what a sad world we live in
when comfort comes from a bottle,
acceptance from the monitor,
and genuine joy from internet shopping.
what a lonely way to live.
spending all our dollars
on coffee, *****, amazon,
and amateur pornstar models.
wondering why a like, a comment,
or any kind of attention
is so god ****** addictive.
we don’t love each other anymore
but we treat ourselves like little toys.
i’ll make believe our life is great
while you pretend you’re ‘working late’.
we tried to fake a makeshift home
the husband, wife, and family dog.
a plastic life where nothing’s amiss
just two kids who make dolls kiss.
I don’t care
if you stop and stare
at the fancy flirty fellows.

and I don’t care
if you take me where
im a daisy in a rosy meadow.

I don’t mind
if its not my time
when the sun’s shining full and bright.

but when the day is done
and you’ve had your fun,
baby be mine tonight.
I gave her love.
watered her roots
and watched her grow.
she returned to me
a single leaf
that floated to the ground
and crinkled dead
beneath my feet.
I don't wanna be the sun and I don't wanna be the moon.
I wanna find a way to always share the sky with you.
I'll be the clouds and you be the breeze,
Or you be the branches and I'll be the leaves.
Maybe if we plant ourselves and reach for the sky,
Our roots will connect and we'll forever be entwined.
bae
i tried to keep my feelings at bay,
but the tide rose faster
than the current could pull me away.

just one look,
and the water surrounds me.
just one kiss,
and im already drowning.
im floating away
into endless space

in search of myself
and dreams to chase.

i almost forget
what’s holding me back

from drifting away
into depthless black.

then your hand squeezes mine,
time seems to rewind,

suddenly im home again
with you by my side.

through the endless expanse
and the universe wide,

its next to you,
myself i’ll find.
