Leaky eyes
And silent sobs
I thought it was over
But it just begun
Again.

Bunched Kleenex
And wakening nights
The pain is back
But did it leave
Ever.

Wet pillows
And slow minutes
I want to feel
But happiness doesn't
Come

Hand tight
I hold the balloon.
The balloon that holds
All my secrets.
It's ready to pop.

Hands turning white
As I say I'm not ready.
But I'm feeling it slip
Ready to reveal
To everyone around.

I know it's time
As I slowly release it.
My hand numb
From trying so hard
At keeping it down.

Slowly it rises
And I watch it go.
Telling myself
That it doesn't matter,
Not anymore.

I turn to leave
As I hear it pop.
But I keep walking
Knowing they all heard
The secrets I've finally shared.

Feelings for you is
Like pink bubble gum.
You blow a bubble
And I wait for the pop.

Feelings for you is
Like a poisonous, red flower.
Pretty in a picture
Deadly to the touch.

Feelings for you is
Like dark eternity.
Always there and going but
No questions answered.

You and I could be
But you don't even see it.
She is your blindfold.

It's amazing
How with one look
You turn me into
A million
shy, pink butterflies.
Flying through the wind
Trying to reach you.

I can't believe
How when we're together.
Wherever we walk
We make
Happy, yellow flowers
Grow under our feet
Showing the world our path.

It's hard to think
That we won't be
Because I know that
Our
Amazing, red ribbon
That ties us together
Will get cut off by her.

Sitting there,
We're so close.
We feel the heat
Rise to our cheeks.
Together there's sparks.

But then,
She comes.
And I watch you
Turn away from me.
You always choose her.

And again,
I see.
As your eyes light up
And you smile at her.
Knowing it'll never be me.

You and I?
We're different.
We are always laughing.
But when we're not,
We make each other smile.
That's just us.

Me and you?
We understand.
We know each other so well,
And always learning more,
We never get bored with it.
That's just us.

Me and him?
We joke.
We make fun of each other,
Making it seem like hate,
But we know it's just love.
That's just us.

Us?
We are soul mates.
I need you as much as you need me,
Because no one can replace you.
I just wish that you could see
That it's supposed to be me.
