My face drowned under fire.
That liquid burns faster and smoother with ice. I began kicking rocks, down after a shot. Why was i here? Had plenty of other waves. Lost some friends without the chance of saying goodbye. Happens usually overnight. I've turned off my phone, just to feel away from home. I've gotten greedy, so needy. Always guilty of being selfish. When did selfishness become normal again? Evrytime things got so hopeless, I've raged myself out of control. All I wanted was a place I can call home. I've met some decent **** in the dark. Not all the world is so bad when most around you knows what it's like to fall apart. If any of them needed me, I've always shown. Through thick and thin..... I believe i understood that the most. I've became what hurt the most. I've gone down that dark road. No music to guide me home. No lights to keep me open for a ghost. I've haunted myself yet again. Away from a home, not knowing where to go. No love in sight, no lips of delight. Not a hug or a goodnight. A empty cold hand, not even a blanket.
I've doubted I'd make it. Always sparkling nights, my confidence crumbles and falls. Running away towards fire, dizzy, struggling to speak, I wanna eat, about to sleep, but surounded by company. I don't want another drink.

You've got me calm and crazy, just wanting to know you. You've got a hold of my attention, honey what are your intentions? I'm at awwe missing a girl i don't know. She's something amazing and beautiful. I'm drifting closer, but further. I'm afraid of drowning. Please rescue me, if I've gone that far. I'd for sure swim my best towards your arms.  I would always come from a far. I wanna know who you are? Have you always been this close but yet this far. Would you like to catch a movie or grab a bite from a bar?

She's gotta be ready for impulsive dates
She'd have to be fine smoking with my family
She has to have faith in me
Let alone be interested
Long nights in
Conversations sporadic
I want to love and adore her so badly
Make plans, live life, then allow ourselves become one whole.
But hers the problem with modern goals.....
No one wants to put in work
Dating apps need to be buried in the dirt
Maybe I'm not meant to be around here or the one hasn't moved near me yet?
A question I think to myself a lot
She's gotta be great with kids
Has to be patient with my best friends shenanigans
Someone I'd be happy with
Maybe even have a kid with
Where the **** are you babe? Stop playing and come find me! Single life ***** ***!

Her eyes are warm to the glance
Her personality enlightened a safer direction
Her face beautiful asf
Empty words shot out in a text
I've got no clue what to say or do next
I don't mind waiting, I don't mind keeping a distance
Just need to know

I've spent a lot of time learning to let things go. Had so many people in my life walk out with out any goodbyes. Sometimes I'm mad, sad, happy, or even curious. The closer I am with anyone taught me how to stay isolated, I sure hope that makes sense. If not here's the beat I can describe the intention......
I isolate myself so others don't need to have another concern hovering over their conscious.
Somedays I wanna cry, somedays I want the whole world to see and feel how happy I am.
I laugh at myself crossing paths with people that simply don't care anymore.
I laugh at the monster I used to be.
Hell I laugh at my own ******* depression.
Till tears crumple.
I'm ******* lost without the people I've lost over the years. But I'm going to enjoy the bitter sweet moments humanity still offers me. I'm going to live and allow myself to be found....
Whatever that means.

I'd pick you flowers from the field
Words from the most amazing individual I've met in my life
A independent woman to treat anyone right
Genuine beauty
Genuine soul
Unique and beautiful
R.I.P forever with hopes to cross you again
But until then I've been struggling with the world lately
Hanging on barely
A beautiful tragedy
I'm trusting less
Living to forget
Always depressed
Now I'm wishing I was in a field picking flowers for someone to love and adore me
Remind me what it's like to be happy
Fighting off the world during rotation
I'm at war with my imaginations
Loved ones checking on me
I've forgotten to live my reality
Pick me flowers and leave them by my journals
I'll be back later
