let's run away and never look back
this place isn't for us
it hurts me—
all these missed connections,
this guarded vulnerability

i never want to come back here
never again—
these memories i buried
keep coming back to haunt me
it hurts so much i can feel it in my bones

i don't want to listen to the wind
as it whispers all its secrets
i don't want to look at this familiar town
as it drips pain like honey
not anymore—

i want nothing to do with these
blood-soaked histories
let's run away—
leave everything behind
in this ****** town where everything hurts

She Writes Jul 2018
I wrote I love you in the sand
The waves washed it away
Before you got the chance to see

I whispered I love you
Sleep stole you away
Before you got the chance to hear

Maybe this is meant to be
A missed connection
Between you and me
Your name will still go on as a legacy
You turned everyone’s dreams into a reality
You put out the stepping stones leading to success
You were the Walt to my Disney but only so much more
Every door that was closed by doubt was opened with your infinite outpouring of hope and love
Anne Jul 2018
Composing this
to mind to you
how much I miss
your glowing hue
At dusk I would
remember this
I pray you could
remember too
Nine minutes
before I turn
and leave you here
to stay and churn
Your rosy lips
I dreamed upon
will now be gone
by the eclipse
Your name, it scared
my scarlet heart
from every pulse
and every part
Until the dawn
I best move on,
for best of me
from now on
Greek of fire
you make me warm
I could lay here
yet you pay harm
Little by little
I set you free
but all my words
come back to me
Come back to me
I miss your blue
I still love you
please, love me too?
How could I
stop this bleeding?
for my heart's heeding
is your eyes
Who must I
look upon
an inspiration
already gone
These empty skies
And perished stars
my teary eyes
your frozen heart
What such a beautiful creature will be missed so much by the devil

I cannot help
But feel the feeling
That our trains have passed
In the dead of night
One before the other
Ever so slight
Just passing by, one before the other...have we both since turned?

Im done!
Im done!
Im done...trying to chase you!

Done trying to make you See
when you've only just been Looking
Done kocking on your door
You aren't even home
Done wearing my heart on my sleeves
You keep breaking my Arm

I made a fool of myself
With hopes that it'll make you laugh
Offered my All
You didnt even want Half

Now the flames burnt out
And my confidence back on
It'll be too late
When you realise...You Missed Out
Lon Witter May 2018
I'm living day by day
Nothing seems my way
I try hard everyday
But waste my time anyway

Living alone without you
Longing for the days with you
Days get darker and darker
You get further and further

I try to keep up with you
But I can't catch up with you
I tried to follow your steps
But I lost them in the end.
