Love is a fickle thing
I wish and dream
But it will always be the same
I’ll always be someone’s second choice

I fight against the depression
That this life brings
Yet the only way I can fight
Is with you by my side

You drown the voices
Keeping them from the surface
With your joyous laugh
And your goofy personality

Being near you
I rarely ever feel sad
But when you leave
It hits me like a tidal wave

I crawl into a corner
Begging and crying
For just one chance
To be the one you love

But I know it won’t help
There’s no way I’ll be
The first choice
Of your heart

My heart craves you
My soul craves you
My whole being craves you
But you don’t crave me

I’m alone forever
And I understand this
But I don’t want it to be true
All I need is you

But no matter what I do
No matter how much I want it
I’ll never be what I want
The first choice

I’m not even in the running
I’m not even thought of that way
Yet I crave to be
The first choice

But it’s all for nothing
I will only be viewed as a friend
I’ll never be what you are to me
The first choice

You're not obligated to tell me why..
You're not obligated to do anything by me.
But when you left me without a doubt
No reason, I didn't think I could live without.
You were my sun, my moon, and all my stars.
I'm not gonna lie that **** hurt and of course you know me I ******* cried.
I still reach out,
It's almost been a year since we last talked.
I don't know how to feel most of the time.
I wish I could talk to you.
You don't respond to me and I know its because you think I'm crazy.
Talked to your mom the other day she said you were in treatment and I hope you're okay, at least near.
I'm waiting on a bed, to get out of here, to get out of my head, and away from the clear.
Even though you probably don't think of me.. I still love you dearly.

My heart it beats
It beats me, the pain is unbearable
Thoughts, the choices that I made
The path I choose, the stop signs I ignored
The change  I seek, I leaped eyes wide shut
Thinking this time would be different

all of a sudden
its her vivid memories
that started to fade

like a photograph
captured in a camera
in grayscale effect

at some point, i think it's pretty cool to also do what clementine did to joel barish. // may 2019

Hey there
I woke up thinkin of you
Your blue eyes
My white lies
The way I ruined it all
And I want to say I’m sorry
That I ever let my soulmate go
I was scared then and I’m scared now too

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

I see you with that new girl
Movin on
Looking happy like I want you too
But **** does it hurt too
I wish I could tell you
How I’m feeling
How I’m reliving
every stupid move I made
When I see you smile at her

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

And I saw your playing guitar again
Like you used to play it for me
And I’d **** to hear it again
Your little blisters
On my skin
I hope you gave up cigarettes
I know it’s my fault you picked em up
And I’d take it all back
Just to take you in my arms again
Sleep next to you
Feel your heartbeat

Because I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go

And I know it’s foolish to let you stay
In my dreams where I made the better choice
Where I fought for us when it was hard
And found a way to you when it was far
I still listen to Taylor
Because her voice brings me back to you


And I’d love you like you wouldn’t believe
Because I know I burned you
And I know I walked away
And I walk back on the shattered glass I left
But you should be happy
And I have to let you go
But I wanna day I’m sorry
Do you ever want someone back once they move on? But love them enough to let them be happy without you

I hated it when you called me 'mine'
when there's no us now on the line

I remember,
You said hi
I said hello
We talked all night
In the breeze of the moonlight
At 3 am we are wide awake
To talk about the memories we will make

I remember,
Those were the highs now I'm at my low
I didn't expect that you'll come and go
At 3 am,
I'm wide awake
Thinking how long will this ache
draft poem for when i was devastated. i'm absolutely happy now
