they say you shouldn't hold on to the past

the thing is, you were always the future

I wonder how many of us
Would cure our loneliness
And depression,
Heavy nights of silent tears,
If it meant we would never write
A truly heartfelt poem again.
Phia Sep 2016
If sadness were as potent as alcohol or drugs
Before I met you
I would've been wasted all the time
And high as a kite.
Phia Sep 2016
Think of all the things we could accomplish
And all the things we could be
If we stopped seeing life as a competition
And started believing and working
Together.
Phia Sep 2016
Oh the things we do for love.
We go to war,
We ****,
We lie,
We steal,
We cheat.
But one of the saddest of all
Is we try to be someone everyone else loves
Rather than loving ourselves.
Phia Sep 2016
I need to understand
That just because the timing was perfect for me
Doesn't mean it was perfect for you.
And no matter how hard I pray
There may never be a perfect time
For us.

Fly
Oh me, oh my, taken these broken wings and fly.
