Where am I going
Where have I been
Running in circles
Again and again

Trying to get things done
Do these things matter to me
Most of the stuff I can’t even see

So why do I keep running
I’m going crazy in my head
Soon I won’t be able to get out of bed

Slow it down, I keep telling myself
What’s the rush, there isn’t one
No one cares, I’m the only one

Burnout is coming, it’s like a freight train
I have to slow down, stop fighting my brain
Or I will surely,
Go Insane…

Love’s stricken “why”
Is all that love can speak—
Built of but just a syllable
The hugest hearts that break.

Tears are rolling, chest is heaving, nose is running
Cannot stop the tears from falling
So sad today, the reasons are numerous
Heart is broken

Here's to the one who will never know my true feelings
He’s saved me from myself
He can tell my story better than I can tell it myself
He knows the secrets lurking behind my smile
He’s the one who loved me when I couldn't love myself
He put me back together when I fell to pieces
He cared when no one else did
Never judging me
I was able to trust him
But my feelings will remain buried
Forever...
I’m sorry I couldn't tell you, I was scared.
So here's to the one who will never know.

3am
Sat sipping whiskey at 3am
Because it reminds me of you
As I remember
Your smile
Your taste
Your tongue
I realise this is not the bourbon I crave
That can only be found on your lips
sweetened by your kiss.
