Echoes In My Mind

Echoes In My Mind

I'm beginning to forget the sound of your voice
But your words still echo in my head
When you pleaded with me
Pleaded and pleaded with me
At 2 in the morning
If we could just go back
If we could just go back to what we were when
Happy
We were so happy
But I told you no
That I couldn't handle it
And I was really stupid, so so stupid

Now I'm the one pleading
And you don't even listen
Or apologize
You just don't answer

I'm in the dark alone and I'm scared
While you're outside
With a padlock on the door
That keeps me chained up in your mind
And you're meeting new people
You met her
She sounds amazing

I hope she's everything to you
I hope she's everything I couldn't be for you

Echoes

Echoes in my head
They won't leave me be
I need help but I also need you
I know you're not mean
I know you're kind
I know you're an amazing girl, an amazing young woman, and you'll accomplish amazing things

But I want to be there
I want to see it
So bad, so bad...

My Greatest Fear

My Greatest Fear

I was always the dreamer type
Falling into all the fantasies' hype.
So hopeful of what the future would bring
But you spoke of things you'd never mean.
Eyes of a child with the sun shining bright
I never believed clouds would ruin my sight.
Now here we are,
Life's just a scar;
Only a fading line that we can never get back
And soon enough we forget and lose track.
Years pass and each brings us farther away
Forgetting dreams of how coincided our lives would stay.
So long ago, long lost memories
Of just how close we both used to be.
Then one day comes along
And everything returns with lyrics of a song.
With so much emotion surfaced to feel
Your heart's scars are suddenly not so healed.
And you cry, oh how you cry
And your grandchild asks you why.
So begins the sad tragedy
Of a friendship that used to be.

Please Stay

Please Stay

I have so many things to say
Though I have forgotten a few
I remembered how much I care
I always hope in my arms you'd stay
Never leave my sight
Never leave my mind
Never leave for a second
Just say that you're mine
I know that this is not enough
To prove how much I'm in love
If you walk on and just leave
I will surely fall down and cry
Cause you are the air I breathe
The sun that fills up my sky
So please don't you ever go away
Promise me in my heart you'll stay

not quite love

not quite love

i love the way you hold my hand so tight
like if you let go, i'll be gone forever
and the way i can't tell if it's your palm sweating or mine
i love that i don't mind

i love the way your voice sounds after you kiss me
breathy and soft, and nervous
almost shaky
you remind me what it's like to be fifteen again

i love how delicately you touch me
like i'm something precious, something treasured
something breakable
because i am

i love how you say "i'm yours" instead of "you're mine"
because you understand that love and possession aren't the same
and i have every part of you as you have, me
forever and ever, "and ever and ever and ever"

i love the way your hands shake when they touch my cheek
the way your fingers tremble as they hover above my skin
how you hesitate before every move you make
like you're scared to mess up, like i'm something you can't risk losing

the only thing i don't love
is that i can't manage to spit out the only words
that occupy my mind when i'm with you
"i love you"

Words

Words

It seems as though
I always want to talk to you
But our conversation comes at a cost
Because every word spoken
Puts me one word closer
To the last words I'll ever say to you.

With hope I could forever speak
With reason and love aimed at your heart
Taking your ears and making them listen
To what I need you to hear
Before you cannot hear anymore.

Carefully I select the sounds I speak
As not to choose the wrong ones
Picking silently in my head
The memories I would like to leave behind
In every moment I spend with you.

I know the last words I will say to you.
They are in my head now
Dancing on my lips
Teasing your ears
But I will not say them.
Not now.
Instead,
I will say them when it is time
For them to be true.

I do hope, however, that when that time comes
You will have already said them
To me.

who could it be

who could it be

Do you ever feel like your sitting at home
wasting your life away?
constantly getting updates
always connected to the outside world
we can never get away
and
we always know what everyone is doing
it's overwhelming me today
sometimes I find it hard
to get this thinking out of my head
I need someone to come in
and refresh this space
teach me how to be
show me your face

For someone I haven't met

Gimmie that hat of yours darlin’. Let’s race up ladders to the top of the book shelf. I crave meaningful conversations so I outgrow this awkward stage. Like those comfy sweat pants I outgrew, the ones I never wanted to take off. They were too **** comfortable. I think you might be the one to buy me a new pair of comfy sweatpants; force me out of the old hemlines. Baby, this cliché is crazy and all those teen poppy songs never felt so true. Rip these hemlines off, force me into a new; let’s learn to climb these ladders together. And once we get to the top, let’s learn to fall because nothing hurts better than falling for you.
