Tell me your secrets
Tell me your sorrow
All of your regrets
Your dreams of tomorrow
If I asked you to stay
What would you say
Would you tell me right away
Or make it a game we play

You let the wrong people love you
when you cry you need my comfort
I drop everything to come over
Don't bite your lip or grit your teeth
Just count to ten and try to breath
The perfect one for you is me

"I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, i want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so f*in' special, I wish I was special"

A bird in a cage
i thought you were made for me
live in black and white

She is my luck, my success
She is my purity, my hope.
She acts as my protection
and shields me from those
who hurt
she is my
beautiful
tiger lily.

I wish I lacked empathy.
I don’t want to feel.
I don’t want to see signs.
I don’t want to be real.

One minute, I’m fine—
then my soul explodes in my chest.
I wish I didn’t see that.
But I did. And now, no rest.

I wish I could shrug,
say “that’s not my concern,”
but every flicker of pain
Causes my stomach to hurt.

I notice the silence,
the shift in your tone—
there's nothing in your voice
It's all I think about alone.

This is why I'm standoffish and stick to just me
There's no ache in loneliness
At least not the kind that stings

Maybe I'll make friends but that feels like betrayal
These self imposed rules- a safe fortress failure

I wish I didn’t feel
At least not to this extent
My day was going so good
But I ruined it again

A love I held, a love I kept,
I wanted fire, a burning grace,
A mirrored passion in your face.

I offered all, a boundless sea,
And waited for that reciprocity.
But silence met my yearning plea.

I shouldn't have to spell it out,
We could have soared, beyond all doubt.
