"Wait for me", she said to him
"I will wait for you, baby", he answered

And they keep on waiting
Trusting the love
Keeping faith on God
No distance
No time
Nothing
Nothing can stop them
Nothing can change their hearts

One day, all dreams will come true
She is for him
He is for her
God made them feel
What is destiny
Love love love

The love is lost
only hurt remains
at too high a cost
it drives you insane.
Your heart yearns for love
but all your mind holds is rage
and when push comes to shove
they're never on the same page.
Once you're together
that "love" has run dry
though you say forever
it's nothing but lies.
Yet as soon as he's gone
all you want is him back
you admit that you were wrong
then the process reenacts.
This is a rather old piece, probably written 4 years ago when I was still fighting myself and involved on and off romantically with my best friend. This pretty much explains how my mind seemed to think around the situation, despite the fact that I had realized that I do only like girls; I was fighting my own self and hurting him in the process.

i made staircases out of these bones
too young and too fast, the same way
you came and the same way you left.
in those days these lungs were oceans;
this ribcage was sinking. i only wanted
to let the waves wash over, to forget you,
to dissolve me.

we made homes in stairwells when
the light still leaked through the leaves,
when it still spilt orange over faded green.
the times when i was your sky and you
electric blue, the times the strawberries
seeped into your skin; how the cuts
on your fingers made me want to heal
you when i could only
love you more.

but maybe even after all these years
your fingerprints are still etched into me;
i will always carry your hands
in my own.

The things that I see
The things that I hear
He's cowering in the corner
She's crying behind the bathroom door
It's not right what they do
They yell and call names
They beat and humiliate
They feed off the weak and broken
Find your voice
Say what you wish
Don't let them hold you back
Speak what you believe
The things that I see
The things that I hear
He's holding a gun
She's screaming for help
It's not right what they do
They cut and they bleed
They pop and they fall
They fall apart before your eyes
Find your voice
Say what you wish
Don't let them hold you back
Speak what you believe
The things that I see
The things that I hear
He's lying there dead
Her screams have silenced
It's not right what they did
They cried and they cursed
They broke and they wrote
They fell into the praying hands of others
Find your voice
Say what you wish
Don't let them hold you back
Speak what you believe
The things that I see
The things that I hear
His life thrown away
Her prayers gone unanswered
It's not right what happened
They fought and lost
They begged and got ignored
They were lost to ignorance and rage
Say what you wish
Find your voice
It might save them
Stop bullying. It ends in tragedy. He took his own life. She was beaten by people who used to pick on her. Find your voice and speak
I'm lost in your eyes
drowning away
Don't worry about me
I don't want to be saved
