Looking good and feeling good are two different concepts.
When you walk down the hallway,
And see someone with the latest fashion,
You’re not seeing the emotion on the inside,
But rather the want to fit in on the outside.

I didn’t know death had a face
Until I felt the knife
Dig deeper into my back.
I didn’t know pain was death’s best friend
Until I felt my heart
Drop, drop, drop.

My favorite quote states that
Any thought that humans are rational is a thought on quicksand.
I never really paid much attention to the truth of this
Until you introduced yourself.
You spoke your name as though you said,
“Hello, I’m irrational.”
Then it clicked and suddenly I understood.

I stared at it right in the face.
I’ve heard it go by many names.
Night, reaper, death.
I’ve seen it in many forms.
But I never thought I would see it in your eyes
The night you said goodbye.

You’re the best thing in my life and you can’t even remember me.
You’ve forgotten the way we used to be, yet I still go through the routine
Everyday.

Even though you are not mine to hold, I still place you in my heart. Even though my time with you has come and gone, I would add more hours into the day if that meant I could talk to your soul once more. Even though I know I should move past the past, never forget when I loved you and how I still do. Even though life will pull us in different directions, I hope to keep you in mine. And even though you don’t love me as you once did, I am honored to have seen the stripped down parts of you that I did.

When I read stories of people in love,
I always tried to play it out.
But when I met my lead,
All I wanted was to get out.
