i labeled my dreams with your name
then you packed it with your belongings
thinking it was yours to keep
rey Feb 2015
Lonely nights and unfinished wars,
Keep your love poems to yourself
Stop looking at the mirror
Or developing glorification

Wet pillows and scratched bed posts,
Start singing me lullabies
Stop screaming silent screeches
Or suffocating my sweet dreams

So I'll put on my shoes
And hope the laces stay this way
Because we're too hopeless to smear coals to fight
Lonely wars and unfinished nights

Sometimes writing feels like a forced cry
It's not insincere, nor newborn-pure
I hear my head trying to switch gears
Between abandon and straight lines
Or sweet dreams and honesty

Don't believe me when I say
That putting your heart on the microphone is easy
Regret might hang on your eyelashes the night after
Or pull the lids up until the witching hour

If there's anything that's sure
It's the fact that you've always been a doubt
And everything around you seems like satellites
Blurred and unsure
And I could explode anytime

rained-on parade
Stupidity tastes surprisingly like guilt.
I think I've made a fool of myself. Hopefully not a big one.

if you only would listen to my voice, it's always high and trembling maybe one day you'll notice that it is struggling to keep you from robbing my temple.
