The fairytale
Do you remember the fairytale you told me?
Nothing else mattered when you read it line by line
For I was in love with the story, you read about a time
A few chapters down the line, we'd still be together
You looked me in the eyes as you said "forever"
Promised me this book is the only one you need
You forgot to mention that you didn't really mean it
So engulfed in the stories I didn...

Like you left me
I hope you feel alone
With a stranger in your bed
I hope they make you feel wanted
And tickle your head
I hope they tell you that they love you
Just to make you theirs
Feed you stories of the future
They know will never come to be
I hope they make you feel oh so safe
And then they leave you like you left me.

It's been a while
It’s been a while since we’ve spoken
I don’t know what’s going on In your life
But I hope you’re alright
I still catch myself smiling
And looking to the side
When something along the lines
Of our inside jokes comes into a conversation
With strangers or friends
I quickly wipe away my grin
For they simply wouldn’t understand
There’s no point in delving in...

Feelings we cannot ignore..
Insecurity and jealousy
prying open the door
we had closed so tightly
When we had agreed
not to take things so seriously
The intensity overwhelms me
Lets just be friends and see..
"maybe its possilble
its impossible
let's just try
please don't cry
I am yours, commited don't you see
I don't belong to you,
nor you to me
but don't get it confuse...

Ember
You can learn a lot about yourself in the dark..
The things that once terrified you no longer appear so large
and that flame that you had to light for yourself
will guide you to places that you didn't know existed
Thank yourself that you persisted
You lit that fire in the damp, in the cold
You nurtured it as it turned from a flicker to nothing but coal
Really, thank yourself for n...

Time
Time
A precious gift
Your choice is how you spend it
Loving others, or yourself
A difficult thing to achieve both
when it is limited
Investing in a future self that may never arrive
I do not even feel alive
I am breathing, speaking, running out of words
running out of breath
What is left
I am sinking
My legs are tired
I have struggled for a while
struggled with a smil...

A beautiful curse
Your presence in my life was a gift
for you showed me what I had missed
The deepest emotions, you showed me they exist
A love so deep is a beautiful curse
for the harder you love
the deeper it hurts
So now I find myself in agony
Learning to live with missing what once was
As well as never knowing what could've been.

Change
Change is the most natural part of life
The summer cannot last forever
I have learned simply to never say never
I change my mind
Perspectives and feelings move with time
Nothing is certain
Before you know it, it is Autumn
and your leaves are turning into shades of gold
To begin something new you must let go of the old
It is okay to fall
Winter may be harder and it wi...

I think about you
I think about you
I think about you on the good days
when everything is going well
I want to share them with you, celebrate
The first that comes to my mind is your name
I think about you on the bad days
when everything feels a little too much
I could use your hugs, your touch
Your warmth is the very thing that I need
I think about you in the moments in between
In the secon...

You are an artist
You are an artist
Every morning as your eyes open up
you reach for your paintbrush
unknowingly
You are the canvas
and your actions are the splatters
Inspired by your dreams
and all to you that matters
You bring to life the beauty that you think
Transforming the formless into reality
your desires turn to ink
Do not downplay the smaller things you do
as every single brushstro...
