Lonely for you only
I would give you the world
I'd hold your hand and kiss your head
Until your stomach twirled
You're the smell after it rains
Your kisses leave stains
You're my last thought before bed
Your fingers linger in my head
Don't leave me here
With goosebumps burning from your touch
Don't leave me here
Please, I love you so much
You walked away and I just watched
Each step left a little crack
Right across my heart
My bones started to wither
My heart, again bitter
Everything I once was started to deplete
The wind scooped me up off my feet
Destroying everything we ever built
My petals started to wilt
I loved you wholly
Losing myself in you only
If only you were lonely
Petrichor- a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies after it rains

What if feelings were really all just science?
That everything we feel is actually genetic
That would mean
Every awful feeling was meant to be
All that we do, all that we see
We were meant to be
Exactly where we are
That would mean our mistakes
Aren't mistakes at all
We were made to be exactly
What we are
Happy, scared, stressed, and sad
Genetics would make it seem less bad
What if science was really all we had?
All the heartache and pain
All the decisions that we've made
Everything we are would make sense
But this is merely a myth
Hypophrenia-  A feeling of sadnes seemingly without a cause
also I'm reposting this with a new title that seems more fitting

The length of your recovery
Is determined by the extent of your injuries
So how do you determine a broken heart?
How would you start?

How do you determine painful wonders?
Is it counted in numbers?
How do you determine someone's injuries,
if they're all just miseries?
It may just be one of those mysteries

How do you cure
A hundred years of heartache
Do you lie for their sake?
Tell them everything is just make or break?

How do you determine someone's emotional trauma?
Deep down inside they're just ready to hide
In their heart they already feel like they've died

So what kind of recovery would you suggest?
If you knew all their troubles, what would you assess?
For someone so lost, for someone so stressed
*What kind of recovery would they possess?

I love your smile
and your corny jokes
I love when you're sleepy
and the way you never boast
But there is one thing
that I love most-

I'm sorry
I'm much too engrossed
You're not ready for this road
Too scared to tell you
How I feel
Afraid I'll **** it up
My feelings are too surreal
You love her
And I can't be that girl

Maybe one day
I won't be such a coward
I'll work up the courage,
feel empowered
But until that day I have one wish
Won't you leave me
*one last kiss?

I crave a home that doesn't exist
A place I've never seen, how could it be missed?
Maybe covered in sunflowers and caught amidst
Please drag me there, drag me by my wrist


I wonder what it's like to feel at home
To feel wanted and never alone
Maybe it's warm and by the ocean
Maybe it's dark and golden


It could smell of peonies or red roses
It could taste of sugar and your broken proposes
Just a home full of moments
A home for a poet


But this home is impossible to obtain
For everything is done in vain
Just need somewhere to rid me of this pain
I'm sorry this is so hard to explain

We go back and forth
We're down south then we're up north
My scale's all out of wack
Please don't leave, please come back?

Don't you know balance is what I need most?
You had my heart, it's only host
I love you so much, won't you give me a dose?
With you as mine I'd have all reason to boast

I adore you so and I know I'm no good with words
But I'll try and do better if you give me another turn
When it get's too hot and they're afraid to burn
They fly up north and never miss a turn
When they get too cold and miss the sun
Back down south is where they return
With you I am just like the birds
Only my missing you is much more stern
This was inspired by my sign. I'm a Libra, always searchin for love & balance

You were an escape artist
And I your favorite trick
You'd spin me
around and around and around
Then leave me with no gift

But still I can't let you go
You've hurt me more
than anyone I know
Love is so addicting
You I shouldn't be missing

For your final trick
You'd make me disappear
You called her up
"I missed you, my dear"
She's your new pick



*now I'll be quick
