lately, i've been down— and i don't understand why it still haunts me. i thought this would be the last time. i was ready to move on, but there was one last storm i didn’t account for. i know— pain isn’t linear, and sometimes, the thunder rolls before the rain takes form. but love was never meant to last, not today, not tomorrow— not even if you asked. so baby, i ask of you: let this love live in the past. there won’t be a final act— just two hearts moving forward, intact.

let this love (live in the past)
he fell out of love and it broke her she spends her time trying to find the light in her eyes that once shined so bright now nothing feels right her mind is a mess her face expresses distress she’s in pieces and still all she can think is “Is he alright?”

will this feeling ever go away?
I hope it felt weird when he touched you, and it didn't feel like me. When he stroked your cheek, and his hands weren't soft like mine. I want to be remembered, in every kiss you receive, in every touch. He's not worthy to be loved by you, no one is. How could he have won your heart so fast I wonder? So quick you are, to want love again.

Foreign
“So strong, so fierce, forever bright is the fire that lines my core. The burning and churning of my brain, will it end; never will come that day. Ignite my heart, set it aflame. Blood seeps from past mistakes, I feel no pain, so I ponder on the idea of going away. I scream at you, you’ll scream back, but I’ll scream louder leaving a crack. I’ll always be louder, pushing you farther and farther back. Take my reins, try and take control, I’ll forever reign in this big black hole. Long live the past, a part of me that will forever last”

Long live my past
“Grocery store glances, and one right hand turn. Run away from roaming eyes, ignore the faded t-shirt and broadened back. Eyes of blue, eerie, distant and filled with dismay. Dangerous and taunting, tormenting my insides, so I’m daring the fates and stealing a glance, all the while I’m losing a staring contest. I sigh, and try not to remember. Heart hammering and breathing begins to become heavy. Heart aches, and bones shake. Surrendering the thought of you, while sanding down my heart to refinish it to its normal state. Steady breathing, and bare bodies, memories flash, heated glances and hurtful chanting. Hating distances and grocery bags, I sag at the thought of you, and forget why I ever hated you.”

Groceries & forgotten feelings
You keep asking me about my past lovers and whether i still have feelings for them. You become upset when i don’t keep a straight face. Yet, it is not my fault. For i can’t help but smile when i think about later tonight. Pore excreting upon pore, and how my fingers will through comb your hair.

If only I was pretty like the girl you are with now, If only it lasted longer and you stuck around If only i never met you, i wouldnt be so sad, If only my heart didnt break so easily, i might of not been mad over the good times we spent and the endless hours we would call to talk and vent Because its the good memories that come with the pain If only we were still together, if only it stayed the same J.M

If only
You don't make me cry anymore. When my mind glides by your amorous glow, Our past no longer slows my rhythm. You struck a chord, and our light diminished. A musicians sword, cuts like a prism. This prison I've put us in, Is no longer fitting, For rainbows arch too far from tradition, And a white dress only fits on a ****** It's urgent that, I spell check my wording, cause My inner workings are always flirting with The idea of falling for you again.

You Don't Make Me Cry Anymore
I've found a place you can't touch a place where you're hidden, tucked away You're not even up yet so you barely even exist I'm blowing smoke out my driver's side window the extravagant houses flying past their enormous trees and driveways glowing in the sun's rays No one is on the street not even the BMWs and Mercedes just me with my music blasting and the gardners

You always love me in the mornings and then forget about me by the afternoon
Sometimes when my conscious thoughts cease, and I let my mind wander into a dream, My memory swells with the smells of the soft sea breeze, and holding your hand as we walked with a perfect feeling of peace. Though the love that we shared came and went with such ease, I still miss you sometimes on quiet days like these. And I wonder where you wander, when your conscious thoughts cease
