he says he's an open
book but

why bother with
a heartbeat I can
hardly hear
inspired by misheard lyrics.

(c) Brooke Otto 2016
You are like
Smoke between
My fingers,
Like drops of
Liquid gold,
A love that my mind
Knows so well
But my hands
Can never hold.
I wonder how much time has to pass
for feelings to fade away forever
I haven't seen you in years yet
I still love you like you never left.
Up
Smile.
Not because they ask you to,
But because they will never have to know what it's like to feel cold
In a warm room.
Build a rocketship,
fly out of the atmosphere,
live among the stars.

I love the way I feel
When you hold my hand
The way you look at me
Like I am your prize

You said you'll take away the pain
I thought no one can
But now inside of me
Are birds and butterflies

I thought love has gone
Away and away has ran
But now I'm close to heaven
I see the sunrise

Even if I say nothing
You always understand
Your shoulder is always there
A safe place for me to cry

If you ever fall
I'll be there to help you stand
Always by your side
helping you to get by

I'll be your robin
You be my batman
Together we'll fight
Together we'll fly

I'll lift you up
To your dreamland
And you'll get me higher
Than the sky

For love is
A human demand
And you hand me the world
Right in front of my eyes
you told someone today
that i never really cared
and they told someone
that told someone else
that told me

i told someone today
that i always care
far too much
and that i was scared
and i pray
and i hope that they will tell someone
that will tell someone
that will tell you.
a part of me hopes you'll never read this, the other prays you will because maybe then you would understand
I usually know how to say how I feel, but this sadness is too great
Can't write it beautifully, just cry
Every waking moment tears are streaming, nothing can stop them from falling

I wrote you a letter
That you will carry with you forever

I'm sorry
I cannot say
Or write
Anything great
My dad died a couple of days ago.
