounds I couldnt quite understand ensued
Squid May 2020
It shouldn't have to sound beautiful for me to say it
For me to think my feelings are valid
But i cant put a frustrated sob or a tight gut into words very easily
And I cant simply say exactly what things are
It wouldnt have the same effect
The same relatability
The mystery
The same dramatic flair
Squid May 2020
It's the simplicities I hear when you're not paying me attention
That make my feelings seem like nothing
That make my questions so hard to voice
Why must I feel as if the tone of the room must be perfect
Before I can shine a light on a problem

On the phone
Drawing left handed sketches
Hearing you sing a familiar song as a joke
To no one in particular
