I'm tired of writing poems
about staying up late and
sleeping all day because
you're haunting my thoughts
and creating sweet dreams
because you do not own me (
that's what I would say
if you did not own me I'm
tired of our routine but
never tired of you)

You took a trip with Lucy,
to leave a world of pain.
She showed you a kaleidoscope of colors, but just left you feeling insane.

And then you danced with Molly, under the flashing lights, but all that did was make you sleep with a different girl that night.

This girl was named Addy, you thought you'd finally found the one. She made you feel so motivated, like you could get anything done. Then she left your heart racing, and made sure you couldn't eat. After 3 days you finally left her, because she'd never let you sleep.

You met a girl so opposite, she went by Mary Jane, with her you felt so at ease, she took away the pain. But your mother didn't like her, and neither did your dad. After awhile you realized that she didn't make you feel any less sad.

So you run back to the other girls,
although they never left.
They aren't too hard to find
when they're always sleeping with your friends.
Just one call and the girls will be back into your bed.
They're hard to get rid of once you let them in your head.

From the time that we met
To the time that is left
Love is the reason
In all that we have

We hang it on signs
Where it's easy to find
That say I am yours
And of course you are mine

For years we have known
We are at home
As we make our way through
This unfinished love poem

That we'll continue to write
With the more that we find
Loves secret between us
In our daily lives

We've taken what works
Outside of the box
Giving love reason
To run its course

Until the end comes
And we both are gone
We'll always be apart of
This unfinished love poem

I’ve learned to appreciate everything
about you after you left me outside
in the rain on vacation
(we weren’t really on vacation
but it always felt like it).
Every time you disappeared, I
imagined the way you sway when
you’re feeling guilty. You never
wanted to hurt me, but influence
me positively. I remember when
you told me they were everything
I couldn’t be but we both had
a good laugh after that one.
I’m not like anyone you’ve had
before so you apologized for
coming and coming back to me
(I wouldn’t leave me either).
I did all the right things to keep
you around so it’s no surprise
that you forced me go

I haven’t been in love for a
while you move so quickly
but you touch so slowly I
feel your every experience you
remember I capture your
thoughts because you are all
of mine wait before you go and
make me just an experience your
twisted ideas are what get me
the most bittersweet pain and
pleasure comes from you laughing
at me because I am not good enough
