4 am is for lovers who went separate ways,
not for the in love asleep in comforting embrace.

it’s for the broken souls wandering aimlessly,
looking for a friend, looking for company.

It's for the painful heart wrenching confession,
or moans of pleasure in the throes of passion.

But my 4am is for the one i hold so dearly,
yet can't have because he doesn't want me.

I don't like it when you're not smiling
It reminds me that you're not immune to sadness
That sometimes there isn't anything to smile about
And that maybe only sadness has a place in this world
I don't want to believe people like you are unhappy
People who live a life led by their hearts
People who put others before themselves because it wouldn't feel right any other way
People who have already gone through so much hardship and always seem to come out stronger for it
When you're not smiling, it reminds me that people like you usually only smile because people like me rely on it
I rely on seeing you smile, the while knowing all you've had to endure
Just knowing you can still smile and laugh and live brightens my world
You make me see a hope, that no matter how dark it gets I can hope that there will always be a day where I too can smile and laugh and live a life lead by my heart
No matter what

I can never write poetry when I'm happy
what does that say about my personality?
why do words evade me when I long to share
my feelings of positivity?
I don't want to only be known for my works
on tragedy
I am not always sad and lonely
I smile and laugh
and enjoy what life gives me
and yet I can never convert that joy into poetry
here I am, destined it seems, to always be a tragedy
tragically, this is also another poem about unhappiness

I thought I had it figure it out

But, lately all I think about is you

And how you make me think about

Never wanted to be without you


Cant nobody ever make me feel

The way that you do

The way that you do

And your sweet words

Got be thinking, reminiscing

About the time I spend together with you

I still wonder bout you

Still wonder bout you


And Im sorry if im thinking out loud

Out loud

So, pardin me if

I might be thinking out loud

Out loud

Chorus:

But I think I’m fallin…

Falling

Falling for you again

Falling for you again

I think im falling

Falling,

Falling for you again

Falling For you again

I think falling

I cant I

Ever single time

I look in your eyes

I think falling

Fallin..

Fallin for you

Verse 2

And i love how I’m feelin around you

but my friends say im better without you

but i really can not help myself

*** i keep on fallin, and i need your help

I need somebody,

yea i need somebody

but you aint just anybody

and i really want nobody but you

till then i dont think no body will do

nobody will do

till my body with you

And Im sorry if im thinking out loud

Out loud

So, pardin me if

I might be thinking out loud

Out loud

But I think I’m fallin…

*thinkin out loud part again.....

Bridge:

Its not easy being in love with you with you with you with you

but i said it when i meant it that

i dont want nobody

but you but you but you but you

*** when it all falls down, and i need you around

there aint no body on this earth

that can love me quite the way that you do you do you do,

and i keep on fallin.

Falling

Falling for you again

Falling for you again

I think im falling

Falling,

Falling for you again

Falling For you again

I think falling

I cant I

Ever single time

I look in your eyes

I think falling

Fallin..

Fallin for you

Under the orange
street lights
it's 3am

Longing to find him,
she skulks alone
in the dark

And as London sleeps
her cries go unheard
by all but one
The other night, I woke up to the calls
of a red fox outside of my window. They sounded
something like http://youtu.be/gVLvw-LhWyQ

Awe
Throughout her adult life
all of the land shaded.
Feverless islands where the
aged couple sleep.
Never once have I hosted a party. Not once have I
told you, I have
been hurt.

I've got my fingernails dug into sadness
a death grip around the throat of an unfaithful lover
I will not let go until there is no breath
this is a war and I am foxhole deep
my melancholy prayer to an unknown God
as though there were still someone waiting to hear
as though the end were near
but I'll hang on for all I'm worth
until there is nothing left
but desert blue skies and bleached bones
