Love of my life
I haven’t met you
And sometimes I fear
I never will

Love of my life
I’m sorry I’m late to the game
I was a little lost
But I have found my way

My faith could move mountains
So I’ll use my faith to guide me to you
And when we find each other
The moon will shine
And the flowers will bloom
For I believe one day I’ll find you

Tyler
I reached my hand to lock fingers with yours
But your palms stayed face up as you lied on the floor
I realized then that I could never be yours
A love swayed by freedom, and you stayed still at the core

The allure of your spirit was the same dark hand
That pushed me away into a violent wind
As I cry for your name, you forgot who you are
Blissfully so, I can only watch from afar

I watch you fall for the endless sky
Wishing to see you come back to the ground
You loved not direction, for it was merely a tie
A loving soul like mine would only bring you down

I was on the inside, looking out
You were on the outside, never to be found
I'm here sitting
alone,
the smell of coffee runs through
my veins,
some music i probably will forget
in a few years arguing with
the thought of you,

But I'm here,
I'm here,
writing about what's happening

pretty boring huh?

i call myself a poet
but i can't use high metaphors,

i call myself a poet
but i can't describe fully
how you make me feel

i call myself a poet

but what am i?

I'm just a kid
scared of life
finding new ways to cope
searching for someone to love,
desperate,
not holding unto my dreams
how can i choose with my mind
what's right for the heart to choose.

and you see?
don't you see?

don't worry i can't either

i can't see how great i am
i can't see how other people see me
i wish i could.

i want to believe this was a dream
or
a nightmare at that.

But at last.
I'm here wishing that in another life
i could be with you,
or
maybe in other deaths,

i crave your touch,
i crave you..
with coffee waking up my senses
like a kid in summer waking up early
to go play with his friends.

i wish things were different,
so i wouldn't have to wish.
Why don’t you love your body, girl?
Did someone stupid make you feel insecure?
Everyone is trying to tell you how you should behave and how you should look
but ***** them, do what YOU want
you didn’t come here to please anybody
so go ahead and love your body
Skinny, fat, curvy or thin
what really matters is what’s under your skin
I know you think there might be something wrong
I’m here to remind you that you’re strong
so if someone comes around saying that you’re ugly and fat
don’t even think about it, that’s stupid chit-chat
skinny doesn’t mean healthy and fat unhealthy
have fun, live and eat what makes yourself happy
‘cause every body is beautiful
any other comment is not going to be useful.

Cné
silence and darkness
an old friend I know too well
an unwelcomed guest
i dreamt about someone
i don't want to remember,
my heart begged not to think
but it overcame me;
the promises i lost
and memories i keep,
why can't escape you,
even when i sleep?

dream, #2

i'd call it more of a nightmare.
