After midnight my mind
Becomes a graveyard
Haunted by
What-if ghosts and
Could-have-been ghouls

Their whispers might make me insane
Mattea Marie Sep 2013
I haven't been sleeping lately
You're wandering into
My thoughts
And keeping me up
You haven't said you love me in a while
I wonder if it's still true
I don't want to keep you
On a line like you think I do
I can't lose you again
I don't think you get that
Because you think so lowly of me
That I'm starting to believe you
I can't handle your disapproval
You make me want go insane

I've been missing you lately
I've been missing us lately

I am in a constant game
Of tug of war
My heart battles my head
Pulling in opposite directions
With convincing arguments
And I've never been good at making decisions
It seems you reside in my heart
Playing love songs on my chordae tendinae
Pulling harder when you feel me listen
To the ringing in my head
From the chorus of "no's"
Screaming from my temporal lobe
All this tugging
Echoes in my being
I don't know how much war
My body can take
There is only one of me
I can only give so much
If I had more to give I would
Not rest until it was all gone
This war will only cease
When I finally decide
How much I can take
The only problem is
It might already be
Too late

I'll be the Rapunzel to your Eugene
Because you climbed my walls
And showed me the light
I'll be the Rachel to your Ross
Because you're my best friend
But part of me will always
Wish I was more
I'll be the Allie to your Noah
Because every fight ends
With more love than before
I'll be the carbon to your organic compounds
Because even though there may be
Some negative reactions and unstable bonds
In the end we can't be successful
Without each other
I'll be your crying shoulder
And relieve the weight of the world
From your own
I'm not perfect
I cannot always be what you want
Or what you need
But I will always be here
Trying my best
Hold my hand
And I promise
I won't let go
Mattea Marie Aug 2013
You say the reason
You can't let me go
After all I've done to you
Is because there's a tiny thing
In your heart
Just something
That tells to
Not to let me go
You don't know what that something is
But I think I do
Because I have it too

I can't let you go
Because part of my heart
Is made up of
You
And I think
Part of your heart
Is made up of me
Too

I could get drunk
Off the smell of your skin
And the taste of your tongue
But now you taste like ***
And the breath of
Someone else
Mattea Marie Aug 2013
Maybe if I get drunk by myself
No one will stop me
From erasing all the pain

I can drink myself numb
And cry myself dry
Until I feel nothing

I'm sick of feeling too much
All the time
Maybe I'll get drunk by myself
