The Rebound

March 9th, 2026 

I met you four years ago
You’ve always been nonchalant
Now your lips taste wrong
Because you’re not who I want
Your sheets are different
But the comforter is the same
Thinking about the last two years
Another girl laid where I’ve laid
You don’t want me either
I told myself I was done with this
But we find our way back again
As we ease each other’s loneliness
I know you aren’t the one
But my aloneness has won
And as you walked me up your stairs 
I wondered “what have I done?”

The End of Bargaining

September 22nd, 2025

You’ve chained me in emotional purgatory
There’s no more reanimation
I’m not a coping mechanism
To save you from your damnation
I waited for a love
That was never promised
We never talked about it
We were everything but honest
I felt the under current when we’d speak
And I tried not to get sucked in
Your wounds reflected my own
In a way neither of us could win 
I spent years bargaining with myself
Now here I am in acceptance
I couldn’t walk away
Because you were my reflectance
I got consequences
And you only had excuses
So you left me in your past
Once you saw me as useless 

Goodbye

August 13th, 2005

Under it all it’s me
I’m hidden behind these lies
Nobody can see
The pain behind my eyes
Maybe they’re blind
No one can see
All of this pain
It’s killing me
Locked up in these chains
So much like a web of lies
Not knowing how to be free
Knowing someday everyone dies
Lost in the pain
It’s out of control
I’m losing my sain
Goodbye to my soul
