Cares

Jumping in puddles,
I don't care if I'm drenched.
Splashing the water,
Causing chaos.

That's who I am,
That's who I'll be,
Nothing, not even you,
Will change me.

The simple things in life,
Is what brings me
Positivity.

The simple things,
Like a stranger who smiles,
And shares,
Their happy news.

Or dancing,
With your headphones on,
While you walk,
Along the busy street.

Or seeing that person,
The one who made you smile,
All those times before,
It's a rush of emotions.

And the one thing,
That causes me happiness?
Is hearing, I miss you,
Because then I know,

Someone cares.

Stay

Catch me if you can,
I used to sing,
Until you said,
This one stupid thing.

"A small heart,
You've got one,
Closed off from pain,
Closed off from me.

A small heart,
You've got one,
You'll keep running,
Until you find the one.

I'll catch you because I can,
I'll give you the reason to stay.
I'll make sure,
All the hurt goes away."

But I say, I have potential,
To be great, to live a life,
One can only dream of,
I'm not sure if I could give it all away.

I'll keep running,
Until you give me,
The one reason,
That'd make me stay.

Floored

I fell to the floor,
I've been accustomed to this feeling before.
I didn't think it would be this intense anymore,
But it still is.

How can we try,
And put fake smiles on our faces,
When we just trip over our
Goddamn shoelaces.

If I held my breath,
Every time, I'd sure to be gone
At least by now.

The pain,
Hasn't been like this in a while.
I can't even attempt to fake a smile.
I thought it was done.

But it's not,
And I don't know if it ever will be,
But for all I can do now,
Is sit on the floor.

And hope to not feel it,
Anymore.

Secrets

We hide things,
To protect those we care about
In all honesty though,
Do we?

We hide things,
To protect ourselves,
We keep secrets,
For shelter

For shelter from pain,
For shelter from loss

Secrets can be lies,
Secrets can be omitted truth

One day,
There will be no secrets,
Between you and I,
That's clearly a lie.

So keep your secrets,
Because I'll keep mine,
And we'll have to see,
What happens down the line.

Keys

I need to get away from this place,
Have a new name,
To play a new game.

So grab your keys,
And come with me,
Start the ignition.

Because if I'm leaving,
I'm not coming back.
So decide.

Decide now,
If you go, drive us fast,
It's sure to last.

Decide now,
If you don't, oh well.
You were swell.

Where I'm going,
I don't know.
Will I stop?

I don't know how.

Work

I want it back,
I want it all,
This requires work,
That's all.

I want this,
I need this,
Haven't stopped working,
For it.

I want you to be happy,
I want you to see.
I've done so much work,
So please.

Please be happy for me,
Just like I was for you.
I mean every word I say,
I'll work for it.

But only if you will too.

Cold

I'm cold.
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
Your apologies used to have meaning.

I'm cold,
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
You wouldn't have done this unless you meant to.

I'm cold,
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
Keep pushing it until it's gone.

I'm cold,
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
You hurt me and I'm done with it.

I'm cold,
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
We both know I'm not coming back this time.

I'm cold,
It's gotten so old.
Come on,
Don't leave with have a good day.

I'm cold,
I can't feel anymore.
Come on,
Fight if you meant it, just fight for it.

Free

Feel the chokehold,
Around your neck,
As the devastating news,
Comes out of her mouth.

You can't breath,
Your pearls enclosing your neck,
Swallow your sadness,
Pull them off.

Your dress,
Squeezing your lungs,
Pushing your air out,
But not coming in.

Reach for the back,
Pull as hard as you can,
Feel the release,
As you unzip.

Finally.


You're free.
