Turning To Rust
Weathered
Old
And scarring
The life
Of
The metal
Once sharp
And full of
Force
Is now
Feeling the
Effects
Of aging
And compression
In a life full of
Opportunities
Gratefully
Declined
Over subjective
Options
Altering states
And
Changing atmospheres
A few years
Down the road
Like an old
Car
The cover
The paint job
Wears
And tears
Fades
And chips
Down to the
Metal
All that’s
Left
The mainframe
That supports
Keeps
Leverage
In things
In life
But as the
Rain
The
Hardships
Or the
Drugs
Take effect
The metal
The mainframe
The leverage
Once strong
Wears down
And
Discolors
Turning
To rust
Before
Decimating
To nothing
A life
Once
Celebrated
Now
Only a thought
Of how strong
It used
To be
Now it’s
Just
Rusted
And
Useless
Waiting For You
And I listen
To the
Same
Songs
On repeat
For hours
At a time
Because
It makes me
Think
Of you
And I could
Be sick
Of the
Fact
Of you
Or the
Songs
But
I don’t
Mind
And
All this
Time
You
Think
I’m
Moving on
When I’m
Still
Here
Just like
Yesterday
And
Will be
Tomorrow
Right here
Where
I’ve always
Been
Where
I’ll always
Be
Waiting
For
You
When We Sleep
Later than
Most nights
After a night
Out
Or a night
In
On my bed
Your curled up
Next to me
Wearing my
Button down
After a night
Out
Or my V-neck
After a night
In
And because
On the mornings
I don't have
To get up
We stay up
All night
Talking
Hand in hand
A TV on
In the background
With no sound
Only the light
Silhouetting
Our shadows
Against
The wall
And when
We sleep
I know
Next to you
I'm falling asleep
With the
Prettiest girl
In the world
The Perfect One
Describe the perfect one
What she looks like
And the way
The sun reflects
Off her face
How she speaks
And how perfectly
Your hands fit
Together
What she does
For a living
Because she
Cares
Or how well
She cooks
Your favorite dish
And
Don't forget
How she smells
Waking up
Next to you
Picture
Her eyes
Looking at
You
Making you
Lose yourself
For a brief
Moment
And
How her smile
Makes you
Melt every time
Her joys
Her fears
Secrets
She'll share
With only you
Imagine
How you meet
And
How you ask her
Out
And everything
In between
Leading up to
That first kiss
Perfectly planned
Thought out
The perfect one
Her
In your head
But when
You meet her
The perfect one
Things don't
Go as planned
And she doesn't
Have the job
You thought
Or has different
Secrets
This girl
However
Isn't the
One
You dreamed up
In your mind
She's better
Better
Than that
How you pictured
Everything
How you pictured
Her
Because for her
She
She's more
Than what you
Thought
More than you ever
Dreamed
For she
She
Is the real
Perfect one
You Stole My Heart
And when
I was little
Younger then
I was
In love
Butterflies
Or
Breathless moments
Each time
I saw you
Always a kiss
On your
Cheek
Every time
I said
Hello
Flowers
On special
Occasions
Or any occasion
Because
You were always
My special occasion
Holding
Your hand
Before sleep
Under
The blankets
Before I drift
Off to sleep
"See you soon"
And now
Older
I am
No longer
Young
But
Still in
Love
Because I
Remember
The moment
You stole
My heart
Secret Missions
There were
Letters
Texts
Cards
Among
Other things
I thought of
When I
Thought of
You
And a lot
Of the time
All this
Was never
Sent
Secret missions
I called
Thought
Of them
When
Referring to
You
Classified
These projects
Were
You never knew
But as
Time went by
These secret missions
Projects
Became declassified
As in
Canceled
Operations
No longer funded
Or just
No longer
A heart
Or fight
For this
You
Secrets
And
Secret missions
Covered up
And
Forgotten
Taken
To the grave
Enclosed
In my heart
Keys To Your Heart
I want to believe
That you were
And still are
Right for me
When I close my eyes
Part of me tries
And wishes
For you
Things were not
Supposed
To work out
And even though
You still have doubt
I still believe
Believe
That you won’t leave
Me
And I try
Try for you
Through and through
I’d never leave you
I’m pushing
Until we reach
The spring
That things
Get better
Because I wrote
It in a letter
To you
I hope you
Get it
In time
So one day
You can be mine
Then the world
Will be fine
But until then
I hope to see you
Again
And maybe you’ll
See me
See that I hold
The key
The key to you
And me
