_I love you _

I hear your voice

God, what fool made that choice

How did I believe every word you said

How did I not see that it was a dead end

_I live for your smile _

Your favorite song is engraved in my mind

I still go out at night, hoping it’s you I find

I order your favorite drink when you said it was mine

And I still regret all of those tears I cried saying I was fine

_Where are yo...

(Someone who moved on easily)

Your face

It’s there

I smell your fragrance

But I’ve moved on

I have a new girl

A new life

There’s a cold phone there

I can’t believe it’s over

Am I happy

(Someone who’s taking their time moving on)

Am I happy

I can’t believe it’s over

There’s a cold phone there

A new life

I have a new girl

But I’ve moved on

I smell your fragrance

It’s there

Your face...

They spit in his face, and wonder why he’s angry

Starve him to death, and wonder why he’s hungry

Beat him alive, and ask him why he’s bruised

Never show him love, and ask him who he’ll choose

They burn his skin, and laugh at his scars

Hurt him in the sun, so he likes the stars

Killed his spirit, and ask him to be alive

Wonders endlessly, so is this a life

Forced him to scream, so he never...

In the beginning of my life, you were there

Nourishing me and giving your care

You played ball with me everyday

And after work I’d hear you say

“What a good boy you are”

Then why did we get in this car

Why did the bottle find you

And what did you let it do to you

What monster has taken you from me

And why do you yell when it’s I you see

Do you not hear my whimpers after your beats

And wh...

The red road is where I go

When I’m lost and need to go home

When the world weighs on me like a bottle cull of jack

And when it hurts to much to go back

The red road is where I go

When they scream and yell and let me bleed so

It pulls me to a reality

And plays me fables that I’ve never seen

The red road is where I go

It’s made of my blood and of my soul

It’s as sharp as a blade and cuts ...

I sit by myself in my room

Staring out the windows as I await my doom

There’s a song that plays in reverse

But I alone know each and every verse

It’s sad what the rain says to me

As the song plays its melody

It begs me to listen, to open my heart

But for many years, it hasn’t a start

Drops of rain spill in from a window crack

Hoping to warn my and bring me back

But long since the days o...

Frank is my best friend. Sure, he’s a bit odd and has some issues, but he’s my best friend. Frank and I have been best friends since kindergarten. I used to be really scared of Frank, since he was smaller than me. I outgrew it.

I haven’t seen Frank in a week. It’s concerning. Usually, we hang out for movie nights on Fridays, but he’s an hour late. He didn’t call to cancel, which pisses me off ev...

He’s a monster. I know it. I’ve known it since the day I saw him in the Cathedral. He’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

But my mother has always told me that we have to help the monsters. Oh, how naive I was. I went to him. I talked to him. I tried to know him.

And soon, I felt like I was on Cloud Nine. The world around me was better. I melted the heart of ice and saw the kindest heart. I love...

Do you? Or have you just convinced yourself of that? Have you just told yourself that you’ve seen her through every single event of her life? Have you just seen enough of her to believe that?

Have you seen every single time she has cried? Have you seen every single rage that she has raged? Have you seen every single smile that she has smiled? Have you seen it all? Have you seen her at her worst?...

Who are we when no one is watching?

The question that is never asked. Why? Because no one wants to see what lies beyond their vision. No one wants to know that they’re wrong. They believe what they see until they learn otherwise. Sometimes, they don’t believe that until they see it.

Whatever lies beyond their line of sight is heartbreaking. It’s change. It’s scary. It’s something they don’t wa...
