Insomnia, insomnia
Oh, how I loathe you so
You only come and visit
Every month or so

But you come uninvited,
Put monsters in my head
Oh, why can't you go visit
Another person's bed?

sometimes, there are moments
when all the world goes quiet
and, for just a moment,
I get to enjoy the silence,
a moment away from the everyday violence
of society's daily defiance

yet, it never stays quiet...

the silence is so loud, I can hear
my heartbeat
pounding in my ears
as my darkest fears
begin to come near,
& someday, they'll find me
drowning, in the salt of my tears

i’m caught in a metaphor
a convoluted whirlwind
of words
and emotions

All our beautiful moments are now nothing more than memories. We’re no longer going through it, all I can do is treasure these. I’ve always wished for what’s best for you, and I now realize that I’m not the best for you.

Thank you. Thank you for all the lessons you’ve taught me and the love you’ve shown. Thank you for the journey that has made us grown. Thank you for the little moments of intimacy that you and I shared. Thank you to that I met the ******* that beach three years ago, because she changed my life more than I could ever know.

Thank you for taking a chance on me. I’m grateful for the fact that we tried. I’m grateful for the little moments of joy that one or both of us cried. I’m grateful that you broke it off with clarity. I’m thankful you didn’t stay just because of familiarity. I’m thankful for the friendship we once had, the friendship that pushed through both the happy and the sad. But now it’s time to move on, in time I’ll find the One.

She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.

am i in love with you
or am i in love with the idea of being in love with you

are you in love with me
or are you just in love with the attention i give you

do i love you
or do you just make me feel a little less alone
and i haven't felt "together" in a long time so i think i love you

do you love me
or do i just make you feel like you're worth something
and you crave my validation so you think you love me too

are we in love
do we love each other
do we want each other

or do we just need each other
to patch up the holes other people left behind
