your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you

I always thought we were the perfect match.
But matches are meant
                                   to ignite
                                         and burn out.

they say to make a person fall in love in you
you need to make them happy
if you made them laugh
and smile,
there will be a chance of them falling for you
but why is that when i see him happy
hear him laughing, see him smiling,
why am i the one who falls?

You don’t decide who
Will make your heart race.
The corners of your lips just
Upturn so suddenly
That you only notice your smile
When you step forward and feel
The cement  pieces
Of a shattered frown
On the ground beneath your feet.

maybe,
        'maybe' is the easiest word to say
        cause we never have to commit on something

maybe,
        'maybe' is the safest state to stay
        cause we always know when to leave

but maybe,
        maybe it is entirely different
        on the receiving end
