You have a smell
That I try to put myself inside.
Wear it like I wear your t-shirts
When I've given up on fumbling for my own
in the darkness.
I like that in bed I can see your face
illuminated by a scurvy-ridden moon.
I have to bite my lips
and yours
to keep prenatal words in, sometimes.
I wonder how big a part of my life
you'll have been
once you're no longer a part of it.
Maybe I love you, or maybe
you just smell safe.

What the **** do you see in me?
Why do you stick around?
I find it difficult to believe
That I'm the greatest thing you have found

Why do you love me?
Do you ever wonder?
Or are you oblivious
To the spell you're under?

I'm so far from perfect
You're so very near
How is it that both of us
Are not as black and white as we appear?

Am I your worst nightmare
Or still your dream come true?
Lately it's been cloudy and grey
Do you miss when skies were blue?

I'm constantly replaying memories
Of yesterday in my head
How do I stop living in the past
And make new ones in the present instead?

Will you help me find myself again?
Or have I been lost far too long?
Which direction is the right one?
What do I keep doing wrong?
Haven't written a part to thus in a long time

If i stand tall,
Would you try to break me?
If i said i wouldn't,
would you try to make me?
these are the questions i ask myself
questions i implore so i don't feel like a book on a shelf.
questions i ask myself

Coincidence, I think not
It was meant to happen
G-d handed you your one shot

Every word, every action has its counter effect
who chooses to fulfill the master plan
is one who dares to bet

It could be simple, something taken for granted
It could be grand, and you still might not understand it

If we were to see the end to every beginning
The reason behind every moment
Do you think we would still be debating

Does G-d exist
And if he does, then why did he do this?

I was for you
You made me feel love on every plane, see
You were strong and beyond your years
I looked forward to our 1 year anniversary
Together
Our life together- we flowed
I trusted you
I allowed you to see my nakedness
my asymmetry
I wanted you
I desired you
You inspired me entirely
I loved you
You were more thoughtful
More compassionate
More temperate.

With everyday we said good morning
Then goodnight while it was storming
I watched you slept
We dreamed together- so I thought
I admired every inch of your body, mind and spirit
I loved for all eternity, if you wanted forever
Asymmetry
Our time could've been stronger and exuberant
I was for you
Our friendship blossomed into a love I had no clue I could taste
Thank you for giving me just the sample.

I was there for you
I supported every goal and aspiration
I craved your ascension
Our ascension
And if you ever felt lonely
I was in that space with you
I pray we grow even more closer, stronger and deeper in love
You had me.

Were you ever mine?
This was originally written in the present tense but as it was fleeting and short lived, I changed it.

As I stare at the empty stage,
"When will I find my place?"
I think that I deserve to live.
"When will I find my way home?"
I think that I am lost.
As I stare at the empty stage
No one else around.
I sit at this piano fence and play my song.
I think that I'm losing it.
"When will I find my place inside?"
I think I deserve to run.
"When will I meet my end of hiding?"

Have you ever listened to me in your dreams?
Do you know me like you do a memory?
Do you my voice stuck in your head?
Do you know my name just as your own?
If you do, then you're amazing.
Do you cry yourself to sleep in your own?
Have you ever scared your skin as well?
Do you have your mother's picture by your bed?
Do you need some one to comfort you?
If you do, I'm perfect for you.
Do you smile to yourself?
Do you love you like you should?
Have you never felt lonely or misunderstood?
Do you not need some one to feel loved?
If so, you're better off alone.
