Drown

April 14th, 2025

This is cliche but it didn’t kill me
I’m just done with this silence
I’m over your inconsistency
Knowing I’ll never find reliance
As the feelings come in waves
I accept that I am broken
And my words won’t change anything
So I leave them unspoken
No one can fix me except myself
But that’s a job that I keep failing
Because I gave you power over me
And then you kept bailing
Maybe it’s the loneliness
That’s making me feel haunted
I just wish it wasn’t you
Who made me feel unwanted
Even though I want to tell you this 
It’s easier to not bring it up again
Because I never asked for anything
And you couldn’t even be a friend
It didn’t even need to be a horizon
You could’ve brought me anything
Now this is the third year in a row
Where you won’t know me in spring
You decided to let me drown
But I know what people say
That it needs to rain in April
To enjoy the flowers in May

Thoughts

September 15th, 2011

The words are in my head
But they’re nothing I can say
My mind lost in thoughts
You carry me away
I’m all mixed up
The words aren’t coming out
Why can’t I say these things
The words won’t leave my mouth

I Love You

August 28th, 2011

I like our phone conversations
Very few
But very long
I like hearing your voice
When I’m half asleep
Making me wish you were here
Like in the days
And early nights
Wrapping your arms around me
Holding me tight
You make things feel right
With your lips on mine
Or my cheek
My neck
You changed my life
I was a wreck
I thank you for that
Though you might not know
You make me happy
I hope it shows
You don’t leave my mind
Filled in thoughts
I wonder about you
Quite a lot
Some things unclear
I wanted to know how you feel
And when you said it
I couldn’t believe it was real
You love me too much
I didn’t know what to say
My mind lost in thoughts
So carried away
I haven’t forgot
These words in my head
You’re still on my mind
With these words left unsaid
They should speak for themself
But if you don’t know
I love you
Please don’t let me go
