Welcome to Heartbreak

Every once and a while
My heart will break a part
Like one of those far space super novas
And it'll take my breath for a few moments of painful silence

Then I'll remember what you said
And put myself back together again
I hope you continue to tell the truth
Because I'm throwing a lot of trust at you

There's been a lot said about peace
But I wonder what we look like when love finally leaves?

Reminder

Sense has been falling out of my ears for the last fifty-two hours
So as a warning I remind you not to fall in love

I Don't Get You

People always say
Someones hiding behind something
Well it's completely true
You're literally another person when you wear a mask

Fortune Teller

Feet dipped into icy water
Which bends and breaks around sticks and stones
She counts the minutes until her toes go numb
And drops to her ankles
Rushing the sensation away

I wish I knew the seasons and the years
The way you make me feel and if it'll stay here
I guess what I'm saying is I wish the future was mine
To take or tell or leave behind

Blah blah blah I don't like rhyming
I just wish I wasn't so afraid of everything I don't know...

I'm Writing Like a Teenager Again

Sometimes
It makes me sad when I think about the feelings I gave you
The way I chased you
How I hoped and hoped
I feel a sense of relief that I've not seen your face
Since the day I walked away
And you threw things at me
Somedays
I wish I could explain everything to you
Make you understand my side
'Cause back then you didn't listen
And I've always wanted to prove to you that it remained your fault
How you made it so much worse
You weren't the only one who hurt

You always think it fades away eventually, especially the little ones.
But boy I gave you a lot of feeling, the amount of which you were too proud to grasp.
You assumed you were the one who had been taken from.

Freshhhh

I wish you wouldn't look me in the eye
And refuse to speak all the time

It makes me remember what being a freshman feels like
And we all know I'm way beyond that now

Bug

This frosty bug as crawled upon my shoulder and burried itself in
Building its resting place in my bone and marrow
Dear insect, your children may not grow here, but you may reside until warmer days
Someday I'll thaw out and have the will to destroy you
I'll rise up and cast you upon the stones!
You may now sleem to the rush of my bloodstream,
But on a hotter day, you'll feel it all run cold
