What do you want me to tell you?Ā
I love your smile and your laugh
and I love the way you hold me tight
I feel safe
So safe I will go ahead and
write some shitty love poetry just for youĀ
I made a perfect world
deep inside my head
people were always happy
and everyone got fed
There were perfect little homes
for the perfect girls and boysĀ
And the perfect dinner that their perfect parents made
and after dinner they played with their perfect little toys
And they all had perfect grades
And they all had perfect looks
And they were all smart and funnyĀ
And they all read perfect books
And they were all. so. perfect.Ā
But in this perfect world
There was also the perfect sadness
and the perfect disease
and the perfect madness
And there was also the perfect heartbreakĀ
and the perfect sorrow
and they perfect way,Ā
to just not want tomorrow
And there is the perfect murder
and there is the perfect death
and there is the perfect suicide
and the perfect final breath
So in this perfect world
even the crimes are perfect
so I think Iāll stay where I amĀ
Because itās perfectly imperfect
I had a little house
A house I filled with dreams
A little hope, a little love
But they are all gone it seems
Where did it go?
How did it go astray?
For we cannot see without the light
But its the light we seek anyway
Why do we even bother?
Itās all pointless anyway
We work so hard, itās all so rough
Yet we could lose it any day
We spend so much time
Doing things that we donāt need
We waste all our time on nothing
Yet it is for more time we pleadĀ
Iām just a girl in the corner of the photograph
The one you see but do not know
The one you could live without
The one that might just go
Iām the girl in the corner of the photograph
The one no-one cares about
Iāve seen your laughter, seen your fun
And Iāve learnt to live without
Iām just the girl in the corner of the photograph
and really donāt ask me why
āCause when you see me all alone
Iām really just waiting to die
So letās raise our glass the madness of life
To the things that haunt us all
Whether it be death or love or loss or pain
Letās embrace it and answer their call
Let insanity be clarity
Let life no longer be sad
But mad and weird and bright
Let us all move together
Like water in a stream
And when we go to bed at night
Pray that we all dream
How dare you haunt my thoughts
How dare you just sit there
Iāve tried and spent all this time
To make myself not care
Yet here you just existing
In the dark corners of my heart
A face I only know as pain
How dare you even start
To allow your presence to be known
I know you donāt really care
Because this pain is all my own
The last time I saidĀ āI love youā
You didnāt say it back
You didnāt say a word
Was that when these hearts turned black?Ā
The last time that I hugged you
You were no longer mine
But with my face against your shirt
I thought all was going to be fineĀ
The last time that we kissed
Did it even happen in this life?Ā
I wish I knew it was the last one
But regret is just a knife
And the last time you loved me
Is not something that I know
But I cannot help but hope with every breath
That it wasnāt that long ago
Memories of past heartbreak haunt me and I have to let it go
Do you not think I am good enough?
You think that they are better?
Watch me.Ā
Your scorn only ensures that I will grow
You are nothing but a point to prove
so just watch me
She wasnāt ready
not for that
not for anything
that was fact
all she could think about
was if she could live without
love and hope and all and more
for heartbreak came from that same store
But there was a light in the distance
a small spot of hope
a break from her darkness
she could breathe, she could cope
for with that hope came courage
Courage in her core
For she now controlled the fears
The fears controlled her no more.Ā
I sit alone, surrounded by people
They walk and talk and I donāt care because I donāt know if Iām really there
And I live with myself, in my little bubble
I watch your happy lives from afar and wish for you upon a star
I stay here, in my isolation
I thought I could reach out to touch you, yet illusions only slip through
I scream, you cannot hear me
This is the life I lead, cold and hungry, full of need
Yet you all see right through me
And that is when I realised thatās all I amĀ
A girl
Thatās the only thing that exists of me in your memories
Do you remember my smile?
My favourite colour? Favourite song?Ā
Do you remember what my laugh sounded like? It doesn't sound like that anymore.
Was that all I ever was to you?
A girl
My day ended sometime between 10 am and noonĀ
I was holding onto the idea that I could keep going
But I donāt think I could
So my day ended
and I lost myself to the grey oblivion
All found in the sweet memory of home
of you.
I find it extremely funny that we are constantly told thatĀ ālife is shortā and yet, life is the longest thing we experience.Ā
When I look back, I realise
I realise how I always feltĀ
I realise that what I thought to be happiness was just a carefully crafted illusion to keep me from ever moving on
And I realise that I am now free
But I do not discount my past
I do not ignore my experiences, the people I love, the world I knew
I do not angerĀ
When I look back, I smile
I smile, because even though Iāve moved on, that was a part of my life, a part of me, and it always will be
I smile because that is where I found you, hiding in the darkness, along with a million reasons to burst forth and live life
When I look back, I know I can move forward.Ā
āIt is time,ā I thought.
Time to brush the dust off my heart, test to see if these stitches will hold.Ā
Time to see if it is to beat steadily again.Ā
Time to try.Ā
So, with nothing but hope, I went forward. I thanked you for all you did for me, but it was high time I moved on from this lost place.Ā
So, let me walk forward with the lessons of the past etched into my heart.
