We're just a bunch of drunken kids
With hearts that got too broken
And no concept of how to heal

Blaze

They spewed rumors like sparks

So I turned into flames

I engulfed them with my self-love

And burned out all their hate

His Hands Don't Fit Like Yours Did

My being alone is a choice
I refuse to settle for someone simply because they present themselves to me
I will never be with someone out of emptiness for I am whole by myself
I cannot give in to mediocre love merely out of physical attraction and try to ignore how his company makes me feel more lonely than when I am just alone

My only problem is
You set the standards incredibly high
You make every one else seem mediocre
And I am having a hard timing loving anyone who tries to follow your footsteps

I'm Sorry for Whoever Made You Cruel

Does growing up mean that you are not allowed to feel?
Is it about covering up your scars so well that we all forget the burdens that these shoulders have carried?
Am I entering a competition to see who can tape together their broken pieces the best?
Does growing up mean putting a piece of duck tape over your stories to silence the sum of who you are?

Because if that's what this is...
I beg of you,
Please do not make me do that.

I'm Slowly Letting You Go Love

I wonder how many years will have to pass
So that I may forget February 8th
And what it meant for me and you

No One Has Made Me Feel Like This

You* convinced me to give you a chance
That if I ever changed my mind you'd understand

I still remember the feeling of when you kissed me
I knew that whatever came next
You would be worth it

I felt that feeling every time we kissed
No matter what happened
All you had to do was kiss me and I would fall into the hopelessness of believing you were worth it

But when I begged you to stay
To work things out
You asked me to accept that you had changed your mind
That our timing was no longer right

But if you kissed me right now
I would believe that you were worth it

*You have always been worth it

A Day You Didn't Even Remember When We Were Together

I doubt you remember
That three years ago today
You convinced me to make the best decision of my life
I allowed in the best thing that ever happened to me

I tasted your lips for the first time
It was 10 degrees outside but my body had never felt so warm
I didn't tell you then
But I was head over heels from that first kiss

Happy Anniversary baby
I hope your new girlfriend treats you well on the day that used to be ours
