Love is the lie that keeps us alive
We puncture each other deeply
And explore what’s inside
We find what we don’t like
And cover it up with more and more lies

You expect me to be sorry
But the truth is I’m not
I won’t comfort you with a lie
Or act like I forgot

I’m anything but bitter
Neither perfect
And I won’t always handle things accordingly
But I will handle t...
She’s been gone too long
Stuck in a daze of stolen possibilities
As if life wasn’t hard enough
It turns out loving herself was even harder
And all of those tears began to overflow
Filling up jars of her insecurities
Wasted, heavy
And as they hit the floors of her heart she realized
She would never be the same
She was gone
