Time and time again This pattern repeats You reach out With half-apologies With hollow plans With fake promises As the date nears I meet only silence Like a ghost Existing on my phone The lack of follow-through Disappoints As you Houdini out The moment I open You vanish

Mr. Coldfeet
Did I waste my life? In waiting for something? Or anything that can warm my cold feet. Did I lose a part of my life? In taking a step back. Did I manage my self more than the love I crave? Nothing change, I am not as proactive and as eager to find that warmth? Perhaps, I never care from the start.

Confession#1
Todays one of those days Had coffee spilled on my face But i’m lucky cause it was cold just like my feet They wouldn’t move out of place She told me she might get an apartment A few states away She could tell by the tone of my voice I was keeping my emotions at bay So many sentences so little sense so I decided to say “I don’t really care anymore, don’t we all just do what we want anyway?” She said hey It's not about here or there It’s not about you or me It’s about what makes us happy And i'm not happy I watched clocks turn into calendars And her smile make a U turn Eventually leaving town Now i’m sitting at home hoping to hear the doorbell Or a knocking sound But it’s quiet and i’ve got this ringing in my ears And it sounds a bit like all my worst fears And despite my best efforts it won’t disappear Just like the feeling from when you were here She called and said hey It’s not about here or there It’s not about you or me It’s about what makes us happy And I think i’m happy I wish you were happy But honey where’s your sweetness gone? I’ve got a bitter taste left on my tongue But honey where’s your sweetness gone? Why did it have to leave while we were young

Colder Than Winter
Why is it that my hands are hot And my feet are freezing cold? Could it be that a fleeting heart Would be hesitant instead of bold?
