the distance steals
the oxygen from
my lungs as i lie
awake at three
am thinking of
you
this distance will be the death of me

Home's where the heart is.
It's where sorrow passes by.
And where joy always finds its way.

For some, it's where the world is.
For some, it's where the world ends.
Over time though, I've learned.
It's no place any map can trace.

Home is the nights we've spent.
Contemplating our lives.
The jokes we make,
The things we do on a dime.
The laughs, the tears, and that beautiful smile.
Where words are never words,
Where a single look is a million years.
Home, is my pillar.
My fountain of youth.
Home is where anything can be truth.

Home is always just in view.
Home is me, when I'm with you.
G.
Home, That's where you're most at ease.
Thank you.

maybe i'm wiser
maybe i'm stronger
maybe i'm skinner
maybe i'm smarter

maybe i'm brighter
maybe i'm fatter
maybe i'm older
maybe i'm not

maybe i'm (almost) the same as last time
but i'm sure that now
i'm happier.

Did you know that every time they called you ugly you believed it?
Did you know that you gave up a long time ago?
Did you know that you want to be that girl?
You want to be that girl with long hair, and gorgeous eyes
You want to be that girl who gets the guy
You want to be that girl who always looks beautiful

But instead you look like every other girl that he has ever ignored
You have never bothered to look nice because no one ever notices
You never opened because that would mean caring

So what happens to a dream deferred?
You're not entirely sure
But your dream of not being alone
Of being that girl
Well that dream, is eating you alive

Welcome to the island of misfit toys
A place for unwanted girls and boys
A place where everyone cares, and no one is rejected
A beautiful place where no flaw is corrected
A place for the beaten, scolded, and abused
A place of forgiveness for those wrongly accused
A magical place where you don't have to run
A magical place with no ropes and no guns
So welcome to the island of misfit toys
A place for unwanted girls and boys

Wednesday began to tear me apart.
Thursday didn’t want me.
Friday, you broke my heart.
Saturday surely hated me.

If the week could break a heart.
Then a day ripped mine apart.
Like some sort of organized crime,
I was betrayed by time.

So, I left time for the sky
The clouds, they held me so tight.
I fell in love with the way each star shined,
But only because they reminded me of your eyes.

And every night,
The wind would whisper your name softly in my ear,
And sing to me quietly,
Wiping away my tears.

During the day,
I would lose my soul to the sea.
I only wanted to feel okay.
My intention was not to be a cheat.

I didn’t mean to tear you apart.
I thought you didn’t want me.
I was afraid you’d break my heart,
So, instead, I made you hate me.

Because, every time you told me you didn’t care
I felt lumps in my throat.
And when you weren’t there,
Only the ocean was there to keep me afloat.

Your eyes used to shine so bright,
Your soul was made up of all the sun’s light.
But your eyes don’t shine quite as bright,
Because that’s where you hide all of your lies.

I've been reading all your stories
though I notice missing chapters
my name has not since crossed your lips
I have reached out, yet not heard your laughter

it would seem though, that you have laughed
and the missing chapters were the holes that needed filling
who'd have known that disappearing
would be the one thing that never left you with feeling

I watched from the shadows as an artist colored your pages
you changed from black and white to colors I have never met
cause you see, my best friend is this little bird called fate
and as I see me fade to grey, I feel nothing

but I still read your stories
I still think about those missing chapters
I forgot my name, no one's said it in a while
but I still listen for your laughter

in the back of my head

you fooled me with your eyes
you snuck into my dreams
ensuring my demise
poisoning my mind

and now I can't look away
from eyes that won't see me
I'm left paralyzed
by a ghost who won't see my eyes

my thoughts are poison veins
your memory is my pain
you've never even seen me
though you haunt my every move

and now I can't look away
from eyes that won't see me
I'm left paralyzed
by a ghost who won't see my eyes

I'm left paralyzed
ensuring my demise
you snuck into my dreams
and fooled me with your eyes
