Passing

I sat opposite of the  direction the train was moving in. I looked out the window and watched. Everything I was able to see was what the train already sped by. And it was all still beautiful. 

I know scars are permanent And that I cant change what I once chose But a touch by you I swear Could erase all pain I had once known

I fell in love with your potential
Now feeling your touch is essential

A Few of the Things

The light reflects off your body with every angle. The curves of your skin and the shine of your hairs show no imperfections. As I watch your lips slowly open up, I have never been more jealous of the air that fills the space. The creases of your smile are painted in my heart but the painting will never suffice. And when I see my reflection in your eyes, it is when I feel truly beautiful.

You're Better

In my mind, the right words feel so reachable. I come so close to grabbing them and spreading them on paper. I'd give you the paper and ask if you'd have me. You would answer with always. But the strangest thing happened. I didn't need to find the right words, or any words. You took me solely because of me.

Say Anything

I wish I didn't feel it and I wish I didn't show it. That you have complete control of my heart. But most of all, I wish you didn't know it. 

The Jokes on Us

Why do we joke around with the truth? Why do we hear the words but not listen?

The Silent Roar

He protects her like a lion because he knows how much she's been lied to

Her feelings burn so deep that her flesh is on fire 

But the flames are getting hard to control and the lion keeps throwing sticks in. 

The rain fell today. But it was okay. Because for the first time, I knew it wasn't going to stay. 

An unmade promise can speak louder than a broken one. 

And maybe I forget you so easily because my heart has had enough. 

The Book You Won't Open

Your love is as far as your eyes let you see. While I see as far as my love will go. 

The Melody of What Will Never Be

The sad lyrics are fine. They are truthful and real. I accept them. I understand them. 

But it's the love songs that hurt the most. They give me hope that there is someone who will love me, but they promise nothing . 

If I see the world for more than it is
If I see you for more than you are
Then life is nothing but one big beautiful life
And that's fine
But even if you're not as good as I think
You are still nothing short of exactly what I am looking for

Caution

You help me with my fears but fail to realize that by caring, you're in danger of making my worst fear a reality.

I Don't Want to Be Like You

I'm not sure I can handle living. At least not in a place where I'm viewed crazy for sacrificing my happiness for the happiness of someone I care about, despite how they treat me. But maybe it's because I want someone to make that sacrifice for me, that I'm so willing to do it for them. Maybe I am crazy.

It is a beautiful thing, a stranger. You know nothing about them except that just like you, they have felt pain, happiness, and misery. And everyday they are fighting to decide if any of this is even worth it, if their life has any value. But strangers help us remember, we are not alone.

If you're looking for someone, I'm right here.

I can see it in your eyes

You tell me about your dreams

but I'm more interested in the thoughts you can control

You'd fit in my shoes if you tried.

You tell me it's for the best.

But you're asking me to change all the things I wanted you to love about me. 

The relief in the pain

You're a bug bite on soft skin. And I can't stop scratching because it feels so damn good. 

Not with you, at least.

I am still deciding if I want to love you or be loved. I can't have both. 

Misconception

I await the pain in goodbye. It will prove you were real. 

New York City

It's as simple as wanting someone to enjoy the view with.

No matter where you're looking from or what you're looking at.
