you came to me broken
without purpose or a hand to hold

you left me after losing that emptiness ;
fufilled from taking everything out of me and using it to fill your own brokenness.
now I'm left with nothing but a ghost of you and pain that overwhelms me

if you could see scents
The most beautiful smell would be rain on the asphalt after the first rain in a while
nature always has a way of showing us
that even after long and beautiful days of sunshine
The sky still sheds a tear
there is true beauty in the sky and the way it reflects on the way we feel
some are encouraged by the sun
but others prefer the rain
those who prefer the rain understand that darkness comes within the better days and cannot be avoided
but you can still be the light of the dark; the light shining through the clouds

In this body you will live,
In this body you will also die.

Wherever your treasure is
There your heart will be,
And also your life

Worship things that help you find yourself
And the things that won't give you regrets

Finding out who we are destined to be is a difficult mystery to unravel
But true adventure comes with life
And with adventure in life, our true colors shine

"Forever" he mumbled carelessly. He expressed the word like it was another ordinary word.

"Forever" I reposnded like the word was a melody. I expressed it like my life depended on it. Because it did, and still I mean it today, even watching you with a girl that is not me.

"Forever" we both said. But only one of us meant it.

I feel a glimpse of a memory
The slightest scratch in your tone
Try and see the crevices
That I once knew like my own

All of the chills rush once more
Through every inch of me
I then wander to find your presence
& realize you're no longer mine to see

I sometimes feel at ease
Pretend to think I'm better without you
Truth is you never even realized
All of the pain I am going through

If I were to go back
There's little to no hope you'd be the same
We lost ourselves in each other
All that's left is our picture in a frame

When our love died, he became a ghost
We are not only haunted by the dead
The ones who we've lost & go on fine without you
Are the ones who make you regret and ache alone in your bed

Reaching for someone's hand who is no longer there
Reflects how painful it is to lose  a person in any form
Only faint memories are left
And heart that is forever torn

My hands are bruising from grasping my headboard
as I slowly go crazy
silent screams and waves of tears
are the result of my inner guilt and fear
I fear I will not get to be held by you
I fear I can't look into those eyes
three months ago I was your whole world
two months ago you were mine
today you are all I think about
As I slowly go crazy
pounding the feathers of my pillow
I am reminded that I know what falling in love feels like
And that I know it is the worst pain in the world to be without the one you love
And have to pretend he's just another lost aquaintance

the roughness of his hands
sawdust in his hair
the sweetness of his heart
hurt me, he wouldn't dare

my father is my safety
my first love and best friend
his sacrifices are never-ending
my wounds he will mend

driving in the empty road
underneath the little green tree
in his strong open arms
he is the only one who accepts me

and on the day when I find the one
that man better know he will always be my number 2
it is my dad who set the bar high
and made sure he led me to the right you.

dad someday,  I hope to find someone who loves me like you do
