are you really looking down on me?
...that's what they say
but I wonder,
how could you ever love me this way?

are you proud of me?
...that's my question day after day
because I wonder,
how could you ever enjoy seeing me this way?

are you okay?
...that's what I yearn to know
when I wonder,
how could you miss me when you're so far away?

the truth is, I have so many questions
but I don't know where to go
I want to know you
but I'm just too low

where are you?
if you're not here to catch my tears

where are you?
when the chill travels my skin

where are you?
if you're not here to teach me to breathe

where are you?

what happened to you and me?

/I forgot that feeling
when pen scratches paper &
words seem to have a mind of their own

I forgot how easy it is
to create, to dream

Its been so long...
I know I'm going to need to write again\

with
skin as cold as ice
eyes as dark as night
and a mind as loud as a siren
I need to muster enough strength
to continue this fight

It's always been the way you look at things
determines how things are
so why do you expect things to stay the same when
you've changed the direction you're looking?

look at me now
what you see- that's how you'll identify me
look at me upside down
I'm never going to be the same

.... it's logic he tells me,
and I think he could not be more right.

we can't compare our love to an elegant rose
or a cheerful sunflower
not even the weeds in the grass can signify our lows

our love is a tornado
its strong and its scary
one minute its there the next minute its gone

we can't map our love on a piece of paper
or track it over our skin

our love is an invisible squiggle
its meant to never be seen
and its destined to end

our love,
probably,
is not even shared between us

I know you're leaving me soon
& I'm suffocating
just the mention of your name
& I'm in tears
they show me your picture
& I'm desperate for forever

please don't go
I don't want to miss you
