I walked down and sat down in your life
is it time I walk out? Time to say goodbye?
Ella Feb 2022
Somewhere someplace
I saved you a shelf in my brain
I saved John Elton & Clinton Kane
Saved books, Boston, cherry blossoms, light rain
It’s all waiting for you

This beautiful shelf was going to be a wall
Maybe two

Piecing together my broken self,
I built you a shelf.
This you knew. YOU KNEW.
& now this shelf is split in two

I really loved you.

Enough glass analogies for me
Your sharps words are your apology
Even though I’m yelling at ghosts
You are what makes me hate ME the most

I hate the rocks I carry for you
The heavy stones you used
To smash me into pieces

I was gonna say broken
But broken parts can  be fixed
And I’m yelling at ghosts
I’m screaming at the smoke

That’s not a few stitches
It’s a lifetime of surgery
Piecing together the old memory of who I’m supposed to be

It’s a lifetime of being soaked
Naked with no clothes
Drowning in the rain that always came
The predictability is what killed me
But most times it was your name

I keep saying you
I have no clue who I’m referring to
Just a big monster taking up space in my brain
A collection of mementos colored by pain

its dangerously dizzy to love you
It feels forever-like when I touch you
stop smiling with those eyes
this summer air’s making me cry
thinking of you thinking of me
it makes me dangerously dizzy


I could twirl forever with ur memory
waltz with your words in my mind
I tell myself that you’re just kind
but I’m really hoping you’re just mine
It’s dangerously dizzying
imagining us together
you make me starry eyed and musically inclined
you’re dangerous, it’s true
I could easily
So easily
Fall for you

I pretend your name looks the same as the others
that your eyes don’t make my heart flutter

I pretend your words
aren't lines I’ll memorize tonight
that your smile isn’t a ray of sunlight

I’ll pretend to laugh at your jokes the same as the others
but with you, you make me see luminescent colors
What they say about red rose rims are true
and that’s not all I even feel with you

I sleep seeing daisies, dreaming about
ways you make me crazy
I smell orange blossoms everywhere by
Imagining that you simply care

I pretend that you are just another ***** page wedged inbetween the lost loves
the almosts
And the fakes
but

you’ve made pretending a dichotomy
a contradiction to the feelings I say
the truth is
my red rose rim glasses get brighter everyday

You gave me words I cannot change
I cannot alter them even if I prayed
You gave me a glimmer of hope
For our “what ifs” and “maybes”
But it’s just cruel to do
You have someone you love
And I-
I only have you
You give me dreams
And that’s all I have
That’s just mean
I don’t want “in another world”
I want this world, with you
The right person at the wrong time....what do you do?

I forgot how much you can hurt me
how much I don’t deserve me b/c
I open the door to disease
I let you break my heart and I even say PLEASE
“”
I LOVE you and I lose you, and YET, I wanna play again.
the never ending game
That ends with me crying on the ground
and you playing pretend
“”
I’m your doll when you’re bored
And you’re my cliff when I fall
I wait for you to catch me
but you’re on a phone call
“”
and if I slip off the edge
you won’t catch me
you’re nowhere near
I AM YELLING;
you refuse to hear.
“”
I forgot the worst part:
even now,
If you were falling,
I’d give you my heart.
I’d catch you, even if it meant losing me too....
