Untitled

I think it's just mostly,
not ever really having anything
to look forward to.
Not expecting anything
but still the disappointment of knowing
nothing is coming.
It's just like,
I know the day is supposed to be special
so it makes me sad
that it feels like just another day.

My birthdays tomorrow.

Remnants of a Dream

I wonder aloud:
When a dreamer dies,
What happens to their dreams?
A man replies:
They float away, into nothing.

I ask :
What if they die in their sleep?
He replies, with a face of stone:
The dreams become nightmares
Then they come true.

We're all just that
Remnants of a dreamers nightmare
Pieces that, they'd wish to disappear
We're all just manifestations
Of their over active brains
Dreams that came true
When we were supposed to fade.

I ask, with oceans swimming in my eyes:
What if they never go to sleep?

He turns toward me and turns into something you'd never believe.

I Refuse To Sink ⚓

I refuse to sink
But the water-
It's calling out to me
It sings my name
To the rhythm of it's waves
It begs me to come and play
It begs me to go under
Just this last time
It tempts me to feel the water
To cross that unforgiving line
To tie anchors around my ankles
And dive on in.
In the water I see a reflection
It's my past, my twin.
She calls out to me
She's playing a game
I refuse to win.
She's drowning now
She's fading, being lifted away
All that's left is the water
Dancing, to it's haunted ballet.

Can't Save The World

In that moment, he realized he couldn't save the world.
He realized the world was full of bad things,
and bad people, that he alone couldn't change.
Things that would probably never change.
And it made him forget all the good things in the world, made him forget all the right he's done.
He finally broke, and gave up.

I'd Stay

I'd Stay
If I thought there'd be someone here missing me
Praying for me to come back to them
Hoping I found what I was looking for
So I could hurry back to them.
So I could be back here, in their arms.

Someone who would want me to go
So I didn't miss out on my dreams
Someone who would offer to come with me
Or just say they'll be here when I get back
Say they'll wait for me

Stand at the end of the drive
And wave till I'm out of sight
Smile when they get my post cards in the mail
And laugh at my little adventures

Someone - anyone, who'll miss me when I'm gone.

Forget-Me-Not

Forgive me
Never forget me
Though I'm out of sight
Don't let me out of mind
Don't banish me from your heart
You were never mine,
But I've loved you from the start...

My Ocean No More

I got lost in the ocean one day,
The waves swept me up,
And carried me away.

Under the tide,
Deeper I went,
It's darkness surrounded me,
Made me safe, content.

I was secure in my ocean,
But I don't want to be in it anymore.
I don't think I can take it anymore.
I want out of the sea,
I want shore.
I don't want to drown anymore.
