It's better to have loved and lost,
than to never have loved at all.
I'm sorry that things turned out this way,
I never meant to break your heart.
Despite the happiness I once felt,
And the love that you have shown,
There are things that I have tried to fix,
But Im not sure this is my home.
The things we need just aren't the same,
But I'm grateful for all we are.
Please know that I still care fo...
She was like the sun in my sky,
Constantly lightening up my day just with her presence.
She was perfect.
Being with her felt like being a god,
I had the world at my fingertips.
I loved her everyday with all I could offer,
It may not have been much but it was all I had.
She will forever be the best chapter in my long and complicated life.
That’s why I told her as we parted,
“It’s better to have...
He is my best friend always will be
I did nothing wrong, honest
thick as thieves We were all each other ever had
Never made anyone do anything they didn’t want to do
Can’t match the boy I knew with the things he’s done
Nothing’s wrong with taking gifts
debit cards to dating apps he slid deep into the grift
Is it so bad to tell stories?
To be special is all he ever wanted
Made them feel special...
I’d rather not, I think, experience life’s pain
But then, my friend, what would you gain
The gain, my dear, is preserving my heart
But no, my love, that isn’t very smart
To live without love means emotions run cold
Yes, exactly, living fearless and bold
Who needs the fleeting feeling of love
Living without it, raise quickly above
But years fly by and love is lost
No one now to laugh and toss

J’ai encore ton collier,
j’ai gardé une trace de toi,
un signe que tu étais là,
une preuve que tu as existé.
On me demande si je regrette,
d’être resté malgré tout,
comme si tu n’avais jamais été doux.
Je refuse de voir notre amour comme une perte.
On s’est aimé à s’en détruire,
notre amour nous a brûlé,
notre amour nous a blessé,
On s’aimait à en mourir.
Mais on s’aimait,
d’un amour qu’on ne r...
Today I am grateful
I can have no regrets
I was never innocent
I have a special kind of life now.
I am trying figure out what it means
God was trying to save me
He closed doors I couldn’t
He knew I wouldn’t
I am thankful for God letting me see him
Getting know him love him
I learn a lot from him
Everyone says you are so smart
But that is from all them years
Of listening to him
I am glad I...
Hands brushing hands
One ecosystem of bacterium fusing with the other
Temperatures morphing and matching
Until two strangers are no longer unfamiliar
(It was just a hand touch, nothing more)
Eyes blazing, buttes burning
Finding one another in a busy room
Soundless words traverse and exchange
An entire conversation with closed lips
(You over romanticize everything, it’s not that deep)
I...
Without you I was alone, with you I found my home
Without you I was thriving, better off on my own
But through you I found love
I love myself more than you
With you I found myself
I guess I never loved the real you
I feel more alive like I’ve finally left my cocoon
Life is so different now you’ve joined the pink white and blue
I guess it’s better to have loved and lost so I know how...
But I learned so much
Next time google it
No one has the Midas touch
Especially in a snake pit
I wanted to help them heal
Instead they made you sick
It’s not that big a deal
The devils biggest trick
Yes the enemy was at play
He wasn’t completely to blame
Alright! I’m not going to stay
And still they feel no shame
Who is they? Not my colleagues?
No it was never their fault
I’m reall...

-Should I be plugging my ears for this?
Isn’t that what you do whenever I’m talking?
A PAUSE.
Can we start again?
ANOTHER PAUSE.
Okay, alright, I’m sorry. I just get al riled up whenever people start sprouting all this loves saves the day sh-

Doesn’t it bother you?
A PAUSE.
Actually, I think it’...
