When we first met I barely knew
Then we got closer and sparks a flew
Not sure what drew me into you
Or how dreams of forever gave life a new hue

Days gone by filled with I love you’s and and tie dyes
Holding you close every night, playing house at sunrise
Sure I was confused but never did I realize
My fear and my hurt ****** up my desires

A past love’s attempt to tear down the sweetest lullaby
I fell like a cradle and tore your heart down on my ride
I could apologize every day for the rest of my life
Never meant for my love to cut you like a knife

Sorry doesn’t help when the trust is gone
I wish this weight on my shoulders was me carrying you home
At least like you said, it’ll make a good song
I hope your heart doesn’t hurt for too long

The days of hanging out back and brainstorming on the patio
Ideas in our minds and a love that was invincible
Though the pool fell apart
The light, it still shines
So I’ll sit here a while and remember when you were mine

If I could paint you a picture
It would be pretty and bright
With sights to see, people to meet, places to go
But if I were to show you the real me
It would be haunted forests of hollow trees with phantoms and poltergeists that infest your dreams
But if someone were to paint a picture for me
I would want it to be filled with all kinds of things
That make them real and keep them whole
When all they have are broken pieces to show
Regret and mistakes they’ve made for the third time in a row
Between compassion and empathy they’ve been confused in their role
I’ve laid in the same hole I’ve dug more than I’ve been constipated trying to take a ****
Titled

I’d rather talk to this piece of paper
Well, it’s 2018 so I’d rather not **** trees
Because hippies are cool
Not really, they ****.
I’m just a spoiled brat
So I’d rather type into my iPhone 8 Plus
Than talk to wall
And my first be bruised and ******.

Fair and fine
One of a kind
Not what is sought after
A piece of a whole
Refusal to grow
Taunting, cackling laughter
Nectar of fruit unable to juice
Tree of pear unable to bare
Titled

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
I do but I don’t
I will but I won’t
I want to be
Alone
On my own
All by myself
With room to roam
Alone
No phone
Or any app that I can download on it
No where to go
No growth
Or prosperity to show
Because I’m never alone

Is it getting darker?
Is it getting colder?
Why do I feel this warmth?
Is this the embrace that I have longed for?
Titled

Fallen beside a river
Lifted by a stream
Guided by an illusion
Dragged into a dream
Awoken by the anger
Broken self esteem
I tried to be your comfort
But it wasn't meant to be
