Lemonade

Lemonade

I'm a little bit sour
I appear kinda dour
I know your too sweet

But we'd make lemonade
together in the shade
mixed up in the summer

I'll be sour you'll be sweet
with you I'm complete
we're just the right mix

Whole

Whole

For every piece of hair swallowed by the sink,
For every sharp bone in my body that's now gotten rounder
And every flap of my soul I puked on the truth
I now kiss myself.
I kiss myself in the mirror
And merge with the reverse;
Kiss my toes for they tickle the sand,
Kiss my eyes for they twinkle like starlight.
I make love to myself in the mirror.
The world is no longer away from home.
I am my body and I am my soul. I come together: I am whole.

dreams

the unwritten note

dreams

I kept chasing
you, as if
you were
a distant dream.
But dreams
are not always
dreams.
Sometimes, we have
nightmares too.

When did those dreams turned into nightmares? When did I stop believing in the magic of dreams?

i touched your soul

i touched your soul
and scribbled my name on it
love, you’ll never get lost again

three a.m.

It's 3am

I'm on the phone
No one's awake and I'm alone

It's 3am

The radio's on
Songs are played on lonely station

It's 3am

I'm in my bed
My eyes are open and sleep has fled

It's 3am

I'm on the balcony
The sky is dark and just quite scary

It's 3am

Some windows have lights
Could they also not sleep tonight

It's 3am

I'm still awake
When will life ever give me a break

Insomniac nights are the worst. And it's been going on like this for quite awhile.

i let myself drown

i let myself drown

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

I begged you not to leave me
Tears crashing in the ocean
I begged you not to leave me
My world you set in motion

I begged you not to leave me
And You left me on my knees
I begged you not to leave me
I’m asking, pleading, please

I begged you not to leave me
You tell me you love me too
I begged you not to leave me
Only thing I’ve ever felt is you

I begged you not to leave me
We’ve been here before
I begged you not to leave me
Fragmented, you left me on the floor

I begged you not to leave me
Severed deep and truly broken
I begged you not to leave me
Uttered words that should be unspoken

I begged you not to leave me
You make all of me whole
I begged you not to leave me
I need that something you give my soul

I begged you not to leave me
Crying, a mess and unknown
I begged you not to leave me
So myself I made my home

The doctor
said,
"6 months
give or
take".

Spoke to me
like it was
my healing
time.

Like,
I would be
as good
as new
in 6 months.

In a way,
I guess that
he will be.

Can I rewrite the stars
So we can end up together
Change the pictures in everyone's
Photo frames
So they can all see our future together
Should I
Have drunken ***
Go to a club
Hit rock bottom
And walk away from it
By the next month
Live my 20s in a week
So I can spend forever with you
Cause I'd do it
I'd do the impossible
Just so I can grow old with you
I mean it when I say I love you
But I cant
I have to rely on fate
And that is scarier then spiders or snakes
Scarier then falling off a cliff, or riding a plane
The scariest thing is relying on fate
The best thing is knowing it is fate

This ones because at the moment I feel exactly how I felt in September
