I write our names in the sand
Wishing for your happiness
Wherever that may be.

We were only kids
You always played the hero
And I watched, with one hand on my heart

Even when the ocean washed away,
The evidence of us.
I never stopped trying to touch the stars

And have never stopped chasing my dreams.

Even though you don't play hero anymore
I continue to keep my hand over my heart
Praying, to God, to bring you back to me.

Butterflies scare me
They are too unpredictable

Kind of like you.

Just when I think
That maybe. (Just maybe.)

You have decided to let me inch closer

You flutter away
In this beautiful way

That leaves me still hoping

Even though I am now farther than where I started

But I continue to chase after you
With my heart as a net

Open and waiting for unpredictable you.

There is a box under the bed
Each person owns

Some are ***** with
Lies

Or stained with
Tears

The blessed ones are full of
Laughter

And lovingly cared for
Through even the worst of disasters

All in all
There is still a box

That each person owns
Under the bed

Now, we will walk
The school hallways
Side by side

In the middle of the night
Where silence is at its loudest
And the moon continues to shine down

Creating shadows
And making them caress the walls  
Answering our unspoken questions

"Is this what love feels like?"

We feel important
And powerful
In the dark

Our faces are hidden
But it is okay
We do not need to see, to know.

There are unspoken oaths here
Only the walls can hear

*"Don't you dare, break my heart."

**** it up
Because that is all you can do now

Give it all you have
Because it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better

Go with one foot in front of the other
Because you can not afford to fall

Not anymore.

Keep your fists clenched and your heart bitter
Because no one's going to break down the walls you so hastily put forth

Not anymore.


Keep your head held high
Because looking up at the sky is so much better

Take a hold of what hurts most and toss it to the wind
Because living a life of regrets, is like not living at all

It is a world where everything is against you
Because compared to them, you are nothing but a ripple in the puddles
Of spring rain.

But, not anymore.

I want eyes like glitter
And lips like gold
A voice full of thunder
Nothing more

For him to take me away
And give me beautiful disasters
He who brings me to my knees
And makes life worth living once more

I took him away from you
I will admit, it was wrong of me

I may have lied to your face
And told you we were best friends

I kissed him behind your back
Literally

Shouldn't you be thanking me?
If it was not with me, it would have been some other ****

I seduced him
As easy as cutting a knife through warm butter

Shouldn't you be mad at yourself
Were you not the one who could not keep him?

Oh but look at the bright side?
You were taught an important lesson today..

To watch that back of yours, you never know when someone may decide to stick a knife in it.

Oh...you mad,  bro?
