The room I once slept in seems so small
The buildings too familiar
The sky not so tall
The airs seems stiller, no excitement lingers
The piano disjointed
At the touch of my fingers
And though this is the place I once longed to be
Here once again
I just don't feel like me
It's filled full of memories, but full to the brim
So the spaces of new memories
Have no space to fit in
And having longed to return here I now long to leave
What once was a resting place
Is now a reprieve

But I'll stay here awhile, before I depart
From the place that once was
to the place that now is
the place in my heart

You Are Loved

In the times you feel you can't talk to anyone
Know that you are loved
When your problems seem minor but yet so huge
Know that you are loved

I care even when I'm not thinking about you
When you annoy me I still care all the same
For the love to you is without cause or catch
If I could I'd take your pain

When your emotional barrier is at its lowest
Know that you are loved

Do you know what loneliness feels like?

It's the chill around me when your bodies are close
It's the silence right by me when you're chattering away
It creeps up on me when the room is busy
It's the lack of text when I'm walking home alone
It's the empty hand when yours are held tight
It causes jealousy I don't want to have
It's the cold side on the bed when I'm sleeping
It's the stare into a full restaurant at night
It makes you feel the odd one out
It's the misplaced eye contact when you give that look
It's the time working when you're just hanging out
It lingers in the background of my mind
But I keep it quiet, only here I confess
to the bitter taste of loneliness

When

I can't seem to say when it means the most, when you need my time, when time is short
the feelings come after you'tr gone and that just makes it worse for me
I just want to let you know that you mean to the world to me
that when the seconds tick past after we've said goodbye all I can think is what I should've said to you
I hope that I say it best when I say nothing at all because sometimes the time isn't right
but maybe that's because the time is never wrong
and I feel it all the time
when you're near and when you're gone
when we're seconds or hours or mountains apart
I wish I could say the thoughts of my heart

You and Me

You know that I can't say to you
the words I know you want me to
If you won't explain to me
Just how about you came to be
The person you have turned into
Who doesn't look a thing like you
when i say "you" what i mean
is the person i have always seen
until the day you turned into
the person who's no longer you
the person i no longer see
where I expect the old you to be
where did you go, what did you do
to change suddenly, through and through

It doesn't make much sense does it?

Maybe from this you can learn to see
how it'd feel, how it'd be
if I were you
and you were me

You Never Asked

"This is me" is what you say
and what was white has now gone grey
and what was black seems faded away
and some line I can't measure has somehow been crossed
but you don't understand; you've changed
though for you it's always been this way
for me there's muddied confused pain
which falls upon my life like rain
and seeps into the day to day
til no longer can I see the way
out

the light
at the end of the tunnel
is a stretch to find in this maze
go left or right or middle way
the straightness seems to have gone astray
the clarity gone, the bills unpaid
the work undone, the mind in disarray
your life has moulded, set like clay
mine is the mess you throw away
"This is me" is what you say
but did you ever
stop
and ask

"are
you
ok
too?"
