Deserve
You needed cough syrup
cause you caught a cold
i had some free time
in my really busy day
and immediately i thought:
I'll buy him cough syrup.
I don't have a lot of money
but he deserves it!
i wanted to buy a snack
a little treat for me
i wanted something sweet
to tell myself i was good
but inside the supermarket
i was so indecisive
that i took nothing at all.
Maybe i didn't de...

Sunflower
Although she was beautiful
her struggle never seemed to fade.
With roots as strong as hers she would always smile
even when her petals were plucked and frayed.
Remember how her beauty glowed
as she faced the sun with grace.
Half laughing, half crying
somehow she bloomed from her pain.

A Moment Away
We all need a moment away
From whatever we usually do
We can’t be forever the same
We all need a minute or two.
And when we get time to unwind

And once more to that which we do
For nothing will greatly have chan...

strange signals
And it’s very worrying.
OK?
You’re not lying?
Good,
That’s alright then.
Just checking.

A Declaration
I'm sorry for the things I said
Sorry for the ways I hurt you.
I know sometimes I neglect you,
I find ways to desert you.
I didn't know you wanted me, I didn't know I was allowed
I didn't know I was allowed to love you and keep you for myself.
Your lights, your eyes, your body, your smile,
They're all for me now.
You'll never walk alone,
You'll never feel untouched,
You'll never ha...

I Don't Miss You
I don't miss you...not really.
I don't even want you...not really.
My empty heart is full of anger and regret, an infection that needs to be detoxed from inside me.
I can feel the grip of what could have been dissolving with every sip of self affirmation and every caplet of affection I imbibe.
I lick my wounds and feel the poison of jealousy and the sting of my injured pride slowly fa...
