we lived our own little lifetime
hiding away in the bathroom
from fake friends and scary adults
running lines and telling each other stories
from the past
your past was a bit desolate
but i promise you, your future is brighter
you have the potential to rewrite the stars
your beauty is unimaginable and your intellect is even greater
every moment spent with you was like living a thousand lives

i don’t know where you went or where you are now
i wish i did
but what am i supposed to do?

you’re my best friend, kennedy.
i miss you.
this poem's for kennedy. she told me about this little corner of the internet in the first place. i miss her every day.

singing is a
melody creator
collection of memories
emotional outlet
happiness sharer
giver of life to words.

i stare more than i talk when you're around
and hope that you don't notice
it's not my fault you leave me speechless- i'm just bad with words
it's artless adolescence

when you're gone i miss you bad and i can't cope
i'm stuck here while i wait for you

tell me it's all going to be okay
it's fine to feel this way
tell me you feel it too
and when you're away- too far away
tell me that you miss me too

you've given me the proof i need, but my brain's still a wreck
a roller coaster of cynicism
but there's hope yet, you seem to like it when i'm all choked up
that's failure at it's finest

when you're silent i miss you bad and i can't cope
i'm stuck here while i wait for you

tell me it's all going to be okay
it's fine to feel this way
tell me you feel it too
and when you're away- too far away
tell me that you miss me too

i wish i missed the weekends
but now i'm torn up a day without you here,
staring at the white walls you splattered with green
i wish i missed innocence
being able to fall asleep at night,
but i'm wide awake and i don't hate it.

take a step, take a breath
an ordinary day-to-day routine
while your life falls apart, nothing's changed
the world keeps spinning

take a walk in the park
blank stares straight ahead
but the birds keep on singing their tunes
above your head

and you know how you're loved so
but not anymore by him,
yet his voice still remains in your mind
like the birds you passed by

do whatever you need
to feel as though you're still complete
keep your eyes closed,
there's beauty in everything if you know to create it

and you know how you're loved so
but not anymore by him,
yet his voice still remains in your mind

and you go back to where you know
where nothing can hurt you
and the birds sing the songs that you love

though you long for his love
the beauty of love.

noise getting louder
temperature's rising
room's getting crowded
but i'm still up pacing

why don't you tell me i'm overthinking
why don't you tell me i should start dreaming

i know i'm just being overdramatic again
what was i thinking? i should be content
with just pretending that i'm happy

breath getting heavy
i know what you're thinking
and you say you're sorry
but you don't mean it

why don't you tell me i'm overthinking
why don't you tell me i should start dreaming

i know i'm just being overdramatic again
what was i thinking? i should be content
with just pretending
that
       i'm
             happy
one of my favorite songs i've ever written

can't tell you something
when my head's got nothing
it's a vicious game

crying out but nothing
afraid i might be sinking
into the mainstream

i think with my heart
and love with my brain
i'm so torn apart
but addicted to pain
i'm staying up late,
and you're fast asleep
you're fast asleep

you're moving on to bigger better things
i'm so far gone, caught in a jetstream
you can try to bring me back
but i get in my own head
over and over again
you're moving on, and i'm your beautiful mistake.
verse and chorus of a song i kinda halfway liked? need opinions!!
