he asks me why
she screams at me
they just watch
and i just wait

eventually he will stop asking
and her voice will die out
there eyes will grow tired
and I'll be alone

just like i was meant to be

we're sitting surrounded by the white walls
counting our breaths
feet explore the beige tile
as our eyes climb the walls

they come in
gripping there manila folders
expressions grim

they tell us there's a crack
not lining our skin
no its inside
and every minute
its delving deeper

and they say sooner or later
our bodies wont keep up
no its a force we cant control

they leave us
gone from these white walls
only leaving us with the news

and we're alone again
with only the thoughts of how
each minute
we lose a little more of our self
each second we're breaking

our love was like sunburn
so hot
it kept us tossing and turning at night

our love only bloomed during the summer
when the days were the longest
and our hours spent conjoined, limbs entangled in one another

then it would eventually start to fade
we spoke less words to one another
till the burn was simply gone
and our love was shed

ready for a new layer of skin

a new 'you' to invest in
under the sun
beneath the stars

but, i won't forget
those summers when our burn
ached the most
it was all our love

Stuck inside a dark room
I'm dying for a breath of air
I'm not letting myself out

I want everyone to know my secrets
yet I can't open my mouth

when they look inside my eyes i want them to feel my pain
yet I avert my gaze to the ground

I want to stand up to all my demons
yet I don't have the strength to get out of this haze

we're back to walks during the noon hour
hands linked
you make sure to be one step ahead
we're in a cafe
pizza slices between the two of us
your cutting my slice in tiny pieces
we're in the car driving fast
going up a hill
you and I anticipate for the depart down
we're together
always
in my memories
I just wish we're together in soul

Cigarettes threaten your lungs, but your love threatens my heart.

her gaze was that of a baby deer
and all around, hunters
rifles pointed straight at her
ready to blow

flee
that's all she had to do

and
in those moments
her legs forgot how to move
each step the hunter took closer
pounded

but she didn't get shot
mother was always there to scream
make sure she got out safe

its only when the leaves crunch beneath her feet
the sun settled ahead
she wondered

one day shes gonna run out of time

and her shortcomings will be the laugh of the game
