I did cry
For so many days
So why must I lie?

Felt like an empty house
With squealing doors
Can you be here, once more?

They say I'll find somebody else,
That it'll take time,
But I'll be just fine

A few more years
And I'll forget we ever met,
He'll caress me -take away my fears

My body aches in pain
Only you could take away
But hey, there's nothing left to say

I hope I never see you again
As long as I live
For I have –with me, nothing to give

Your love,
Is the surreal of all,
Make me wonder if I'm high,
Or is it making me fall?

Hush! Don't spill -
The words in your mouth,
In your world, the Sun rises from North,
Sets in South,

It's been so long since you left,
I've already died through the sweater weather,
If you ask me how have I been,
I'ld say,  Never been better

I shall think of you -unapologetically
Even when I die,
My bones will remain,
And the silence will make you cry
Annie Mar 2018
Wait –
Don't you do it
Don't you dare
Sing that beating heart to sleep in your despair

Can you come with me?
Look into my eyes
See
Your existence, shining like a billion fireflies

Talk to me
Stay for the night
We'ld get high on caffeine
You can sob a little -I might

There's so much yet
For you to discover here
All the glorious things
You could unravel with your soul -all bare

Your grace, one day
Will shine brighter
If only you can see
You're not insignificant -but a fighter

You do not need anyone
Or anything at all
If only you could
Just stop waiting for that 'call'
Annie Mar 2018
To all those times,
I was left to cry,
Standing behind the shadow,
For I was too shy,

Too many times I almost believed,
I could be somebody else,
Reach the stars,
Ring the holy bells,

I was brought down to reality,
Each year –another turmoil,
You say, "Act like a good girl."
Oh but I am only going to spoil,

My sins, my pieces,
You never will understand, you won't
In ten years I see myself alone,
All the memories yet linger to haunt,

I don't expect anyone to love me,
To stay,
The home I've been looking for,
See, within me, it'll survive

Alone, I'll be just fine,
Get away from this hopeless town,
I'll go very, very far away,
Far enough – just to never be found
Annie Mar 2018
We met in the dark light
Too many stars
But no spotlight

You told me I look good in color
Said "Your soul isn't dark"
So you came to see me in brown leather

Held my hand as if you'ld never leave
Broke every promise
Wasn't there a single one you could keep?

I told you once or maybe twice
I'm strong enough not to be needy
So you started off by playing nice

You had me looking like a fool
Made me think I'm weak
You say you care? Who??

My home is within me
Leave as if you were never here
I'm unbreakble, now can you see?
Annie Mar 2018
"Are you fine?"
Please don't ask me
I know I have been laughing
Dying at the same time, underneath

If only anyone could see,
The fire in my eyes,
How you make my heart race,
Fill my head with fireflies

I'm blinded by my own strength,
So I don't look weak,
Always tell you I'm okay,
Try to stand on my own feet

You make it so hard,
For me to love you,
When I try to come closer,
You make me look like a fool

Heaven is with you, my love
But so is hell,
Even if I'm leaving today,
I'll be here, still wishing you well

I know it's unreal
But so are you
I love some, and you're among the few

I hate the way
You look at me
As if there's nobody else but "we"

But it's only when
I catch you starring
That I feel like finally someone is caring

I wonder what it feels like
To be young
To have someone become your heart and your lungs

How do I tell you?
That you seem like my only home
A flower growing from a seed I hadn't sown

And even if we don't talk
I know you'll be here
I know that I'll have your love in rare
