I flew across the ocean
To make myself forget
The image of you and her
And yet here I am
Alone
And all I see in the ocean's waves
Is you

What if
Instead of catching you
I let you fall from the cliff
Would you crash
Or would you grow wings
Just in time
And if so
Would you soar away
Or would you use them
To fly back to me

Like a mantra I repeat
He's not good enough for you anyway
Like it will heal the pain
From the fact that you don't want me

We long for softness in others
Like an addiction
We crave their secrets
Their truths
Like a one way mirror
We yearn to see them
But only while we remain hidden

                        - Vulnerability is courage

To waste a mind
As brilliant as mine
On thoughts of you
Should be criminal

Empty words are just that
Empty
