As I reminisce about your memory
It feels as if a knife is cutting
Slowly but deeply into my heart
And my mind plays tricks on me
Giving me the illusion that
You're still here
(Are you still here?)
As I run from something
That does not even exist
And the cold chill I get
When they mention your name
I want you to just...
Breathe into me
And bring me to life once again

I'm lifted up off my feet
A swift and simple breeze
The persistent sun rays
Beating down on my face

The coming sound of the rain
Hugging the ground in a haze
Charmed by the clouds of this noon
That say the rainbow will come too soon
Not perfect, but I like the simplicity of this one. Going through old writing is... interesting.

I would give anything
To go back to that night
When your exact words were
"Please be mine."

But you threw my heart away
That's the price I paid
I always fall for guys
Who don't fall back anyway

Trying to forget love
'Cause love forgot me
It's getting so hard to see
This fog is getting thicker

Digging in deeper like a splinter
I take the time to try and understand you
To see through the sun-dusted trees
So why can't you just do the same for me?
Gotta love angst-ridden teen poetry from way back when. YAYAYA.

Traffic jams in my mind
I can't seem to get away
Rush hour is every hour
It feels like this everyday
The green light won't turn red
Crashes, roadblocks, so afraid
Of those demon drivers in my head
It's funny. I wrote this 5 years ago and it applies to me now more than ever.

I watch as it rushes down
My bedroom window
I hear the sound of it softly
Hitting the rooftop...
I run barefoot
Through the puddles
Hoping to catch
A drop or two
On my tongue
I feel it reviving me
And cleansing my soul
I wrote this such a long time ago. 6 years ago, I believe. This is the first of many older pieces that I'll be posting.
