I wanna pack up,
Leave my body vacant,
So it can rest.
All these thoughts,
Leave my head tired,
Leave my mind restless.
All these feelings,
Leave my heart full,
And confused.
One night,
One escape,
A getaway

Altered,

You changed me,

And left me cold.

Alone and naked,

Exposed and unwanted.

You abandoned me.
Speechless,
I stare at you,
Peacefully,
You stare back.

And you just like the feeling.

staring at the pages before me,
waking up in ink covered sheets.

and she will visit you when the
time is right
and the time will be right
when you start doing your thing
You'll see.
People like you die young, she said
You don't drink, don't
do drugs, eat healthy, rarely
go out, rarely meet new girls

But you keep on writing, boy, you
keep on writing
and that's enough to outweigh
all the above
