she stands at a distance
with her hand reaching out to mine

but I cannot seem to make it to her–
before she changes her mind

I feel her warm skin, and
bounding heartbeat

but I wake up to cold sheets,
and the breeze of cold air surrounding me

she shows me her scars,
she tells me she is broken

I tell her I love her,
I show her devotion

she is like a ghost, she disappears,
she hides away

she haunts me in my sleep,
I ache for her, I miss her everyday

she tells me she doesn’t deserve my love,
she tells me to let her go

I can’t let her fade away
so I wait for her alone

I don't believe in soul mates
What I do believe in
Is people that connect
On some deeper level
Immediately upon acquaintance
And not meaning you agree
On where to eat for dinner
But the connection where your heart
Seems to slip out
Of your rib cage
Because it's found a home
Outside of your chest.

Do you hold the world in your hands or is it just your grip on my heart?
Because the strings you’re pulling are
tearing my Earth apart.
I may not be the only to realize that you’ve let me down,
because archangels know something’s wrong when my resting face is a frown.
The stones may try their best to repel negative light,
but how can I trust something I care about when you control my world with spite.
With your chains on my legs you have full control.
I’m told to forgive but I can’t forget what you stole.
They may have not been of value to you but they were to me.
From privacy to confidence and even my right to be free.
The planet has fallen away from my feet, the crystals have shattered.
The only real question is did I even matter?
To you? To me? What’s the difference?
We both hate myself now,
just before this, one of us didn’t.

are you sure we're meant to be?
i'm not certain that it's true
our paths have both been picked
but i'm not sure mines with you
we may have to go our separate ways
and i know it won't feel right
but we have to follow destiny
however i'll allow you to hold me for tonight
yes the future is scary
but so is losing you
so let's look up at the stars
and not focus on what's new
our time is coming to an end
and so is this night
we have unspoken goodbyes
and i hope we reunite
because these see you later smiles
are forced over a frown
and the way you held me this one last time
will make me miss having you around
around to see me happy
or around to hold me tight
because when our separate paths are taken we will never reignite
our spark forever dead
because in the end their will always be words left unsaid
