The walk is long, but my drink is iced
Drowning to the hands of my own device
With time to **** on my walk tonight
I hope my music blocks out the light
A lifetime of wandering and no path to follow
My inner self I seem to swallow
Are you willing to take but not give?
100% perspective
Can you give and not expect anything in return
Respect among favors and friendship earned
Show me the level of your appreciation
An even 50/50 split reciprocation
You'll always have a hold on me
A cold ghoslty grip
I've learned to bundle up to protect myself

These scars will never go away, I don't want them to
My tests of time and time again
How can I forget how strong I am

Learned from mistakes, sure I still make them
Just hard to believe its still hurts

I feel all variations of me making
The same mistakes in every
Alternative universe

Thats just how we cope
It makes us feel better
For still believing in hope

So yes sometimes we wish things could be different
They will we keep saying one day
After I finish getting all our mistakes out of the way
Gravity has me in its pull once again you see

Anytime I feel myself start to orbit and feel free

Newton's laws have no problem reminding me
Inevitable
Always making the same mistakes

Gotta stop wearing my heart on my sleeve

All I know is how to give I forgot how to take

Taking a toll covering up while I bleed
Every time I see your ghost

Is late at night when I'm thinking the most

I used to hate being on my own

Rather be haunted than to be alone

Now anytime I see your ghost

I feel myself losing control

Out with the new too used to the old

Never felt a touch so cold

Shivers reminding that I am alone

Meera
you inhale tragedies
and exhale poetry
From where do you get your perseverance?
A fool could see this from a mile away
Still I let you get close
Your love, like espionage for future endeavors
For me to give out all my love to have it scattered across the walls you built up to keep me out
Still I was outside your solitude of isolation
My fair Juliet, misjudged and ruthless, how I like it
Blinded by mistreatment, I want what's bad for me
Like sugar to your teeth so sweet but risky
I'd fight to suffer the slings and arrows of as they say misfortune with you could never come my way..

No one said anything about sticks and stones

Infamous one
The boy that loved a girl, they shared a moment. He would do anything to get that moment back. They grew a part from friends to strangers. Things would never be the same his heart said yes even though she wasn't right for him. She moved on married and kids while he thought about her life. He grew up with tough love and she was always the center of attention.
