Stay up all night
Can’t handle tomorrow
Rather dance in the dark until my legs are weak and my head is spinning
I’ll say I put up a fight
Words left unsaid,
Actions left undone,
Filled with regret,
You'll end up alone.
So just go to bed,
Listen to your favorite song.
Baby get some rest,
Because here comes dawn.
i’ve been trying to find love in a billion relationships
and i’ve tried everything i can to make myself feel something
and i’ve pushed my feelings so far behind walls
and i’ve pushed people away to get free
Wet fuzzy socks in my shoe
Squish every time I walk
Around the block with you
Warm winter window smiles
From strangers sharing dinner
Silence-like fame- is transitory,
Idolized yet disregarded,
It's embrace: quite riveting,
Yet it's significance: discarded
Half past twelve
Ticking began
Surrounded by waves
In lengths that fade
Silence screamed
And my heart gave way
To the beast inside
Never felt this way
One drink was all; in the beginning. Free, from a man across the bar.
One kiss was all; in the beginning. Turning into an awkward morning at his place.
Keeps me on my toes like a dancer
Watch my words curtsey at the end of each line
Enunciating as if my words didn't fall short with country
Not ready to confess, but I'll write
You are not alone, but your mind makes you think that way.
What if you're actually alone,
Just not accepting of the fact?
Maybe. Maybe I am.
Pludering towards the shores
the hurricane rises higher,
each wave more fierce then that last.
The sea green water churns
and those on land fear the damage it may do,
It's 11:21pm and I'm questioning. Questioning my availability to not only the world, but to myself. My eyes glazed with past faces that reigned my high school hallways. The realm conquered by the beauty and hormonal impulses of young.
i made a promise—
a shackle,
a chain,
a weight to bear—
inked it into my skin,
let it hover
behind my throat;
I'm the one who always lie
the one who always try
to go and get the girl
but I'm never that guy
I'm always tongue tied
half high one time
when we were chilling
at that party it felt like last night
Abandonment... Insecurity
Self-doubt
Has paved roads
Created an army
Constructed a masterpiece.
Instead of trapping
Caging
My conscience
It's built and mustered forth courage
the mirror needs to be dirtier
if I feel like I can touch my reflection
as if it were another person
the mirror needs to be dirtier
if I am scared of what I see
the mirror needs to be dirtier
soft and furry
try not to scurry
sizing up a lion
we are not buying
no need to freak
the point is bleak
we live among you
its true
the name you gave us
I never understood,
The appeal of a sleeping face,
People,
They sleep all kinds of ways,
With their mouths half open,
Drooling like dogs in the summer,
Or even snoring,
Growling, prowling, and everything inside me… its seizure shaking
My whole body entwining with the movements of the wind, fire, earth... my soul quaking
Late night thoughtsWandering lostThe wolf howls over the silence
Black hole heartEmotions exhaustWalking aimlessly through the dark
Stares for changeWondering costForest scrapes the tired skin
