We walked in the garden
Of love in my heart
Where everything should be
Wilting
But the damn flowers
Refuse to die
I took a train to Amsterdam
To see something that's new
The lull of life had gotten to me
So I got away from you.
I didn't want to be in love
You caught me by surprise
But I'm a coward, so in fear
I smothered you with lies
I grew up hoping
I was special
But you made me believe
It was true
You fell in love
With my black cherry lips
Without the knowledge
Of the pit within
Like how language
Gets jumbled over time,
We became two mouths
Tangled in our misery.
Each meaning the same thing
Yet unable to comprehend
The other.
Are we not both proclaiming love
But losing the feeling
By the tossing and turning
Of borrowed time?
I think that it is too difficult for a couple to ‘just be friends’. They have been through so much and shared their entire selves with each other, just as friends do, and yet they go even farther. I believe that it is simply to hard to go backwards from what had felt like an infinity, into the constricting label of ‘friend’.
Lilac words
And lavender hallucinations
Illuminate a world
That is better off
Without me in it
When did every love song
Become about us?
Each smile
Each tear
Each softspoken word
Drives me mad
You are the melody
And the harmony
You are the song in my head
I just have to wonder
Am i your everything
Too?
In the waves is the truth behind love. It doesn't burn like a fire, or dance like the wind. Love is the rippling, crashing, rising, falling, swaying, never-ceasing tide which crashes against the shores of my heart. Slowly chipping away at the rock-solid armor which protects the person who has been hurt one too many times.
Honesty comes easily
To everyone but me.
I time my words with the waves
And hope they'll get lost at sea.
As a liar and a fraud,
I understand deceit
Yet crave it more than truth
So it is all I seek
