She leads with her
chin. Delicate as it
is. Bent slightly,
moving haltingly
with elbows at
sharp angles.

Do not be fooled
by her jarring,
reckless gait.

She is an
undeniable
force.
I don’t really know
What keeps me from them
From all the bad decisions
And broken promises
I keep on running
Too scared to look back
Afraid that there’s something
When it’s nothing in fact
I look ahead
And run from the fear
I can’t see anything now
But something may be near
Sometimes-
I am just too afraid to grow up
So I lie at the window
And count the stars
Picture a wall of glass
As clear as air
but solid as a stone

I stand behind that wall
And the world’s on
The other side

I can see it
And it can see me,
But only through the glass

I can’t touch it
I can’t reach it
I can’t feel.

For that wall is in my soul
And I can’t break it alone.
you here
she smiles
you leave
she silences-
wants to see you fly
not shattered in the sky
Suffer with me
Just a bit longer.
Starless nights
In the city-
Watching, waiting
For a glimmer of peace.
Shooting stars
Zoom too fast for us
to make a wish, but truthfully,
I don't think either of us would know what to wish for.
Stare at me just a bit longer.
Dimmed eyes
Spiral out of control.
"I ain't a kid no more,
We'll never be those kids again."
Said we'd never hurt each other and meant it. Guess we didn't know how hard a promise is to keep. And we sing our emotions cuz we're tired of screaming and not being heard.
Overdose on lullabies
The starless nights
Seem to go on
But the songs,
The songs are lovely.
Line in quotes from Frank Ocean's Ivy
there are tears stinging her eyelid,
so many emotions are whirling round and round,
and her heart clenches as she looks ahead.

but when she looks into her future,
she sees nothing,
and she wonders.

for if she deserves one,
as someone so silent,
who cannot seem to find her voice.

and she ponders,
if she has the will power to influence,
or whether she will fall apart.
Music is life, let the lyrics be our story, notes be our heart beat,
Music is love, a melodic expression of our forever lasting memory,
Music is dream, my dream, your dream, our dream, their dream,
Music is imagination, music is but a melody to our wild imagination,
Music is comfort, more than just the resounding sound of beauty,
Music is moonlight, in the gloomy nights of my life, your life, our life,
Music is happiness, found even in the darkest of times, darkest of days,
Music is escape, our ultimate escape from sadness, worriedness, nervousness,
Music is heart, discovered through the hidden key in our repeating playlist,
Music is everything, not just me, not just you, but also us.
