the dusk kissed the dawn goodbye,
glittering moon, sparkling stars,
bursts of gold melting on the lilac sky,
streaks of amber, as the shimmering sun rose

So, my words,
Could not reach your heart,
Maybe then,
My silence would

Sometimes I think about the things I do,
Practice my smile, try to look cool
Yet what is this feeling
It sinks in and sinks in deep
Tearing apart my smile
The moment it sinks

Seen enough
Stumbled enough
Tolerated enough
But still can't get enough
the way this world works

I sit here every evening
every night
Nothing comes to mind
No muse in sight
I have an ache inside
I can't describe
I type a few lines
Words won't rhyme
Failing each time
The sting inside
A low lit flame
Dwindling down to nothing
Why can't I find
What's burning inside
And type it all out
Confusing doubt
Not even sure what it's about
The words pour down the sink
Draining to never be seen
I'm stuck in between
The chaos unheard
And losing myself
Placing my unfinished words
Back on their shelf
