Platonic

I don't know where I'd be,
Without my umbrella,
Who keeps me dry from the storm,
No matter how terrible it may be.

I don't know where I'd be,
If his ears weren't there,
To listen to my "exciting" life,
And help me smile again.

I don't know where I'd be,
If he didn't sense when things weren't right,
And magically appear,
Back into my life.

I don't know where I'd be,
If I didn't have an intelligent soul,
To talk to about my life,
And give me something to believe.

I don't know where I'd be,
If I didn't know him.
If I didn't talk to him that day,
I don't know where I'd be.

Circle

I have learnt a few things about myself,
From this year of hell.
I've learnt that I cannot be held responsible
For what I text past midnight.

I've learnt that I cannot help how I feel,
For what I have fears of,
I've learnt the lesson from that disastrous mess,
The lesson of being prepared.

I've learnt that life never goes as planned,
And no one's ever what you thought.
I've learnt to not cry,
When it comes to others.

Take me seriously,
Take me literally,
Take what I write, and read between the lines.
Take what I write, and assume.

But there's always going to be,
One lesson you need to learn.
I'm the one thing you'll want but not need,
I'm the one thing you'll need but not want.

It's the circle of our lives.

Fool's Gold

I speak out,
And everything's misunderstood,

You say I mean one thing,
When I know I mean another,
My words are constantly misinterpreted.

I go to speak up,
Instead of my usual silence,
But what do I say?

Do I try to formulate words,
That are just going to be,
Twisted against me?

I may be meek,
When it comes down to you,
But trust me when I say,

Take my silence as gold,
Because this round trip is old.
Gold is foolish though.

And that you should know.
