Evolution
Raechel Kay May 2019
Baby I thought you were it
You were the one who was going to change everything for me
You did change everything for me

For the first time in my life
I was special
I was somebody's person
I was somebody’s light

But then you said no
I wasn’t special for you anymore
You no longer wanted me
You no longer wanted my light

Baby you showed me you weren’t it
You changed everything then took it away
You changed the way I look at you

Ghost of You
Raechel Kay May 2019
I’ve forgotten what you look like
Some days I can’t picture you at all

I don’t remember your face
Those eyes, the lines, the curve of your lips when you used to smile at me
I don’t remember your body
Those arms, the structure, the way you moved when I laid on your chest
I don’t remember your voice
Those sounds of laughter, the excitement, the late night talks
Everything physical is foreign to me

So when I start to reminisce about what we used to have
I can only remember how you made me feel
When you smiled at me I felt beautiful
When I laid on your chest I felt wanted
When we talked I felt important

So maybe it isn’t you who I miss
Maybe I just miss the feeling

demons
Raechel Kay May 2019
can you sleep when you know there are others like you
ones that dream of horrors in their minds
the thoughts that they can not run away from
hoping they do not get caught
do you wish you could save them
but you're just like them
so who do you save first

— The End —
