I Have Hope

I have hope
That I will move on
And I will be fine

I have hope
That I won't hurt much longer
And my wounds will heal

I have hope
That you'll move on too
And live a happy life

I have hope
That someday we'll meet again
And everything will be as it should

The Gifts We Exchanged

You gave me a kiss
And I gave you one back
I made you happy
And you made me think
You gave me sweet words
And I returned a few
I gave you smiles
And you gave me butterflies
You extended me your worries
And I offered you consolation
You gave me anxiety
And I handed you doubt
You gave me silence
And I sent you bad feelings
You sent me a box of sorrow
And the box was so heavy
But I must say
It turned out to be
The greatest gift of all

drowning thoughts

i'm drowning in
my own thoughts
the drunk
drip
drip
dripping
blots
i'm unable to breathe
unable to see
unable to move
unable to flee
until my thoughts
fall through the drain
my mind my being
cannot be sane

If I Were A Fly

If I were a fly
I'd fly straight to you
Just so I can spy
To see if you miss me too
I wonder if you cry
Because sometimes I still do
I'd look you in the eye
If only I just knew
And if you were a fly
I know what you would do
You would fly so high
Until you saw me too

Get These Words Out

If I can get these words out of my body
I will be able to think more clearly
I will become what my soul should embody
I will be able to live more dearly
I want to be whole again I want to be me
I want these words to finally set me free
I can't have these words eating away at my soul
Already my heart is a cluster of holes
If I can just get these words out
I might be able to sleep tonight
Without these feelings of despair and doubt
Maybe this release will set things right
