I thought I had it.
The way you looked at me made me believe I was close, at least.
I thought I had time.
But I guess waking up at seven to clean up last nights mess just isn't going to cut it anymore.
I thought I had nothing to worry about.
It's funny how doubt has it's ways of creeping into every corner of your brain, every thought.
I thought there were bigger problems.
But nothing hurts worse than seeing your mother cry, and knowing you put those tears there.
I thought I had you.
But I guess I shouldn't think so much.

What I would give to know what you were thinking.
To slip my way into your mind
and see myself from your eyes.
I want to know what you think when you look at me like you do.
What you feel when you blaze a trail down my arms with your fingertips.
I want to know you recurring dreams,
and nightmares alike.
If you feel as small as I do
when you look up at the night time sky.
I want to know where you go to get away from it all,
because I'd like to go there with you.

I thought I saw the future in your eyes, darling.

I've put off these words for long enough.
And I think the reason why is I didn't know what they were until this moment.
You were a much needed shot of life.
You were a meteor shower through my night sky,
I would never grow tired of watching you.
But when you were gone, my eyes wouldn't adjust.
And it got me thinking that maybe
I was blind before I met you.
You don't know emptiness until someone takes a piece of you and runs far away,
and you're left with a gaping hole where they once were.
I tried my best to overlook it.
I spent all of my time with people who have probably already forgotten my name.
But then I saw your eyes for the first time in months,
and I realized this:
You can't fill emptiness with empty things.

I can't stop thinking about it.
The way you graze me as you not so casually walk by.
The awkward tension in the room
So thick you'd need a chainsaw to even leave a dent.
And I can't help from feeling inadequate
And nothing's worse than giving your all
and still falling just short of being worthy
time and time again.
So I sit here and think:
There are plenty of fish in the sea
There's more to life than this small town,
the world's a big place.
And I immerse myself in keeping my mind busy
but I end up thinking about
how I don't want to think about it,
and all progress is lost.
Then I break all the ties
and burn all the bridges I built,
Thinking
You're not a  fish.
You're everything.
And the world isn't as big of a place
as we make it out to be.
I wrote this a while ago, but it will always say exactly how I feel.

Waiting.

I'm waiting for the day
when reality sinks in.
When life runs it's cruel,
never ending course,
and this fragile web of sentiment
get's run into,
and I'm the spider,
left to wonder
what I could've possibly done
to deserve having my fortress destroyed.

— The End —
