You always point out every flaw dad
Always reminding me of everything I do wrong
You never cared how I felt dad
Always comparing me to someone else
I already know how stupid I am dad
Believe me I’ve been told thousands of times
That’s why I want to move away from you
You’ve made me feel alone dad
While still saying you’re my friend
I cared but you didn’t
That was my problem I accept responsibility for that
But the hardest part about letting go is that
I’ll never hear you running after me
Deep into the cold

I walked to school today

Knowing I cried myself to sleep last night

Knowing no one knew

Knowing that was my power that I owned over everyone else

It's 3am

I'm on the phone
No one's awake and I'm alone

It's 3am

The radio's on
Songs are played on lonely station

It's 3am

I'm in my bed
My eyes are open and sleep has fled

It's 3am

I'm on the balcony
The sky is dark and just quite scary

It's 3am

Some windows have lights
Could they also not sleep tonight

It's 3am

I'm still awake
When will life ever give me a break

you told me that i was your dream girl
i guess you were right
because you never pursued me
to be your reality

your ears were shut
when i sung to the world
poetic words that made
everyone fall in love

but i was living in a fantasy. there was never an us. because if you spell out loud “us,” i forgot to include the you. you. you were the only thing missing from us. i constantly longed for your presence but you were too hung over of the “us” between you and yourself.

poetry
why are you haunting me
i am trying to live in peace
but the words bursting in my mind
are too strong to ignore
i must write down each one
until the sun has risen again

i am waiting for someone
who has already boarded
& left me for one of better
but i still wait in the dark
because i am a young fool
