damsel in distress
I was afraid of love
It's just heartaches and sufferings
I forbid myself from falling
Because I know
No one would catch me but the ground
Then there was you

You said you were falling
I was ready to fall in love with you
But when I was falling really fast
That's when I realized
You were not with me
You had a parachute on

I fell
But no one was there to catch me
I loved
And I don't think I could ever love again
Cause Im broken
You've broke me beyond repair

when I told the only person I trusted
about all the times I tried
and failed
to die,
they told me that I can't have meant it
judging by the fact
that I am still here.

I did mean it.
and my broken mind
and my burning stomach
wish that I didn't.
I wish that I didn't.
but I also wish that I meant it more.
maybe then everything would stop
hurting so much.
maybe then I wouldn't regret failing.

“The truth is messy. It's raw and uncomfortable. You can't blame people for preferring lies.”

But I like the raw truth, the truth that hurts and makes you think and change.  It's what makes me feel alive.

They ask me,
"What is love to you, young one?"
I cringe as I whisper,
"A fear from which I run."

Lost Words

I’m holding a drop of time in my hands
I quietly grip the forgotten memories, the lost words

When I recalled each event one by one, I thought I understood everything
But the faded words were right by my side

Nights when I can’t find an answer, and a single drop of warmth, and my longing for something far away
I’m spending my whole life just repeating those things over and over

I’m holding drops of time in my hands
I quietly grip the forgotten memories, the lost words

I want to grab all the things you love in my hand, never letting them cool down
While we, as people, are unable to share that feeling

The meaning your words release, an unquestionable love, a feeling that has no answers
If only we could convery all that just by looking at each other

I’m holding drops of time in my hands
I quietly grip the forgotten memories, the lost words

I’ll keep this love in my heart

I’ve lost you…”

i don't know why somedays i'm completely over you.
but others it's like i'm laying face down in quicksand, being consumed by the memories of you.
the more i struggle
the worse it gets.
so i lay still
as you pull me
under.
