The direction you have looked at
all your life.
Looking for the lost.
Searching for the reasons.
Waiting for your life.
Look opposite that direction.
You will find a kind heart.
It won’t be what you want or need.
But it will be enough
to live your life.
Enough to make you
never want to look back.

Country roads seemed more cleaner than the first time,
Looking back , how could we have lost so much of this time,
Mashing reality's guilt..
cloudy days with matching stilts..

Worth,
i know i'm worthless,
countless times i had to pick myself up from the times
you've promised me and let me down,
And I'm just like please , why did you leave,
you said you'd come back,
Again..
And this hatred lingers for as long as you live,
it'll never lack,
My friend..
There's nothing you could possibly say to gain my love,
you messed up,
this time..
I hope you know where you went wrong in the situation,
and get stuck,
in time..

You were a mistake in disguise picking at my soul,
thinking back , to the things you used to do and the things you told,
fake relations that we build,
if only time would just stay still,

Worth,
i know i'm worthless,
countless times i had to pick myself up from the times
you've promised me and let me down,
The kissing , hugging , touching , telling me you love me
was a lie miss backwoods..
And I'm just like please , why did you leave,
you said you'd come back,
Again..
And this hatred lingers for as long as you live,
it'll never lack,
My friend..
There's nothing you could possibly say to gain my love,
you messed up,
this time..
I hope you know where you went wrong in the situation,
and get stuck,
in time.

Retraction*

You can't retract those words
Like angry bees and scorpion stings
That drive a wedge,
Split the bonds that join at the hem
And sever the ties that tie
Those words don't lie

You said what you said
And pierced at the heart
Five lambs to the slaughter
By ruthless words
Sticks and stones
Surely break bones
But bones will heal
The heart will not

Am I not yours?
Do we live a lie?
You're pretending
And slowly breaking
Ligaments that join us
Bone to bone
Flesh to flesh
Though we be not yours
Yours we are

You can't retract those words
Like angry bees and scorpion stings
But the wedge is in your hands
What will you do next?

i know my next step
it is right there, as clear as sky
yet i can't seem to move any further
i am hacked
unable to tell
i am not me anymore
somewhere inside
buried in the mess of thoughts
i know i have to escape
take charge of my shell
may be my courage is lost too
in the same puddle
where i kept myself safe
long before when i knew
i am the only one who can rescue me
so i did what i could
i managed to isolate me from myself
and this is as far as i could get
i have been keeping this innocent delusion
that i am fine
no more i wish to entertain this silly idea
NOW
I   NEED   TO   SNAP   *BACK

Though my life changed that very day,
Good guitar I can no longer play,
But I have started crawling back there,
And time willing I will get back.
May 7th, 2010 was a day that I wanted not.

Only for you I wait.

Loved and misplaced it,
I want you back here.

In the dark of night,
In the bright of day,
I wait only for you.

There's many things I'd change--looking back.
I wish I'd been nicer in high school.
I wish I'd tried harder to be myself.
I wish I wasn't always trying to fit in.
I wish I'd tried harder with the first
woman I loved.
I wish I'd given my family more of my time.
I wish I'd been more careful with my feelings.
I wish I'd understood how quickly money can
Be frivolously spent.
I wish I'd been a better friend
And a calmer person.

Looking back on it all;
I don't think I have regrets.
It all led me to where I am today.
But there are some things I wish I didn't say.
It's always easier to look back than to look forward

You
You came in to my life unexpectedly,
You had that look that intimedated all, all except me,

That bad boy aesthetic,
That mysterious vibes.
Which makes me more drawn to you.
And your presence..
Somehow inviting,
Somehow kind.

You kept glancing and so did i.
Both too shy and both scared to approach each other on the spot.
Both trying to steal small moments.
Small moments to keep,
Small moments to treasure.

Try to approach and speak but to no avail.
But you, you are really something else.
And that's a good thing, a very good thing.

For a very long time i've been wishing for someone like you and now it came true. You were that miracle and unexpected blessing.

Someone who's like the perfect missing piece in the puzzle of my life, you're that guy that every girl wishes they had. A guy who's tall, handsome and very caring and everything that describes the perfect person that i thought only existed in the books. A guy who's loving and is like the reflection of myself but in every way better. A guy that will sweep me off my feet and would still keep me grounded.

You appreciate every single detail about me and it amazes me how even until this day someone is still amused by me. Me, a girl so simple, average to say the least. It still amazes me on how someone still sees the beauty that radiates in me even though i am a flower thats losing its beauty and grace by the tiresome duties of life.

You're the embodiment of perfection.
So difficult to describe but so easy to see what i mean. Because when people look at you, they would understand the perfection that i mean.

You're everything i want and need.
You're more than just a pretty face.
You're more than just somebody who makes me feel like im home.
You're the guy who brought back life in to my life.
You're the guy that made me believe again in this thing.
You're the guy that i was praying for to have, even if prayer does or does not work.

You're that miracle i was waiting for.
You're you. And well, i won't say it yet. Not yet :)) but thank you.
To the guy that i've recently fallen in love with.

If I gave you a minute,

a second, a week.

An hour, a month.

And if you loose it,

there is no way to get it back.

So use it wisely.
Ashlea Feb 2017
I have been sitting,
Waiting,
Hoping,
Praying,
That you’d come back to me.
You’d see that what you left behind is someone who was special.
Is special.
But I continue to pray,
Hope,
Wish,
And sit
Until you come back home.
Where you belong.
