I can still feel your presence here,
It feels stuck to my skin.
I was afraid that if i let you go
I would never see happiness again
There are nights where my dreams of you are so vivid
That i wake up and immediately grab a pen
But no matter how many times i write to you
I never seem to win
These poems to you are a battle
Between my happiness and your peace
The feelings that I felt for you are indescribable
And i could try to write a list, but i know you aren’t for keeps
So i get lost in a sea of words, and suddenly I cannot breathe

I let him in
I let him see who i was
I let him see my past
I don't let people in
He left me
He left me broken
He left me with a realization
I can't let people in
No matter how close we become
They will never get to know me
All because of a boy who was too scared to love

Sometimes we don’t see it until it’s too late
Sometimes we don’t leave until we’re too far gone
Here’s to the people that were put through hell
But still managed to find their own heaven
Here’s to the people that are healing their own scars
We’re healing one day at a time
And we are healing without a materialistic love
We don’t need you to fix us
We have been broken before
We have healed before
We aren’t afraid of the dark anymore

you were never scared of the dark
but what was in it
the dark holds secrets
that only we can hear
we stay up all night
writing for them
maybe what we write
is the dark
maybe
we are the darkness

I am so lonely
yet not alone
maybe i am living in this house
but this will never be my home

they say heaven
is a place up above
but darling
when im with you
and the light shines through the windows
into your hazel eyes
heaven is right in front of me
heaven is you
