Happy Ending

June 11th, 2011

From the moment we first spoke
I knew you were what I wanted
You walked away though
And left my dreams haunted
One day it was weird though
I knew it was you
Walking towards me
I didn’t know what to do
I looked down
And you walked right by
My heart dropped
But then you turned to say hi
An awkward conversation
Left me wanting more
But with the year coming to an end
There was no knocking on my door
These guilty thoughts lingered
From time to time
There was no forgetting
And there was no rewind
And my relationship faded
And suddenly it couldn’t be
No more guilty thoughts
And you were again in front of me
A week of slow conversation
Left me wanting more
And when I met up with you
I couldn’t believe this anymore
After all the waiting
After all the time
I got my happy ending
With your lips pressed against mine

Middle School

2004

I thought I escaped them
But now they’re back
This is my home
But they don’t understand
I can’t stand them anymore
And my parents don’t listen
When I want to escape them
And go to my friends
The answer’s always no
So to escape them
I have to go to school
I wouldn’t say it’s worse
But it doesn’t really help
Everyone hates me
That’s middle school for you
One minute you have friends
And the next you don’t
No matter what I do
Where I go
Where I hide
There’s always someone
Watching me
Haunting me
Following me
Telling me to do this
Do that
There’s no easy way out
So I sit here writing 
It helps the pain get out

Haunted

July 14th, 2024

So many dreams recently
I wish to forget
I’m living a nightmare
In a life of regrets
After my nap yesterday
I’m using a night light again
Held down in my bed
The bad dreams don’t end
Then I woke up in bed
But I was still asleep
A haunted apartment
With things that creep
Pinching my arm
Yelling at myself to wake
And even while resting
I can’t catch a break
