hello
im me
and im not gonna change for you

im not gonna capitalize
im not gonna use punctuation

because i like this
its how i feel right now.

but i know you feel differently
and im not gonna fight you on that
its poetry
theres no rules

so just calm down
and do what you want
and if you want
you can follow me

Lights on your palm
Dancing across my face

Eyes meet and lips touch
But the fire still burns

Rain washes away the tears
Your smiles sweep away the sorrow

Transparent and transcendent
Our love shines between us

A thin thread that will never break
Words that glows in the air

Unrequited
I am sad,
You don't love me
But you like me

Is that enough?

I could never know
I can't compare
No one will love me
Like I can

Why, love?
Why you? Why me?

And especially, why us?

But you come over one last time
And we dance like it's a crime
Then we run out of air and we die, we just die

And I crawl out of our coffin
And dance all over your grave
And the sun rises but it's too late, it's too late.
The chorus
undermyfeet Apr 2020
We don't love us anymore
All our screaming fits are over
I watched you cry til you were sober
And that's exactly what we are
Sober and over

Everyone said it wasn't easy
But the truth is, the lies were very cozy
And your fake smiles made me feel less lonely
But the truth is bound to die
I'm just alone
This is actually the first verse of a song I've written

Night terrors
A flash of  light in the mirror
Night terrors
Is it too late to turn on the lights

I'm scared and I know it
The shape outside the window
Knows it

Could it be,
Could it be
real?

Something about the way
You talk love live
Makes me jealous
Of a life I haven't had

Of a life I could never have.
