last words
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
you never know
when the last time
is the last time
you think
you have time
but you don't
and even if they're sitting right across from you
you look at them and know
you will never talk to them again
that those words you last spoke
will be the last they will ever hear from you
whether you like it or not
the last time is the not the end

survival
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
"how did you get so cold"
they ask
well
my friend
when you are pushed to your limit
survival takes over
and you have to do what is necessary to survive
even if that means growing cold
growing cold doesn't mean you're a bad person, it means you learned how to survive

words
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
it's not the fight that hurt
it's not the sharp words
it's the silence
the numbing silence
when you know
"this is it"
when there is no longer a fight
it's just
nothing
no feeling
no hate
but
no love
sometimes, the silence is an answer

moving on
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
It’s the saddest thing in the world
To realize things will never be the same
But somewhere
Deep inside you
You come to the conclusion
You don’t want things to be
And that’s okay
Though the moment may have been good
It’s no longer reality
So you do what anyone else would do
You enjoy the moment
But you don’t ever go back to it
yeah

walking away
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
people walk away
everyone does
even the best people on earth will have their breaking points
and they will stand up
and leave
and they won't come back.
at the end of the day, you're the only constant in life

Past Friendships
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
it's a little overwhelming
to think
your best friend is no longer there
and is
never
coming
back.
people go and if they do, let them

Memories
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
Slowly, then suddenly all at once
The moment fades
And the person you always thought would be there
Was suddenly gone
The way the leaves fall
At the end of autumn
One day they’re there
And the next
You’re staring at a bleak tree
And you try to remember the bright colored leaves
But you just can’t seem to
It’s like
Knowing you’re going to miss a moment
While you’re still living it
You have to create new memories
And you’re tired
You’ve spent so long creating something so wonderful
And within an hour
Everything is gone
And you’re stuck with all these memories you don’t know what to do with
Friends aren't always there. I've learned to cherish the moments and move on.

Life
Caitlyn Tierney Nov 2017
Life is not about the sad and the hopeless.
Life is not about death and loss,
because if life was about all the bad things,
If life was black and white,
life wouldn't be worth living.

Life is about laughing,
so hard your stomach hurts
It's about a baby,
laughing for the very first time.
And their laugh,
makes it feel as though there is no bad in the world.

Life is not black and white.
Life is bursting with color.
There is more good in the world than there is evil,
and people seem to forget.
They focus on the bad.
They only see the cruel people of this world.
Happiness is not a luxury.
It's not a privilege,
it's a right.
Everyone has a right to be happy,
every single person.
There are so many good moments in life to focus on the bad.
