My hands are shaking
Tears run down my cheeks
How my body is aching
Feeling so defeat

Hold me closer to you
I can feel your heartbeat
If only you knew
How this feeling could be so sweet

Be with me now
It's me who should be afraid
I'm sorry for being so loud
I never meant to push you away

Too anxious to tell you
what's going on
I can tell though
this is what you want

I'm not running away
forgive me now
I'm begging you to stay
The words just won't come out
Probably lyrics to a song that I would never have the musical ability to create. // Run //

the tears will dry
the heartaches will fade
the pain will go away
time will slow down
and everything
will feel still
and you will feel at peace
I promise.

'I Love you'
I say it a lot, like most do
The difference is, I only say it to friends and family
You see someone way before you said 'I love you'
I said it back thinking it was true

I broke down when I learned it was a lie
I broke down when he went back to her
You see he was the first guy I ever said 'I love you' to
I meant it when I said it

I guess that's why it hurt me so much
I guess that's why I build my walls up
I guess that's why I have only ever told him
'I love you'

I see the sadness in your eyes when I don't say it back
I know you want me to say it
But i'm scared that it will happen again

That you will leave
That you won't feel the same
That you will realize you could do better

I'm scared because I do
I do love you
I want to say it
But now i'm scared of 'i love you'

I love her
I desire her
More than anything
I can imagine
But I am unsure

I dreamt of her
I weep for her
I struggle with myself
But I never conquered
‘cos I am unsure

And at night
I hug my pillow
In my sleep
I held her tight
But I couldn’t keep her
For I was unsure

She kept coming
She kept smiling
But never opened her hands
To give me a warm embrace
Which is all I desire
And the more I am unsure

I never told her
I love you
I’ve never held her
In my hands
But I love her
Though I am unsure

The wound remained unhealed
The vacuum remained unfilled
The tears flow unstopped
And I’m losing her
Who is the remedy
‘Cos I’m unsure

And I’m losing her
Fast than I expected
Though she still smiles
The fear increased unmeasured
She loves me
I don’t know
For I am unsure.

My eyes are flooded with tears unshed,
My mouth overflowing with words unsaid.
Words of happiness and tears of sorrow,
Are threatening my vision of the morrow.

My heart is empty, numb, and dull,
My brain a desolate prison cell.
No temptation, incentive, motivation,
Could ever get my heart to feel emotion.

The ceaseless creaking of my bed,
The endless wonderings of my head,
As I toss and turn at night,
Debating whether I should want the light.

You were like rain,
I stood inside, by a glass window,
I watched you touch the glass.
And it looked most beautiful thing to me.
As my fingers climed to it too,
I realized there was a sheild,
And I kept watching you,
And I kept breathing in its petrichor,
Then I perceived that we were near but were not together.
I did convince my heart to go out and get wet, but it told me it was scared to fall again and tear apart.
And once again, I smiled upon the rains, for I could feel you by my side somehow,
Though it made me feel shattered a little bit inside, for I suffered the feeling of the distance everytime it rained.
You were like a sad rain.

it is hard knowing that one day we won't be us
we will be older, wiser, and farther away from each other
i won't be able to see your brown eyes
and be home
i won't be able to see your smile
and feel safe
i won't be able to say i love you
and you say it back
you are the whole of my world
the light of my life
and the source of my joy
having you in my life has brought nothing but happiness
and i never want that to leave
when asked "what was the best part of your life?"
the answer will always be you
you were the first to hold my heart
to make me like i belonged here
to give me a purpose
i'll never forget the feelings you made me feel
and you'll forever have a place in my heart
