So tired

mywords2228

But I don’t want to sleep

When you are around and our time is always so short.

Together we laugh and we get attached.

Only to feel disappointed when life gets too busy.

For even a simple hi is becoming just a pass-through.

I know the push and take is strong and it’s like we’re fighting back but what for at this point.

It feels like a losing battle of hope things will be different.

But it’s not for you were never ready for me to come back and now that I am.

Everything is crumbling and sometimes we’re both trying to pick up the pieces.

Of this friendship but lately

we just leave the pieces until next time.

My mind

mywords2228

Is running around in a circle

And I feel like I’m running out of time.

I feel like I’ve said this before

Is this déjà vu feels like or have I just lost my mind?

It’s been a long and tiring week

Yet I have never felt this great on the inside.

The outside is still catching up but I will get there someday.

To get things done the right way.

As my mind runs the show

Will he out rule my heart one day?

Some days

Are easier

Then others.

But today is a good day to just be alive

At this moment, I am happy.

I am relaxed, and I am blessed

To a point where words can not express

How I feel that the more I try, the more

Nothing makes sense to me.

And maybe that’s because I don’t need to have the answers to everything.

I just need to be happy at this moment.

Such a

lazy Saturday where  no worry or stress is on your mind. 
just the feeling of lying around watching movies and listening to music
while I enjoy the quiet day ahead. 
You don't have or want to do much more now.
You know that today just feels like one of those days when so much is going to be expressed and every song just relates to what you are feeling. 
Today seems to be going by so fast but not as fast as you hoped.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than before.
You soon receive flowers and nice bottle of  wine to go with your snack of grapes and blackberries. 
And you think what a nice take to a lazy Saturday for you.

Tired of

mywords2228

All the things I put myself through

Just to feel close to you.

I can’t be this way for it’s tearing who I am

Part and each day I feel sadness or I’m so mad I could just scream.

I won’t know what is going through your mind.

But I can’t just keep going on like this

For it reminds me of the past and I am not that girl anymore!

I won’t settle now and I didn’t then.

My wake up call was so much sooner this time around.

So goodbye to the moments that felt so right.

Now nothing seems alright.

Just so empty and pointless.

Thinking of

mywords2228

All that could be used to be a thing to past time.

But today I just want to talk and be in the present.

But I know to reach out seems like I’m hoping for something more.

Like a dream that won’t ever come true for it really isn’t meant to be mine.

For I’m doing what I need to do even if the support I have isn’t yours this time.
