when I'm at my worst,
my mind doesn't hesitate to remind me,
that I am nothing more,
than a collection of whispered prayers and Pyrrhic victories.
To win and not feel like winning at all is a greater disappointment than losing when you cared most.

Before love broke you,
Was it everything you dreamed it would be?
I've never been in love, hence why I wonder

I want you for the most selfish of reasons.
I should pull away, resist everything about you I find capturing
That what a good person would do...

But I lost my obsession with being a good person a long time ago
It's all about me now... didn't think it would get to this point. I'm thankful God has kept anyone worthy to be loved by me because I'm not right at the moment

I could make you fall for me,
But all I would be doing
Is teaching you how to fly
Just to clip your wings.
I want love for the most selfish of reasons. This is what I've become now.

Tried to live my life,
but things always seem out of my control.
I tried to make sense of it all,
but my chaos would rather be personified than contained.

Let me paint the room with your scent...
If these walls could talk,
Let them speak tales of how I had you catching your breath.
All I want to do right. All I'm missing is you.
