I thought my eyes were blind until I saw you,
But I've never been blinder
Than when I started to live for you—
I may love you—but this love is not for two.

So I'll send it off to the far side of the moon
And maybe hope to one day see the other side.
I just hope I'm not swallowed up by the tide
Before I can see your starlit eyes.

maybe there is a way to love
without the feelings to guide you through—
and although it is not ideal,
It keeps the demons from within keeping you company
instead of a warm body to hold on to you.

You're breaking my heart—
chiseling it away with your tongue.
If only it could've been my tongue
cause i'm tired of the taste
of false hope and love.

I'm only buying time
To build up the courage
To say that I've been broken
And am no longer whole.

It's not okay though,
To give you a reason to smile
When I’ve forgotten what it’s like
To give love and receive it.

But I’m exhausted now
After having had walked
6 miles to your home.
Now I only want to be alone.

I'm trying to break out
From underneath the leaves
That fall on top of me
From the tree next to where I sleep

But then I remember
You're no longer there
To help me crawl my way back out
So that I can finally sleep

I'll try to pretend
That this isn't the end
And fill my thoughts with memories
Of your heart across my hands

I just wish I would've been more gentle
And not have held it to hard
And too close to my own
Because now I don't feel at home.

i think we still exist
somewhere in the universe
behind the sun
where all of earth’s abandoned
soulmates go to rest
i think i can see us
when i look up at the sky
and squint directly into
the rays of light,
your brown eyes burning
into mine

i think we are together
in the time that trails behind
the present, dancing
in circles until the last stars
fizzle out

i think that our promises
seeped into the soil, like
february rain, our souls sown
together, tucked in
beneath the world

i think what we had is
somewhere just out of reach,
pulsing in the dim spaces
between heat lightning

and although, in this lifetime,
we became nothing but shadows,
monsters that linger on bedroom walls

we are there, we are alive,
and we are still in love.

You didn't knock and you didn't leave a note,
And yet I'm supposed to know
What it is I did to make you lose hope?
No,I'm done with these games—
Your constant hate and torrential rains
Have driven me away.
