“I love you” is not an excuse.
I told you I was happy,
That for the first time in so long,
I felt free and careless.
You didn’t say anything,
But when I looked at you,
There was a smile on your face,
And you just held me tighter.
I crave the moments where it’s just us
No distractions
No people
No games
Just you
And me
Our words
Our love
Us
I dream of finding you again one day.
On an empty street corner
In a crowded room
On a rain soaked porch.
I see you and my heart gives up the fight.
You came back.
You’re a comet streaming across the sky
Searching for the other part of your star
It takes a while,
But you find each other right on course
And you collide
Exploding like the sun.
Darling, you put their words to shame.
They have no right to your body.
You owe them nothing.
They should be the person you cry to.
Not the person you cry about.
Sometimes you just need to be sad.
Sometimes you just need to cry.
Sometimes nothing is wrong.
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Sometimes you feel alone.
Sometimes there are too many people.
Sometimes you just need to let it out.
Sometimes you just beet to be sad.
And that’s okay.
They tell me the leaves are dancing in the wind.
They’re wrong.
The leaves are falling
Tumbling
Crashing
Spinning out of control
Pulled this way and that
Out of their comfort zone
Into the path of your treacherous feet.
It’s when the pain turns to emptiness
You know you’re screwed.
