If Only by Raveena on Apple Music

Song · 2017 · Duration 3:21

[portalpoetry]

I never knew how to be with you

Without tearing your world apart.

Constantly, this world tormented me as I fought.

Instead of giving up, I doubled down on our love.

But it was too late.

I’d already made poor decisions.

I’d already chased nights with red cups.

None of it was enough.

My Darlin' (feat. Future) by Miley Cyrus on Apple Music

Song · 2013 · Duration 4:03

[portalpoetry]

I traced your scent around the world.

I scrambled, trying to find myself first.

Was I gone for decades or months?

Time is something I could not tell in this form.

You don’t think of me clearly

You don’t even see me

Not the grief that haunts me

Not a moment do you pause

But I know who you are

Behind your decorum and facade

[portalpoetry]

Have you ever had the day smile upon you?

A moment of looking up to the sky,

Thanking someone.

The Heavens, The Gods,

I love those moments where

I triumph despite the odds.

It feels like the day smiles upon me.

Just like I wished it would, it does.

If Only I Could See You In The Haze

I’m Lonely And I’m Learning All The Same

Whenever Things Aren’t Going The Right Way

There’d Better Be A Mirrorball by Arctic Monkeys on Apple Music

Song · 2022 · Duration 4:25

[portalpoetry]

I want you before the heavens rain down upon us

In fact, I need you to face me when it happens because

I’d feel rather incompetent without your company

[portalpoetry]

You are not the maze that I’m familiar with running into

I don’t meet my ending or undoing because of your influence

Instead, I am encouraged by your complexity and completion

Mutually attracted and curious about the way that light embraces you too

[portalpoetry]

I looked for you in everyone

I still do

I still do

I still do

I hear you’re doing well anyway

And me? I’m doing well, too

[portalpoetry]

Your demeanor is your armor

And I understand that more than others

Only test trials of access for unwanted karma

Maybe your name is more important

Than your cadence toward your lover

[portalpoetry]

I’d wait for you more than I want to

But you are a broken promise

Scorned and unable to be mended

You, yourself, cannot detract

Years of evidence in your skeleton closet
