Miles Between

May 22nd, 2023

I’m trying not to love you
As you’re telling me I’m worth it
And I’m holding in all my tears
Because everything feels perfect
Telling me this is the bare minimum
When it’s more than I’ve ever received
Feeling like a fairy tale
After how often I’ve been deceived
But I’m scared to get attached
To find out this is only a fantasy
And my past that left me guarded
Is scared that this could be a reality
It’s only been a month
But we talk everyday
And while you’re on the road
I hope you drive my way
Because I can’t wait to feel
My hand inside of yours
Tangled in your arms
A life behind closed doors
I want to spend all day talking in bed
I want your arms to cover me like a blanket
I want you to teach me to love myself
But I haven’t even met you yet

It Doesn’t Matter

December 13th, 2010

It doesn’t matter
How many people are around
I feel so empty
Drowned in the sound
I feel so distant
So far away
And no matter how close
I’m too far to stay
It doesn’t matter though
These people aren’t real
And even if they were
They don’t care how I feel
They don’t know how to love
They don’t know how to see
And in this lonely dark world
I’m still nobody
It doesn’t matter
It’s always been this way
The people don’t care
They don’t want to stay
Nobody cares
But I grew up this way
With no one around
There’s no need to run away
The mirror is my company
The mirror is so fake
The mirror is not my friend
The mirror deserves to break
I like contusions
I know that they’re real
I can see the pain
It’s something that can heal
I don’t like attachment
I don’t like to know
If they get too close
I have to let go
It doesn’t matter though
I grew up this way
Always alone
I don’t know how to stay
It doesn’t matter though
Everyone is fake
All alone
The mirror watches me break

You See Me

December 14th, 2009

I think I played your game
But I don’t know if you care
You still came to see for yourself
Why are you always there
I just can’t hide away
I’m always in plain sight
You know where to find me
And we know that it’s not right
Why do I feel these things
You’re tearing me in two
I’m in a good place in my life
Until I get that look from you
Sparks are flying inside me
These butterflies won’t die
I need to make a decision
Before I have to lie
