love is energy
that creates and destroys
life and death
10w
I am sick and tired,
of wishing on a star,
sick of waiting here,
wondering where you are.

People seem happy,
they've found their true love.
I act like I'm not envious,
sometimes I'm acting tough.

I act like it is easy,
to bury all the hurt.
I act like breakup's nothing,
it's just another word.

I tell people I've moved on,
I tell them with my smiles.
I tell them I'm okay,
but that's just what I say.

I know that if I told them,
there's nothing they can do.
If I selfishly told them,
they'll be troubled too.

So I will continue,
going around with a smile.
Finding meaning, finding purpose,
So my life wouldn't be dull.

I don't know if you're like me,
But if you are,
you're not alone.

I just wanted to tell you,
your happiness is your own.
And we don't need someone to make it happen again.
We don't need someone to lead us out of the pain.
We just got to start moving on.

this is a lesson i have to learn

during the chilly nights with beds too big
amidst the people that come and go
despite the gnawing emptiness in my core
without the seduction of superficial intimacy


i need to learn how to be alone.
