I waited
your figure walked away

I waited
as your hands touched my skin

I waited
For your words to match your feelings

I waited
For you to understand how to love yourself

I waited
For you to see yourself as I did

I waited
As you tried to find yourself

I waited
As you yelled at me

I waited
As you told me to go to hell

I stopped waiting
For you to love me
like I loved you
So young
So bright

Little sis
So smart
So little

Little sis
So sad
So confused

Little sis
So scarred
So abused

Little sis
Big sis is here
To protect you now

Little sis
Put down the knife
Please

I got you now
It's going to be ok
Dedicated to my little sister when she is going through hell at such a young age
One last day
One final breath
One last moment
before chaos strikes

Im a nobody today
tomorrow everyone will know me
I just might be
The one everyone wants

One last day at being me
One last day of being a nobody
One last day
Before my life changes
9 years later
Your name still comes across my lips
9 years later
The small fights we had feel like yesterday
9 years later
I'm stoll looking for what we had

And though I know
It will never happen again
I still look for that fire

Not a spark or light
No the flame that burned my heart
And taught me how to warm a home

9 years later
I still recall that name you wished for a child
9 years later
I still think of you
9 years later
I hope your happy with with your wife
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

"Hey I'm in town for a little bit, did you want to meet up? We could grab coffee or a drink, know a good bar nearby. Just let me know
miss you"

I went to the love of my life's wedding today

I listened to her say the words that i would never be able to say,
he was the object of the love that i craved.
she looked at him with the same affectionate eyes that i gazed,
he was the one hearing: "for the rest of my days".
