and now
i'm stuck
i'm stuck
i'm stuck
i'm stuck
i'm stuck

in the cycle of you -
doomed to repeat
until i find the strength
to let you go.
Anna Starr Nov 2016
we know i have to let go
you ******* up real bad
but it’s okay
i’ll fix you
i’ll let you go
and i’ll work and toil
bring a smile to our face
and hopefully this time it’ll stay

sleep now, love.
rest your eyes.
your time is done.
keep that smile on your face.

it was a good run.

i've spent most of my adolescence
taking, editing,
looking at photos

it is the same thing i have been doing
for years and years..
and yet

while thousands of photos
have passed me by
i've only stopped and stared at one

yours

half a smile, looking down
finally wearing the top
you've been dying to show the world

i'm glad i took it
i'm glad you weren't looking
i'm glad you looked happy

but

i'm sad that i only get to stare at you from a photograph
i'm sad that you couldn't even bare to look at me
i'm sad i'm not completely happy when you're not here

i'm sad you're not here.

for some
bliss would be
an ice-cold glass of water
for quenching arid throats

i'd rather feel the ecstasy
of chills running down my spine
as the metal of a .44 magnum
caresses the temples of my skull

All my favourite songs are tainted by memories of you.
It was your favorite.

Give me an answer,
Even in the slightest of sounds
Because your silence, it kills
In my head, like a hammer it pounds

Stop. Maybe even look at me?
Or throw us out of the window, i don't care
I pretend i don't, but i actually do.
Am i not worthy to be in the sight of your stare?

Sure, lock me out for now.
Once you return, I can't guarantee me.
I've been trying so hard for a week now.
I'd be surprised if after all this, we were still meant to be.
Bakit ba ang hirap mo?

You're that breath of fresh air
That i can't seem to take.
I really miss you
