I knew from the start you will leave just like the rest why did i expect a change? Would tears change anything? I don’t feel hot or cold should I? The love, the joy, it last for a while, but in the end it’s always me thinking about you. The seasons changed they’ll come back again, brand new. BUT It doesn’t feel the same without you. To be lost in you is nothing new to me. Though only memories remain of us. A heart beating with no soul. i want to live in the present but how can i forget the past? Time will pass from fall to spring. would you ever notice? the footsteps behind you are gone. you should have known better. you always did. The world moved on, so why am i still stuck? The water eventually stills, but it remains in the memory. It was worth every penny, and now it’s back to day one just me, waiting for none.

Still you
if it all went away today, would you still be mine? if it all went away today, will i be fine? the clock just ticks away, and these wasted years have left me astray. i can’t re-live, and live in fear, but i don’t know how to set myself free. (is anybody there?) i’m not well, and time will tell when the pieces finally fit together, and i make sense of this hell. if it all went away today, would you still be mine?

would you still be mine?
We never said goodbye We just became strangers with memories I watched you turn soft confessions into exit wounds We made promises just to break them quietly You loved me like a secret you were ashamed of I loved you like a future that never arrived You held back when I needed you the most I gave everything to someone already gone Some nights I hear you in every song Some mornings I wish you’d haunt me less This is how I bury you One song at a time

Heartbreak Eulogy
It feels like delayed grief, these tears that beg to fall now. They blocked you, cut you off from knowing their lives. But if we’re being honest— you erased them first. So don’t suffer for this. You were never that important to them. If you had been, things would never have ended this way. They don’t belong to you anymore. You live another life now. They’re still stuck with the same problems, the same conversations, the same songs. And you— you are more awake, more lucid, more whole than before. So let the ache in your chest, the sting in your eyes, the lump in your throat— come and go. You are not there anymore. You are here. You are the sky, not the clouds.

You Are the Sky
Who the hell you think you are? to take my spark you were meant to light it not dim it now it just flickers barely alive Who the hell you think you are? to make my eyes lose their sight with the very tears that once searched for your smile Who the hell you think you are? to make the hand that reached for you bleed Who the hell you think you are? to scar the skin that once stayed soft for you Who the hell you think you are? to shatter the heart that only beat your name Who the hell you think you are? to make a body live like it’s dying just because it loved you WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!? __________________________________________________ Who the hell you think you are? to give your spark away to someone who dimmed it Who the hell you think you are? to let your tears fall until your vision faded Who the hell you think you are? to let your fingers bleed for someone who never reached back Who the hell you think you are? to let them write pain onto your skin Who the hell you think you are? to hand your heart over only to watch it break Who the hell you think you are? to let someone bury you in silence while you're still breathing Who the hell you think you are? to let them hurt you and call it love WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!? Who the hell you think you are ? to make me hate my self to make angry on myself to make me regret the choices I made WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!?

Who the hell you think you are?
I cut my hair today and you'll never know, I held it together in that salon, but I cried the whole way home, they told me life would go on, but I wasn't prepared for what that meant, crying at every change whether it's your hair or losing friends you cry because it hits you, you're still growing up, and you have to do it now without someone you really loved, little things will happen, and big things will too, and every time I will look to the sky, and hope you saw them too, I go over the list in my head every single day, all of the things you'll never know, things I'll never get to say, like I cut my hair today, and when I looked in the mirror, I loved the girl I'm becoming and hated that you'll never meet her.

Things You'll Never Know
I look in the mirror and see someone softer— Not weaker, But worn in a way love tends to leave behind. There was a time I loved blindly, Loudly, Without asking if the ground could hold me. I called it strength, But it was fear Wearing confidence like perfume. Now, I measure my footsteps. I pause before giving too much. I speak, not to be heard— But to be honest. You wouldn’t recognize the way I love now. Not because it’s gone, But because it’s grown quiet, Rooted deeper, No longer searching for permission to bloom. I am still learning. Still unlearning. Still loving. But I am not the same. And maybe— That’s what healing really is.
