Sweet darling in a sleeping bag on the streets. He thinks he hears someone’s footstep as it repeats. The voice in his head sings lullabies’ lines. Lullabies no one sang to him in a long time.
He thinks he hears someone’s footstep as it repeats. He’s can’t open his sleeping bag, he’s too meek. Lullabies no one sang to him in a long time. It comes with gentle, rusty, inaudible chimes.
He can’t open his sleeping bag, he’s too meek. Nor ask for help, not wanting to be seen as weak. It comes with gentle, rusty, inaudible chimes. He wonders when he can he call his own body “mine”?
You bore a twilight halo, soft and clear, The last time I saw you, the night slowly crept through the Autumn air. With your beautiful face, I glimpsed the edge of dreams you held so near, Looking at me with love, your gaze, a quiet flame beyond compare.
The last time I saw you, the night slowly crept through the Autumn air, I could not forget that time was fading fast. Looking at me with love, your gaze, a quiet flame beyond compare, Would be seal my fate when dawn came at last.
It all eventually fell into place. First we were friends. But then we weren’t. And now we’re something extraordinary.
First we were friends. Then it all fell apart. And now we’re something extraordinary. Friends to enemies to lovers is what we are.
Then it all fall apart. We couldn’t even be in the same room for a time. Friends to enemies to lovers is what we are. It’s strange how labels can change so quickly.
You asked me what I like about you But dear isn’t it clear I can’t decide
What I like about you What isn’t there to like? I can’t decide Everything about you
What isn’t there to like? You’re not perfect Everything about you I love you flaws and all
You’re not perfect But perfection is overrated I love you flaws and all You’re real
But perfection is overrated I don’t want to love a robot You’re real You’re you
I don’t want to love a robot You have personality You’re you I love you
You have personality So colorful and vibrant I love you The light of my life
So colorful and vibrant Creative and caring The light of my life The filling to my pie
Creative and caring Laugh like a spring The filling to my pie My everything
This world feels different without your energy. The burn of regret. Overshadows, my positive emotions. I didn’t mean for this- Standoff. I want to share myself. I don’t mean to close my borders. Nothing helps close this hole. Giving up seemed reasonable. Occasionally… I feel a spark again. Hope spirals through me. Butterflies sprout within. I found someone I could love again….
Dear Julia I know I fucked it up Can I be forgiven
I know You can’t love me Can I be forgiven? It’s all I have to offer
You can’t love me After what I did It’s all I have to offer To give you an explanation
After what I did I still love you To give you an explanation I wanted to be honest
I still love you After I told you I wanted to be honest I wasn’t satisfied
After I told you I just wanted more love I wasn’t satisfied From your worries
I just wanted more love I just wasn’t recovering From your worries Of whose watching us
I just wasn’t recovering From the constant fear Of whose watching us Pretending like this wasn’t our time
From the constant To the endless neglect Parenting like this wasn’t our time To be left alone
To the endless neglect Of my own wants and needs To be left alone I’m in the cold
Of my own wants and needs I gave you my jacket and I’m in the cold I praise you like the lord
I gave you my jacket and Spectated as we fell in and out I praise you like the lord I still wonder how
Spectated as we fell in and out Of my patient I still wonder how I still love you
Of my patients Waiting for it I still love you From, your breaking lover
I think I love you. Maybe I'm moving too fast. I can't stop my thoughts. Especially when you look at me like that.
Maybe I'm moving too fast. I can't help but think you're pretty. Especially when you look at me like that. From across the crowded bar.
I can't help but think you're pretty. You grasp your cross necklace. From across the crowded bar, I smile softly.
You grasp your cross necklace, nervously fidgeting. I smile softly. You seem so nice.
Nervously fidgeting, I reach out to still your hand. you seem so nice. i just had to approach you.
I reach out to still your hand. your eyes meet mine. i just had to approach you. what's your name?
I’m in your yard once again Call for me How long will I be exiled? With your hands on my strings.
Call for me I know I’m the only one waiting for you. With your hands on my strings. Can’t I just walk away?
I know I’m the only one waiting for you Your phone book of lovers has been ashes. Can’t I just walk away? With a grin on your face you turn around now.
Your phone book of lovers has been ashes. Since I realized you had one. With a grin on your face you turn around now. I soon realize, you could spin forever.
Since I realized you had one. A heart that I’m sure everyone else has seen. I soon realize you could spin forever. And days would pass without me in your orbit.
A heart that I’m sure everyone else has seen. Yet all I know is your windows. And days would pass without me in your orbit. I hold my gaze at your figure.
Yet all I know is your windows. Aren’t they like your eyes, the window to a soul? I hold my gaze at your figure. With a final stare, I now spin.
In the moonlit glow, our love takes flight, Whispers soft as the evening breeze, Hearts entwined, in the still of the night, Under stars that dance, we find our ease.
Whispers soft as the evening breeze, Your eyes reflect the starry sky, Under stars that dance, we find our ease, In your embrace, all worries die.
Your eyes reflect the starry sky, A universe within, so deep and true, In your embrace, all worries die, Lost in love, just me and you.
A universe within, so deep and true, Hearts entwined, in the still of the night, Lost in love, just me and you, In the moonlit glow, our love takes flight.
