You can't fix people
nor can you be the medicine
they need
You can't fight their demons for them
nor take their sadness
and make it into something beautiful
The pain that comes with this realization can be compared to
a dagger going through your
heart
It's heavy on the mind
but even heavier on the
heart
and you can't let yourself bear that kind of weight
alone

They say people who are up in the middle night are lonely, sad, or thinking of someone. I guess for me it's a combination of the three, but how can you miss something that was never truly yours to miss in the first place?

You told me you liked me because I was something new
But then suddenly I wasn't enough for you
I hope the thought of me leaves a bad taste in your mouth
Memories shared with you are a
Blur
I'd rather forget
and not remember
I am enough
I was always enough
And to hell with you for refusing to see it

I like to think of the best kind of love being one that makes you feel like your favorite song does. You know the exact feeling I'm talking about... When your favorite song comes on, nothing else matters and the world stops just to feel what that song makes you feel for just that moment. When the person you love walks in the room, it's all eyes on them and you feel everything in the room stop except for that eye contact.

Someday someone will awaken your
Soul
And the sun will shine brighter
The stars will seem to dazzle more
Your world will no longer consist of
dark blues and grays
All you'll see is the brightest of purples and reds
It'll almost feel as if the world is on a whole new axis
Your whole world is twisted upside down
All because someone decided to pick up on what no one else did about
You
Love is one of the many wonders of the world
And the best thing about it is you never see the same love
Twice

You found me in the dark
When I was purple and blue
But somehow it was enough for you
I was like the moon
And you were like the sunshine
Radiating your light upon my darkness
I never knew what it was like
To be chosen
To be discovered
To be picked
You saw me when everyone else refused to

The fear
It crippled me
What would become of this home
After you were gone
You were always there
And then one day just like that
You weren't
I didn't want it to be
True
I wanted you back
There was so much I left
Unsaid
And what I did get to say
Just wasn't
Enough
You didn't get to know how much I loved
You
