One day
It seems like a lifetime away
But you know what they say
it's only a day away

On that day
We'll walk hand in hand in the rain
Smile through the pain
We'll be together again

One day
It's only a world away
We'll see each other again
One day

One day
There'll be sunshine in the rain
We'll be happy, you just wait
for that day

One day
I'll fall in love with you
One day
maybe you'll fall in love with me too
He has to understand,
I'm not a happy girl
even if I pretend that I am.
If I feel that he's getting too close,
I'll push him away
so he'll have to keep a good grip on me
so I can't escape.

I'm a hopeless romantic,
so I love cheesy things.
But I like having fun.
I like playing games.

But I'm volatile.
I can be happy one minute
and be sad the next.

He's gotta know this,
so he can run away
while I'm not that attached yet.
I know how it feels
to be tossed aside
I know how it feels
to be a wastage of life

I know how it feels
to be looked down upon
I know how it feels
to be the only fish in the pond

I know how it feels
to be such a burden they bear
I know how it feels
to have feelings that can't be shared

I know how it feels
that ache in your chest
I know how it feels
to be the worst at your best

I know how it feels
to be cast aside, looked over
I know how it feels
as your inner demons grow bolder

I know how it feels
to feel unloved
I know how it feels
to want to go under

But trust me, my dear
it isn't worth it
life will definitely be
worth the wait

I know how it feels
to still be waiting ten years down
I know how it feels
to have that permanent frown

And yes, I'm still waiting
but I still keep hoping
for one day
I'll finally be happy
hopefully
maybe
possibly
Lengthy explanations
for simple altercations
Wordy answers
for the easiest classes

Yet none mean anything
None hold much meaning
Just memorisation
and categorisation

Life goes down the drain
as we watch the rain
Essays about love
fly away like doves
She was the type of girl
who tried her best to love
but recieved none in return

He was the type of boy
who didn't care for much
who didn't crave any touch

She was the type of girl
who place dandelions in her room
to remember that one day
everything would fly away

He was the type of boy
who rode motorbikes by choice
the thrill of the risk
to be close to Death's kiss

She was the type of girl
who had a firm grip on insanity
and often gave way to reality

He was the type of boy
who believe in the realistic roads
and never thought twice about ghosts

She was the type of girl
who didn't believe in choice
but believed in broken toys

He was the type of boy
who rode around all night
looking for misled fights

They were soulmates
But they didn't know
Passing each other in the hallway
Because they thought no one
could understand their pain
Blood-red eyes
burnt edges
striped ties
torn out pages

Furious writing
emotionless minds
tired yet winding
clockwork toys

Stubs of candles
Dripping wax
Something about handles
No, I can't relax

Intense gazes
Empty spaces
Limitless ways
Everything's a haze

Cloudstains
pouring rain
sad music
Personal picks

The story of a boy
Who took too many in the end
I loved him with all my heart
but never did he see
just how much of my heart
he stole from me
with just one smile
and a few little words
If I tried, do you think I could be pretty?
If I tried, do you think I could be smart?
Would the other kids want to play with me?
Will I have more light than dark?

If I tried, could I have been nicer?
If I tried, could I have been someone's saviour?
Could I have been less alone?
Could I have known about love?

If I tried, do you think I could be happy?
If I tried, do you think he could want me?
Could I have caused you less pain?
Could you not be so ashamed?

If I tried, could I have made your life easier?
If I tried, could I have not been a failure?
If I tried, do you think daddy would have wanted me?
Mommy, if I tried, do you think you could love me?

But if I tried, I know I would still fail
And if I tried, I know you still wouldn't be proud
If I tried, I would probably break down
If I tried, I wouldn't have uttered a sound

If I tried, I would end up killing myself
Because, if I tried...
Nothing would have mattered
Well, not anymore

Pretty bows
and promise rings
flowing dresses
and little things

Wooden boxes
with sweet designs
Pinky promises
and white lies

Sweeping poetry

Harsh Winters
and Autumn leaves

Indie rock
Coco pops
Window sills
Movie stills

Fluffy bears
Comfy chairs
Sepia tone
Empty zones

Pouring rain
Dancing trains
Coffee stains
and bloodless veins

Little things
Sweet things
that make me happy
the way I used to be

I calculate the inches in which your smile
has fallen every time I see your face
So don't you dare try to tell me
that you're doing okay
You're dropping clues
inside your voice
I can hear it break
You can only hide in your skin for so long
It's thinner than you think
And you don't know the lengths I'd go
Just to find that ***** blood
You've got tucked away inside your veins
I'll cut you right open
With the questions you don't wanna answer
I'll come flooding in
Until your gates come crashing down
I'll find the pollution you're storing behind them
And learn how to clean it
Before it reaches your heart
I won't let you live like this
You can't get away with all this pain
Your acting days are coming to a close
Your truth is reflected in the spotlight
On your stage
And I'm pulling strings
to make a change
