cold water feels warm when you’re freezing
falling can seem like you’re flying
your attention is nice when I’m deprived of his
but it’s nothing more than that, I assure you
I just crave attention
but I think you want my heart
I’m giving into the stupid games
hope it doesn’t tear you apart
hope it doesn’t tear me apart
I should probably stop...
listen close
I am here
I don’t make a sound
but I am here
can you hear?
look closely
can you see?
I go unnoticed
slip through the cracks
still
I am here
do you hear?
do you see?
listen closer
carefully now
I’m silent but
I am here
I always have been
look closer
that’s it
I’m invisible but
I am here
and I’m not going anywhere
I am here
I’ve been here
can you hear me now?
can you see me now?

open skies beckon in something broader
tidal waves push seashells on and offshore
the coastal sand longs for the taste of seawater
the shining moon wishes to be something more
the trees are bare as the leaves flitter down
the bluebirds and their songs are long gone
the squirrel’s acorn resembles your crown
the grass is greenest in the forest’s own lawn...
you don’t have to feel pain
at least, not in your heart
you can save yourself
from being torn apart
from feeling a piercing, everlasting pain
from heartbreak
he can’t break your heart
if it’s not his
he can’t break your heart
if you don’t show it to him
he can’t break your heart
if you don’t let him in
all the hurt
the lingering pain
the endless tears
would be spared
if you just
forgot about h...
growing up, we read fairytales, stories about being a princess saved by a handsome prince.
we’re told that we have to get married, and to do that, find love.
I had that engrained in my dreams when I was a little girl, and ever since.
you’re supposed to find the one, a guy who you fit with like a hand in a glove.
the problem is, I haven’t had much luck with that just yet—guys don’t like me lik...
some nights I lay silently on the grass and listen to the trees argue.
it’s a needed escape from my family’s fights, especially when my dad’s had a few.
they’re good people and I know they mean well but it’s tearing me apart.
I don’t know how to feel better, I don’t know how to mend my broken head and my broken heart.
some days I lay, sinking in the sand, and let the sound of the waves take aw...
I will not walk this earth without you
if you left, I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be broken, more than I am now
no, no, you leaving, I can’t allow
I will never smile, never laugh
if I ever have to put you in the past
without you, I’d be a mess
I really do love you, I must confess
I know I don’t say it much, but it’s true
the one person I care about is you
you can’t leave me
I won’t let it be
you ...
she fell for a guy, he broke her heart
she should’ve known better from the start
she gave it her all, but for him it was a game
in the end, his lies broke her all the same
it just felt so real, so different, so good
she didn’t know love, and wanted to see if she could
but he didn’t feel the same, that much she knows now
he’s a jerk, a meanie, a big, fat cow
why lie and say he cares when it wasn’t ...
