I now know dreams
are made out of glass
because,
when you dropped me,
I watched all of mine
shatter
I can’t keep crying
over the people I used
to be, and wishing

I could be dying
because of that feeling of
what was you and me.
I know I have done the right thing
But why does it hurt so much?
Am I not supposed to feel good about myself
Am i supposed to not give a ****?

It has only been a few months since I have known you
And we decided to stop talking once and for all,
Thought I could focus on better things in life
Since knowing you was a wrong call.

But why does it hurt so much?
Why do I keep thinking about you
Why do I have this empty feeling within?
And why am I even writing about you!

Your words keep spinning in my head
And I can't stop thinking of that face,
It keeps distracting me from whatever I try to focus on,
And I just find myself walking around in a daze.

Truth be told
One day i will get over you,
And I will feel a great sense of relief once that happens
Like getting rid of a really bad flu.

It might not happen today but it will happen soon
And once it does, I will be dancing to a new tune.
people don't break up from too much love,
but from too little,
or simply,
was not meant to be.
for Diana
stay strong girl!

If I carved the words "I love you"
into every inch of my skin,
would you believe them?
Would you believe me?

If I painted a picture of my heart
with the very blood that it pumps,
would you cherish it?
Would you cherish me?

If I promised that there was no one else,
that there was only you,
would you accept that?
Would you accept me?
Would you accept me?
... My eyes,
To mirror your sighs,
I will give you my smile,
To dance with your smile,
I will give you my hands,
For you to paint the beauty
Of the fertile lands
In the hills of Tuscany.
I will give you my open arms
To surround your shoulders,
When you feel cold during the winters.
I will give you my soft kisses
To dry up your tears
On your pale cheeks
So I can chase your fears.
I will give you my memory,
For you to remember
Our forgotten kisses, if any.
I will tell you some of my secrets,
Even the ones from the Pool,
In case you show interest,
And there you would think I'm a fool.
And of course I will give you
My Ocean Blue,
For you to dive into.
But I will never give you
Anything that can hurt you.
Somehow,
You need to know
That I can only give all this
When you come back from the abyss
To which you've decided to depart,
Leaving me alone to dream of you,
With art.
I'll sing of all the ways I miss you
and how this sorrow came to be
the verses, lies I should have whispered
the chorus, truths in harmony.

The melody will break the silence
and call your broken heart to me
to be repaired by love unyielding
to broken hymns in minor key.
Depression lies and makes us push those we love most away, sometimes so far away that they can never return.

My heart
Is a happy drunk
A little too open
A little too optimistic
It's over in the corner of the bar
Playing poker
Screaming at the top of it's lungs
I'M ALL IN
When it's never
To this day
Had a winning hand

My heart
Is a sad drunk
A little too lonely
A little too caught up in tears
It's over at the counter
Forcing the bartender to take its keys
Because it would rather not go home
Than go home alone again

My heart
Is a reckless drunk
A little too unbalanced
A little too impaired
It's over by the door
Making everyone nervous
A little too good at scaring people away
A little too far gone

Like you
A little too far gone
Turn your head
Shuffle away and pretend you don't notice
The breakdown of a heart
Too drunk on feelings
To know when to stop
