Month: July 2021

the music can quite swipe me away from the noise going on around me tonight.

Feeling like I need something more but what I don’t even know.

I try sitting in the silence once I walkout the door but nothing seems to click as my mind stumbles to keep up tonight.

Power off

What a hot day

What is there to do

As the body starts to sweat and the air flowinf through your window isnt helping you.

Yet all you want to do is sleep but the heat won’t let you cool down on ths miserable morning.

Just when you hope for a miracle the power comes back on and everything is right again on this very hot day.

Changed on your side but I didn’t see you coming but I’m not shocked anymore when you do come around.

I’m polite but I have so much to say these days that I just don’t know where to start.

Without taking you out with one swipe.

This game we play is getting old and I’m just tired of the stand still.

When will the game resume and end on the right note and let this chapter close for good?

Thought holding back would save me from feeling like a failure again, yet instantly I knew it didn’t make the results any better just lonely and more meaningless.

And now the need to start over feels more uncomfortable than before.

And the hope that you will come back around and save me is believing our story was going to be a fairytale.

To catch my breath and not feel like a piece of me is slipping away.

Because there are no words left to say and starting over seems so impossible.

But yet somehow I keep moving forward and more unknown things pop up.

With no answer in sight, I feel I have to dig deep and find them myself if I want to survive.

For words are all I have but lately, they aren’t enough.

I said those words to you and how much it meant something to you then.

But now that’s all in the past and now the future is not the way we had hoped it to be.

I’m here and you’re there and it’s not so bad now as I’ve grown so much and any thoughts of you just don’t pop up anymore and I’m grateful for the memories but I’ve put them away a long time ago.

And now I wait to say those words to someone else and this time the outcome will be forever instead of a way of saying goodbye hoping things will or could’ve been different.
