i still see you in my sleep
maybe that's why i refuse
to close my eyes

i can not decide
whether to say i miss you
or try something new
and let my cold shoulder
freeze you over

i write when i'm overflowing with emotion

and can no longer contain it

so it is honestly incredible how much you've hurt me

because right now i could fill the ocean with everything i'm feeling

yet i can't even pick up my pen

she was beautiful
but if you looked close enough
you could see
she was broken

and the light in her eyes
was far gone below the surface

simply mimicking dead stars
when a star dies we might still see the light for years and that is what her fake happiness represented

*******
for turning into murky water
with riptides keeping me in
when i know
crystal blue seas
run just below the surface
and they're calm
where i would willingly swim

im falling
and i need a foothold
your arms catch me
steadying me
but somehow
im only falling faster

i want to scream at you

until my very voice causes earthquakes

and makes even the ocean tremble with fear

but you deserve nothing but my silence

so i will let my eyes speak instead
