sometimes I wonderÂ
if feeling empty
is beneficial
because nothing
makes me feel more at peace
than your ability
to make me feel whole again
Tag: love
Will you sing me a lullaby?
For I haven’t slept in days
Anything to pass the time
Before I go insane
It’s important to remind yourself
That in the absence of someone else’s presence
You are never to question or demeanÂ
The worth of your own existence
I have never believed in the idea of
“falling in love”
Instead, I believe we
“fall into the realization"
That we have been in love
The entire time
Clouded skies turn blue into grey
As promises from you continue to fade
The flowers I grew have wilted away
For a new foundation of all your disdain
Nothing felt better
Than how easy it was
To feel loved by you
Until I learned
It was even easier
For me to feel hated
What do you doÂ
When a love so strong
Starts to take on a form of its own?
Do you let it run free
Like the wind through the trees
Or anchor it down to a home?
Will you tell them that I loved you?
Or neglect to speak the truth?
Give me the brush that you will use
To paint me the one uncouth
Though you drew yourself a tainted heart
Strokes of detail the world should see
I will hide those colors dyed too dark
Your work of art is safe with me
I can feel his whisperÂ
behind closed doors.
The harmonic undertonesÂ
pass me by as I wrapÂ
myself in the smooth melody,
wishing to be the song he humsÂ
under his breath inÂ
the midst of darkness.
I was always warned about your type
A voice of velvet
A taste of poison
On the lips of a god
“They will rule your mind”
But I seem to be just fine
