there are enough people
who will walk away
find the ones
that stay.

space
i wanted space
not so I could leave,
but so i could
grow.
paradise lost
I wish to see again
Underneath the moonlight
And I will fill the silence
With all the things I never said,
But should have—
And it will feel like home again
If only for a second,
Before you disappear,
And home is lost again.
deafening
I fill the silences
With thoughts of you,
For that is where you live now;
You were the first to say goodbye,
As someone always is.

goodbye
I had a vision
Of how our last meeting would go,
We would hug
And I would know
That you lived a good life
And were ready to go,
And you would know
That you were loved,
Especially by me;
But I sit across from you
With you scared to leave,
And me scared for you to go,
And I wish not to stop time,
But to rewind it,
To anticipate your troubles
And cure them
Before they would start;
But unfortunately
That is impossible
Because life is imperfect like that,
Just like goodbyes.
pining
sleepless nights

rational beings
Humans are rational beings
Who can rationalize their lies
And disguise them as truth.
a break in the clouds
The clouds receded
Just enough
To bathe in the sun
And convince myself
That I am okay.
