Moonlight and Monsters

whatever goes through my head

Hypnotized

I made it to Heaven’s gate

And I’m excited to meet my fate

But all the shadows on the floor

Meant I got there too late

different but we feel the same were stuck in our ways until we came face to face and it all changed you make me feel at ease you give me peace I can't begin to tell you how much that means I didn't even notice all that I'd hid away to fit in and how much I missed these pieces of me for so long I longed to be carefree for just one single moment forget all that they demand we might be on different sides still, you stand up for your beliefs and me we can disagree that doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong and it doesn't mean we don't belong 'cause right from the start you saw beyond the facade straight through to my heart you saw everything I tried to deny everything I thought I could leave behind if I just complied by the rules they set for us I admit I was blinded by my trust thought I could only belong if I kept going along if it all stayed the same with you, I can snap out of the spiralling thoughts when you take my hand and pull me away when you hug me and say that it's okay you showed me there can be harmony even after a fight you stay by my side all night you'll wait patiently you'll stay and wait to let me see this through no pressure from you all you ask is to stay true to my heart

Perfectly imperfect

The past can haunt us Its mere presence is relentless makes us blind to what's in front of our eyes always looking back in panic scared it'll catch up and roll us over yet again We just run and try to hide in plain sight pose as someone who's not on the flight someone alright

My love Is it precious something to be treasured or is it a commodity Am I doing it wrong 'cause I think they just strung me along seems like I'm out of tune, and everyone else knows the notes to that song They have no problem finding the melody easily playing in perfect harmony For them, it seems to be instinctual and me, I am so out of control either giving it all without noticing or feeling nothing When I love, I guess, they become the sky for me There they are: the sun, the moon, the stars shining brightly, brighter than I ever could Sometimes it's blinding, so I'll have to close my eyes, or I'll tear up So far away that I'll never reach them So far above me, greater and grander Shining down on me, lighting my path, and I wonder if they know that without them, I'd be lost in the dark Is it easier to hold them up so high to keep the distance Are they that grand, or do I feel that small so insignificant perhaps when they are far above me they don't get to see me clearly on the ground needing love and approval Desperately

Restart

How do you restart? How to stop things from weighing down your heart? Why does it have to be so hard? Is it really, or am I just lazy? I am far from who I'm supposed to be Guess I'll have to face my failures Let go of the bad in the past; the painful memories But again, how do you start? How to make the first step? It seems like life's already too far ahead Can I catch up, or will I remain stuck Kinda feels like I'm forever out of luck Not sure if I can handle one more Loss had too many misses before Should I close this chapter and accept that It ends badly, just keep going with that Ever-present rain cloud over my head It does feel like my feet are made of lead Can't seem to move either ahead or back

[moonlightandmonsters]

Can you sweep me off my feet Make my knees go weak Get my heart to skip a beat I'm just curious Is it presumptuous Asking someone to act out my romantic dream To do the stuff that makes it to the silver screen Maybe, in the end, it's all fictitious

Hopelessly romantic Isn't it just tragic to crave love but not believe void of all logic

Sad Girl Season

Sad Girl Season all year 'round there are no breaks for the blues always reasons to be found a new hurricane to rip out anything that is loose

[moonlightandmonsters]

Anyone but you

I hate the way I feel for you when did I begin to let you in and now I feel like a fool you're way too important, on my mind all the time but you're not mine I swore I'd never be 'the other one' who wants to take you away from where you belong you gave your heart to her before, you told her you'd be there at the end of every day so, I should go the other way so that, we don't cross paths again and nobody can question my intentions please, don't look at me like that you end up turning me mad make me want you desperately don't do it when you're not free

Penitence

It’s easier for me

To let you think I understand

Than to make you rethink

What I don’t understand

[moonlightandmonsters]

Encounters

All my friends are falling in love While I keep stumbling on every step Tumbling, landing on my knees Looking up at the sky and ask Is there someone to give me peace? Is anyone up to the task??

Sometimes it feels like one big joke on my behalf that I can't be part of All the guys approaching me so far They never were honest about who they are Players that pretend and keep gifting me their prettiest compliments Once they come up to me, they can't help but be overwhelmed by my beauty They simply have to let me know That I'm Oh so kind and wonderful As it turns out they're never truthful So, what does that say about this pathetic fool who's always got her head in the clouds

Is it that ridiculous That I'd want someone to trust Is it plain fantasy What do they see in me? Do they think it'd be easy ?? That I'm too naive to call them out or too desperate and full of self-doubt? They want to tell me I'm desirable Only to not respect my word at all So, is it ridiculous that I lost trust?

when chanel miller, said “love is implied...the most important messages are felt, never stated explicitly” i felt that

[aquotecollection]

“In fact I need you to know it was all true. The friendly guy who helps you move and assists senior citizens in the pool is the same guy who assaulted me. One person can be capable of both. Society often fails to wrap its head around the fact that these truths often coexist, they are not mutually exclusive. Bad qualities can hide inside a good person. That’s the terrifying part.”

Calling...

Late Night Calls

A sleepless state

Keep staring at the walls

Will this constant mindless mindfuck be my forever fate?

One call is all it takes and I can't stop being afraid

Obsidian

While I clench my fist

Others suffer in pure bliss

By looking into reflections

Of mirrors that don’t exist
