#brokenfriendships
If friendship was a flower Pretty and full of colours I'd be colorblind For a while I'd lose sight If friendship was a song Pitched with highs and lows I'd only hear the lows Filled with sorrow and flaws If friendship - i could touch Tender warm and soft I'd never want to brush There's a fear that keeps me locked If friendship was a smell Floral and fresh My breath - I'd hold Cuz I'd rather choke It's the worst of all loves Strongest of all bonds Paints a black stain Leaving eternal pain

Numb
Is it all too much when I ask for nothing? Just for you to say 'hi' in the halls, And ask if I'm okay when I'm crying in the corner, But it's all too much for you. Is it all too much when I say a word? Just one single word about myself, And even when the words are ones you should care about, It's all too much for you. Is it all too much when I hang around? Just to be there and not be lonely-stricken like I am, And have someone to keep me accountable, But it's all too much for you Because even when I'm sad, and down, Even when I stay up late for your wallows, Even when I need to rant because then I'll scream, And I listen to all of your creations without a second thought. Even when I'm just there; silent, invisible, You'll still push me out. I know that I'm weird, a mess—different, But so are you, and that's what makes us fit. But now you glare at me from down the hall, So I'm sorry this can't mend, But that's alright with you, isn't it?

too much
I hold you in songs and stories I narrate, Turns out I was right all along. We now know I did love you more. We’ve had arguments before. On who’s hurt who the most. You’d say I did you, And I’d yell “oh please” You’d bring up the one time I slipped up, And I’d hold onto the million times you let me down. Your secrets mine, your scars mine. Not that I was a better person, we were both kids after all. And then I heard. you’ve been telling people. Versions that don't exist. What can I say, I know we’ve had arguments before. There will be no more. I know it hurts, trust me, I do. However, You did hurt me more. And the price of it belongs to you. And I’d rather walk away now, Walk away and never come back Irrespective of how much I miss you. Irrespective of how it feels. I’ll walk away, and never return. Return to see how things could’ve been if I had stayed. I hope in some time, I would have moved on, That you would replace me. This is the way it is supposed to be. This is the play we made to see. It’s not our fault, We were never meant to be.

Her
Can a cloud be beautiful if it remains in one place? Will you still love me if I chose to stay? Stay angry Stay dejected Stay miserable And be affected... By the past And the pain you caused to make it last Am I being reasonable or destructive? Is it in my heart to have forgiveness? Even though you don't deserve it. Can a cloud be beautiful if it remains in one place? The clouds might cry, The rain in sky. They might roar and thunder as anger. But it always passes by The clouds never stop moving on Makes me wonder why can't I

Forgiveness
People swerving in and out of my life Like a drunk driver These people are carwrecks And there are no survivors But I never thought I'd see you Behind the wheel Ive cried a tear for each person I have loved I've planted seeds in a graveyard of memories That I can only visit when I am brave enough Because I never thought they'd leave- There are still alive and breathing No candles or flowers can relieve me Because bits and peices Are dead to me With rose colored shades you placed on my face I couldn't see the ugly colors beyond The pretty, And the pink For the nights we howled at the moon Went by too soon And on the otherside of the shades You never even saw me I was a stepping stone, A thing in between Where you wanted to be And you're not sorry You are a ghost in my chest, And its haunting How quickly a bond thicker than blood Can bleed out When you've ripped up your own skin Trying to find out If our hearts would still go out to you I was a stepping stone I was the sign Pointing to home I was the journey, Dropped off at the destination And left all alone I am still carrying your bags, Its such a heavy load You can have them back Here you go No wonder, it must be hard to think With such a one track mind You are not stupid, Or blind You have eyes But you have never seen us You took our love And kept it, Will always have it But enough, Is enough Tough love

Tough Love
Goodbye This is a product of my emotions Messy as it is Jumbled and in need to be released. I’m saying goodbye, To the past so beautiful and green, To the darkness so bright and dull. I’ve hidden myself for way too long, Spent days running from the corners and hiding from my demons, Accepting fate but not realizing it. I’m saying goodbye. As I write this my mind holds me back, it whispers to my heart that “It doesn’t hurt” Yet my heart stares blankly, wondering “If it doesn’t hurt why am I so clouded with this pain, why do I want to fix us over and over again?” It’s painful, having this need to fight Having this gnawing feeling inside. How does one say goodbye to someone they once loved? Someone you would and still will do anything for them? I’ve watched my hope wither with each second of empty promises, broken dreams and unfulfilling conversations. I heard my heart shatter into pieces consistently from truths that I was hearing from third parties while you confidently orchestrated lies to me. My mind warned me, sparks flew from then. It told me that we were done but my heart refused, “This is all a misunderstanding”, “I’m not quite as open, I’m to blame” Running on those words, I healed my heart with lies. But as flashbacks of when I teared my walls, showed you how defenseless I was as grief and mourning controlled me, was I not open enough? Or was it too much that I was not worth the honesty? I sensed my eyes ***** with tears as I noticed how much of a season I am to you. It hurts, not as much as it should be and thanks goes to my mind. “As long as you anticipate it. It won’t be that bad” it said. There’s no fixing us, There’s no being about this facade, No matter how ‘happy’ I might have been. But why, Am I so hopeful that the lie you sputtered of fixing us will be turned to truth? Why? When my heart needs to understand that this is goodbye Your silence and lack to reach out screams in agony of goodbye. So why am I still hoping?

Those were the days We saw each other each day Things change, people change but pictures remain the same All those little things you said I think of them and they make me think Is there a part of the story I misread? Laying on my bed, all lights off I look outside the window See nothing but fog Just like the weather, our relation seems hazy I told you to love me only if you can stay only if you can learn to stand still and not drift away Don't turn out to be like others After all, people they come they go I told you people always leave You promised me you'd stay Now there's no sign of you I can't believe I'm fragile that you know Please tell me our love didn't outgrow I'm only as weak as I am strong Our friendship was supposed to last lifelong Regardless of what you did Just know that I love you oh Maybe loving you was stupid I'm dying inside but I'm putting up a show We'd go to the gym, cook and eat together We'd chill, we'd laugh, there was no pressure Where did the good times go? Now I look at your picture and just miss you so Trying so hard to figure out What went wrong, My heart is filled with doubt Asking myself why don't we hang out? We really used to get along So I say, come back and let's live again Let's laugh until the end Come back and let's start over So much left to learn, so much to discover So I say, come back cause I miss you Life ain't the same without you Let's stay up until 2 am Cause you're the breath that I breathe from the bottom of my diaphragm

You play a song so calm, To slow down your heart pace. You try to cover up, The sadness on your face. The news that you just heard, Although you already knew, Has beaten you real hard And caused something to brew. Inside you feel like fire, Like a smoking, bubbly pit. It knocks you off your feet, And causes you to sit. You cannot answer how, Or even question why, But the first chance that they got, They simply just said goodbye. You play the song so calm, To bring back who you are, And remember that they're gone. They're gone so very far. And they never truly cared, They never thought of you. But these are facts you know.. It's just a harsh thing that they're true.
