Claim

I will never know the roughness of your hands,
The way you talk at 3 in the morning when we talk about the dreams we have,
How you sound when you sing in the shower,
What it looks like after you eat at the table,
If it's messy or clean,
I will never know the feel of your face when it's just been shaved,
Or when it's scruffy,
What it feels like laying next to you knowing you love me more than life itself,
What you sound like when you just wake up,
I will never know you,
Only what you claim to be.

What if?

What if one day the sun never set,
The moon never rose,
Everything that was ever hot,
Went cold,
What if opposites became the truth,
What if all that once was,
Wasn't,
And that isn't,
Was?

Shame

Shame on me for believeing you loved me back,
Shame on you for playing with something that was broken,
See, you were supposed to end up cut,
But instead,
It was me.

Marvels

the city all lit up is what she dreams of,
one day her dreams came true,
when that day came,
she also met you,
she never planned on you coming into her life,
now when the city can't sleep,
neither can she,
cause she's up all night,
with two wonderful marvels in sight.

White Canvas

a blank canvas,
no idea what to write or paint,
the whiteness reminds me of the snow,
cold,
lonely,
slow; dull and slow,
makes time almost stop,
people move around,
silently,
almost no noise but the shuffle of their feet,
lights are barely seen,
it's almost like your stuck,
everyone but you is moving,
soon, that blank canvas,
was everything you've seen.

Untitled

your head feels heavy about to hit the floor.
realizing all you ever wanted,
you had before,
tears start running down your face,
everything was so good,
what got misplaced?
take a deep breath,
count to three,
everything will fall into place,
just wait and see,
let it go,
let go of all the bad,
don't let it show,
you're better than that,
you are strong,
you can handle this,
take this advice,
and let it go.

as i felt anger towards myself for not knowing why i'm where i am,
the depression kicks in and the sadness follows,
i was lost in a world full of directions.
