One Last Shot

One Last Shot

Ok
So I’ve messed
Up a few times
A few times
More than you
No one’s
Perfect

Maybe I
Think about this
Too much
And about
You
Before
Things really happen

You ignore me
Then talk to me
Are rude
But then nice

I hate how you
Give me freedom
But love when
You ask for
My help

I can’t read you
Maybe
I should give up

But I have
This thought
This idea
That
That just maybe
It will see itself
Through
Work itself out
Between
Me and you

So
I’m giving
This
You
Us
One last shot

Turning The Key

Turning The Key

It was another brand new day
Waking up, it’s been six months
And I feel different
But all the same

You called the other day
Before that I had been good for eight days
You’re moving on and moving fast
And I’m still the same but a lot has changed

I wonder if I can ever break away
And drive away far
Last week I packed up the car
But I couldn’t put the key in the ignition

You still call every so often
To rub in my face how happy you are
Or to remind me of the fact that deep down you aren’t happy
Even though this is something you wanted

But today I wake up
I pack up all my things
And I wore my best clothes
Getting into my car
Hopefully this time I’ll turn the key

Where I Belong

Where I Belong

Where I belong
Is not with you

I’m right for you
But it can’t happen
It would never work

I like you
I love you
I’m leaving you

I’m afraid to
Ruin something good
Ruin my life
Or yours
Our friendship

You mean
More than you know
To me

And I don’t want to
Lose you
I can’t stand
To lose you
So I have
To give you up

So please trust me
And ignore the pain
From this
My heart bleeds
And will hurt forever

It will get better though
And I’ll still be
There for you
Just not by your side
As this
Can never happen

Because this isn’t
Where I belong

Today Hurts Twice As Much As Yesterday

Today Hurts Twice As Much As Yesterday

Today hurts twice as much as yesterday
She says
As the apparent
Loneliness sets in
The shock is over
And reality
Slowly
Creeps in
Like the sun
Creeps in through
The windows
Every
Morning

Only this time
The sun
Brings misery
Instead of hope

Today hurts twice as much as yesterday
Was it the fact
She woke up alone
Or that she was cold throughout
The night
Because he wasn’t there
There to keep her warm
And keep her close
To him

It’s going to be different
Now
Life is going to be
Different
Without him
She thinks
No longer an “us”
But only an “I” or a “me”

Today hurts twice as much as yesterday
As everything has crumbled
Even though
Things like this were meant
To withstand and last
It’s not happening today

Whatever was built
Between her and him
Now lies in pieces
Like the destruction of a tornado
Rips through the innocent lands
Destroying everything in
Its path

But after everything is torn down
And left for dead
Things
People
Can still be rebuilt
Remade
And fixed

Hope
A simple word
But a concept
Hard to understand
In a time like this
For her

Today hurts twice as much as yesterday

New Morning, Same Feeling

It's time
To wake up
The song
On my alarm
Says every
Morning

Looking over
To my
Side
As if
You left
My dreams
But yet
Still
Here
Lying
In white
Sheets
Still
Perfectly
Asleep

Another new
Day
But the
Same
Old
Feeling

Waking up
And
Waking up
in
Love

Just Let Her Go

Just Let Her Go

She doesn’t like you
But you
You like her

You sleep
With her
But does she really
Sleep with you
The way you
Want her to
Sleep with you

Let’s hang out
You’re busy
Let’s drink
I don’t want to
Let’s fuck
Ok

Text me
No
I’ll text you
Ok
But you hate the way
I talk
Because I don’t make
Any sense

It’s time to
Grow up
Get over her
Just let her go
They say

But I can’t

Wooden Heart (Part II)

Wooden Heart (Part II)

And
Hearts
My Heart
I wear
On my arm
But now
Close to my
Chest

No longer
Wooden
But on nights
I wear
Everything
On my sleeve
The wood
Won't splinter
Or
Break
Anymore

But when
It loosens
Slips
Falls
I just have
A heart
No longer
Wooden
To protect
But
To have
To share

With a girl
I wanna
Call mine
For more than
One night

And for
Now
Around my neck
My heart
Stays
Close
To me
Close
To her
