Mementos
04:57
|

I’ve packed a box of memories, picture post cards, and love letters
sent from wounds I severed long ago. Still, I keep them neatly tucked
below my bed as I dream of past and future events. Anything but
present tense. I’ve made more plans than memories, left a trail of
casualties.
I worry I’ll waste my whole life planning to die. It’s clear that I’ve
wasted this time preoccupied.
Now this box of memories serve as reminders. Remains from my repeated
offenses. Stolen affection from the unsuspecting. I’ve played the
victim and assumed the worst, manipulate and except the undeserved.
I’ve made more plans than memories and left a trail of casualties.
I worry I’ll waste my whole life planning to die. It’s clear that I’ve
wasted this time preoccupied.

I remember when time was just sequentially aligned memories, or spent
dreaming about these days. I’d be older, and you’d be proud of me. Are
you proud of me?
I’m not just looking for approval. I want to make you happy.
I remember when I realized that time is not on my side, but you will
always be by my side. We’re both older but you’re still the world to
me. I’m not just looking for approval. I want to make you happy.

With You
04:19
|

Wasted hours of my life I've spent dwelling over words for people who
don't care about me, and its not fair you've spent yours on me.
I spent some time lacing verses with syllables and rhyming six line
choruses with you both in mind. But I just want you to know: with you
I am home. and It's to you that I owe everything I am home. With you,
I am home and It's to you that I owe Everything, I am home. I am home.
I am home. I am home.
You watched me grow. I can only hope I'll one day embody just half the
person you've raised me to be.
I just want you to know: With you, I am home. And it's to you that I
owe, Everything, I am Home.

Red And Orange

I heard your voice tonight.
I tried not to pry even though I, even
though I, need to know I, even though I, need to know I just cant ask you tonight.
Even though I'm far from alone, my mind is tortured by envy. I want to be one of those leading ladies with romantic adventures and fantasy endings in all my favorite books.
So you're my Mr. Darcy. Can we please skip to the ending? As long as my hand remains empty, my head is heavy, but I can see clearly.
And just like autumns the finest of seasons. So easily I'm intoxicated by red and orange leaves, just before they fall and fade to brown.

Certainty
03:52
|

It took me years to see through this tangled web of lies you’ve
weaved. What’s now inanely clear: how foolishly they heed ignorance.
And they all believe you.
I’ve found salvation in my own affections,without assistance from a
book’s directions. But still, that’s not enough for you
Hollow be thy head and full thy heart of greed, fraud, and contempt
for anything of reason
That’s not to say I’m never envious of belief in something that brings
hope and comfort. It’s just that’s not enough for me
Fear and need to belong, the search for purpose leaves us blind.
I will live my life according to my heart. I will live my life
I’ve found salvation in my own affections without assistance from a
book’s directions. But still, that’s not enough for you.

Spring Thaw
03:29
|

Keeping composed, I’ll keep my mouth closed. But you’re standing so
close. You’re standing so close. I’m in love with a memory I’m in love
with an enemy.
The spring thaw stole more than snow, and left leaves weathered as we
are. fall ends too soon. Good things always do.
You brought out my best, but you bring up the worst of me. How can I
sleep on the pillow you made me without you next to me? How can you
watch me leave so easily?
But I can’t keep composed. I can’t keep my mouth closed. I’m in love
with you, always. Please come over. Say it’s not over. I can’t get
over. Just think it over. Please come over. Say it’s not over. I can’t
get over. Just think it over.

Always And Never

I speak in tired cliches, absolutes, and exaggerate, but please don't
mistake this honesty
I've spent just weeks by your side, and longer at hundreds of miles. I
know that you're leaving, believe me. You'll never be far from my
mind.
And we might fall to pieces when you're gone. I know that's a possibility.
I've spent just weeks by your side, and longer at hundreds of miles. I
know that you're leaving, believe me. You'll never be far from my
mind.

Empathy
04:39
|
|||
One modern convenience, I understand living blindly and existing in
ignorant bliss to ease your mind. but I don't know, can't begin, to
comprehend.
You see them suffer, you watch them grow three times too large for
their brittle bones.
I've tried ignoring sickening secrets and living positively, but the
grief quickly catches up with me. i can't bear the silence anymore,
You seem them suffer, and I'll never know how human greed can overtake empathy
You know, I never wanted to hurt you
But this innocent suffering. This fucking agony. Enacted on your
command. You're cold to whats under your nose.
I've been waiting to wipe that greedy smile away. They feel, it's your
turn to feel. Its been too long it wont be long.
