******

Nothing is worse
Than letting someone get away
With breaking your heart.

Mystery

Im a mystery

Youre in love with every thought of me

You imagine how I’ll say your name

Or how my breathe will feel

On your neck

Or when I run my fingers through

Your hair

You don’t care to know

My flaws

For art

I think I’ll love you forever. I think I’ll love you even when I love someone else. And when I’m done loving them
I’ll fall on you, like a crutch that’s always been there. I think I love you to the moon back. I love you

to the end of the universe. I love you like the ocean loves the shores. Every day I love you more and

more. I love you in every fiber of my being. You are my dreams at night, you are my thoughts in the

day. I think I love you more than the desert loves the rain. I love you more than the ******* loves pain.

I love you like candy on Halloween night. I love you more than Christmas morning. I love more than

New Years Eve. You keep me going. You make more to life worth knowing. I love you like the air in my lungs.
I’ll scream for you.

Lint

I can’t help but cling to you like

Lint on your favorite sweater

I’m stuck.

Pick me off one by one

It’s never enough

I’d hide in every fiber just to see your smile.

The Blue Vase

As you ran through my house

You didn't notice you had knocked me down

Until you heard the crash.

You lied to her when she asked

And you said you didn't break me

I was in the way while you were chasing after something

That you thought was better.

But it wasn't and you never got it

And you cried as you watch her collect my peices

And I cut her hand and she cried too

But only a little.

And she glued me back together

The best that she could.

No one could really notice

Unless they got real close.

But I knew.

I could feel every crack,

Every gaping hole that you faced towards the wall

So the neighbors wouldn't see.

And years passed,

And you could never look at me the same.

Because I was broken

And you knew why.

The Siren

I am the siren

I shipwreck soldiers

Leaving them stranded on salty shores

I sing sweet songs that can turn a bitter heart

Into sugar.

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Lonliness

Lonliness

It’s as stifling as a cold

It makes every bone in your body

Weak.

Waking up becomes harder

Because I can sleep a little longer

And dream of you;

Falling asleep is harder

Without an arm around you.

Some say they care

And maybe they do

But they care more about whats underneath

The cotton that makes you modest

Some care but they will never tell you

Maybe you don’t seem worth it

A lost cause

A waste of words.
