I swim in sorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
He said he loved me
Wish this couldn’t be

We made a pact
“Love you to the moon and back.”
What the hell does that mean?
You were just too keen

My heart holds on
My mind is drawn
But you destroyed it
Out stupid ”love” *******

You think I care?
You stripped me bare
And yet I do
“You love him” they coo

Love you to the moon and back
What did we lack?
I don’t know
Someday it’ll show

In order to live, I must die
In order to learn, I must lose my mind
In order to feel, I must lose them all
In order to listen, I must learn to not
In order to speak, I must be silent
In order to sing, I must forget to talk
In order to write, I must be still
In order to see, I must be blind
In order to smile, I must cry
I’m a walking irony, who can only learn to fly

A pencil in hand
Mind full of sand
You sit without a thought
Stomach in a knot

Your mind is blank
An empty, hazy fishtank
The sounds of the old house
Envy the sounds of the mouse

The clock stopped turning
Your ideas, never returning
The blank page sits
Almost ready to call it quits

Writer’s block
Devil’s lock
The colors back to monochrome
The worst kind of syndrome
