We were both very close,
like two peas in a pod.
Me and you against the world.
Why have we drifted?

We used to go out on sundays,
movie was our weekend thing,
and now those times are gone.
Why have we drifted?

You said you were doing all these for me,
so I can have a better future,
then you're asking me when will I leave home.
Why have we drifted?

And now you're out with some other girl,
coming home late,
is there no more family in us?
Why have we drifted?

I used to want to ask for hugs,
and maybe you were my shoulder to lean on,
now I don't even want to talk to anyone.
Why have we drifted?

You were my anchor,
my support,
and now all I ever want is to die.
Why have we drifted?

I am no watch dog,
waiting for you to come back.
I am sick of all of this.
Why have we drifted?

Where are you when I needed you most?
I was your little girl,
and you my hero.
Why have we drifted?

We have we drifted,
and we will just keep drifting
                  
                                        and drifting...
Feeling rather torn up because I can no longer find comfort in my dad.

I already feel sick, thinking of seeing you,
spending the night with you
and not even being able to really be with you
3 months still to go.
but I really want to go, and I can't let you hold me back
you're always holding me back,
from trusting, from loving from falling
3 months still to go.
what will I feel, what will I say, will I be able to read you
like you've always been able to read me.
I want to touch you, my body craves you
but I know you're not mine for the taking.
3 months still to go
they ask me if I can do this, I smile and say yes
yet I've never been more unsure in my life.
you were my person, you were my happiness
and you left me so empty, how could I ever move on...
3 months still to go...

As the wind whispered
the songs we used to sing,
each ounce of air
left my lungs.

For only I had tried
to be your better half.
I couldn't save your life
from the monsters in the closet,
since you were busy saving mine.

"You're not worthy"
"You're not enough"
were some of the lies
I wasn't here to prove wrong.

But as I looked
at you long ago,
I look at you today.

I'll look at you the same
on our wedding day,
whispering like the wind,
singing lullabies which say

You're perfect.
I will never know
what I did to deserve you
but I'm glad I did.

We'll pull ourselves together
like stitching up our wounds,
mending our own hearts,
finding new lights
where the sun used to shine.

And as we walked
out of the darkness,
we thought to ourselves
Is love meant to be this

How can it be
we lose who we were
for loving someone
too dearly

At one point, we know
we'll find beauty in
other eyes
and as I stared into yours

I lost.

I wanted simple
I craved teardrops
which came from rain
and not my eyes.

I wanted real
I craved feelings
which were honest, true
and not only lies.

But most of all,
I craved a package
labeled "You"
and all that came with it.

And no matter where I go
or what I'm doing in this place
No matter where I turn to
I will always hear your name

And I try not to miss you
but it's driving me mad
You ended up being
the best I never had.

And I kept writing songs
for thoughts I never said
and words I had never spoken
but I swear to God

Your eyes were so
captivating
I wish I had never
looked away.
all these titles are my current feelings about the poems I wrote for that person 5 months ago.

"Someday I'll be enough"
I repeated to myself
Four, five days in a row
Held a blade, pressed down
Oh, how I craved the sorrow

"Everyday will be good"
I mumbled to myself
The city lights ruined my mood
Skipped a meal, got online
Oh, how I craved feeling blue

"One day, I'll be loved"
I thought to myself
Someone else got involved
A cute boy, a cute name
Oh, how I craved not to be alone

"That day is today"
I whispered to you
Won't let you walk away
Cause neither would I, from you
Oh, how utterly happy I am.
I feel like all the titles I'm using make me sound like a Fall Out Boy song and I'm pretty okay with that. written 5 months ago.

I've heard of  having the pleasure
of finding your true love. They say
nothing else matters to you once your
eyes meet. The songs say that you
would do anything to have the presence
of your soul mate with you.
The movies show two halves becoming
a whole.
Reality isn't so poetic. The movies
and songs didn't inform me of the
negative sides of love.
They didn't tell me how bad it
would continuously hurt if you
lost the one you thought you loved.
My favorite quote doesn't
relate to how ****** I feel a night
when I know he is just fine.
Or maybe I'm too young to know of
love. Whatever it is, it hurts just
the same.
