A day is enough to miss you
A week is enough to want to kiss you
A month is enough to make me crave your hugs
And anything more than that is too much time away from you my love

She grew flowers in her hair

Vines sprout thick at the top of her head
Making way for the beautiful sprouts they bear
An array of colours so vibrant
And textures so different
Oh how envious we all must be
For no one could foresee
This blessing from the gods
In a calm graceful way
She smiles as she sees her reflection
For she just realised
She grew flowers in her hair

#flowers #hair #gods #smile #blessing #envy #woman

Sad, sad girl

Sad sad girl
When will you smile?
Sad sad girl
When will you laugh?
Sad sad girl
Does your cheek not crinkle?
Do your lips not widen?
Do your eyes not wrinkle?
Sad sad girl
Are you not tired?
Are you not done?
Is it not enough?
Sad sad girl
Do you not miss being happy?
Is your heart not tired?
Is your mind not uneasy?
Sad sad girl
Is he worth it?
"Yes"
Are you sure?
"Yes"
Okay then
Sad sad girl
I hope you'll be fine
I hope you'll smile
I hope you'll laugh
Sad sad girl
Chin up
Wipe your tears
Pretend to be fine
No one will know the difference
And maybe one day you'll believe it too
And you'll be fine

I choose you

With all the stars in the sky
And all the planets in our galaxy,
In the cold depth of space
And in the heat of volcanoes
I will choose you
In the depths of cruel despair
And the ecstacy of joy
I will choose you
In hell or in heaven
Whether here or there
No matter where pancake
I will choose you
I will choose you now
I will choose you later
From now to forever
I will always choose you

I'm sorry

What am I doing wrong?
What am I saying wrong?
How do I fail so hard at the one thing I want to accomplish the most
I feel surplus yet inadequate at the same time
I've never felt enough for you
I've never been enough for you
You say I make you happy but you're always sad
It leads me to believe you're just trying to not hurt me
I wish I made you happy
I wish I understood you
But no matter what I do or how hard I try, I never get it
I'm sorry
I'm screaming it in my head and at the top of my lungs I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm inadequate
I'm sorry I don't get you
I'm sorry I'm not good enough
I'm sorry I don't understand you like a girlfriend should
I'm sorry I can't make you happy like a girlfriend would
I'm sorry.
This is not because of today and this is not because of what you said.
Honestly I've never really felt I was enough
I've never really felt I was what you needed
What you wanted
Or who you deserved

Another **** time

Another **** year
In the bathroom
Of another **** hotel
In another **** country
Doing the same old thing
Feeling the same old ****
Feeling empty
Hoping for something to fill me up
When will this end
Maybe it never will
Maybe I deserve it
Maybe I deserve it
Maybe I deserve i
