I received a lot of praise
For my musical ways
and it caused waves
To crash around my heart-
Their expectations over my art
It ruined my passion
In a "Wonderwall" fashion
Singing over and over again
Into soulless eyes,
Made me feel like a type of prize
It was a lot of work to learn I'm not
I can sing and make music without being bought
I don't play for you anymore because I don't want it to be the only thing you love me for.

Loneliness is something that I can endure
I don't want you to be my revolving door;
someone I run to for comfort or relief  
When I think of you now I feel worry and ease.

Many different thoughts take a walk across my mind,
You're precious to me and it's hard to hide.
I miss you so much, the term feels overused
When I see friends on the street, I'm reminded of you

We never got to do the things we planned,
So many trips were left in neverland.
It was painful to feel my heart soar with excitement
To be broken constantly through cancelations

I'm trying to understand now,
and leave all these things behind.
It seems my head is stuck in the past,
Pain catches up with me through time

So many unresolved feelings lie within me
Things I wanted to say, hugs I wanted to give
but ignored because of my worries,
how do I let go of these longings?

Revolving doors are for buildings
But I still want to resolve my feelings.
I wish I spent more time doing things with you than just sharing my thoughts.

Underneath an
Empty sky I
Cry out
My loneliness
Pour out
My sadness to
Celestial beings
Who could not care less

Eventually,
I stop my crying
And I go to join
The moon and all her
Glorious stars

The light is red.

I look over at you,
Eyes pleading for a kiss.
You give in
And the world seems to stop,
As two lovers
Escape for a moment
Of bliss.

The light is green.

My darling, I know
Your heart aches with a
Lifetime of burden
And regret, but the
World still turns, the tides
Still crash, and the moon
Still shines. Despite
The hole in
Your chest.

I am so overcome with love
When my mind is hazy
And thoughts come slowly, quietly

What am I so ashamed of to
Only see you warmly in the dark?

Why is love an easier concession
Only when I can’t think clearly?

Strange strange girl

Your silence makes you
Strange. Your strangeness makes
You forgotten. So,
Be good and
Be gone.

Twenty years I’ve lived and
Still, I feel like a kid

But you’re a woman
You certainly look
Like a woman

What hunger, great enough to
Stretch your skin, turn
Your insides out

With nowhere to hide, my
Eyes meet pavement, this
Smile sinks to stiffness
For the realization of
Bones only ornamental to
Your probing eyes

Oh, draining desire.
Oh, humanity.

at the close of this climb
with no future to fear and
only softness to return to,
all we will have
is each other.

grown grey beneath a quiet sky
we will watch the world turn
and rejoice in glowing hearts,
still here.
for my sister.
