Fine Alone
Sometimes I think maybe I’m not so strong. Sometimes it feels like everything is wrong. Why am I so naïve? Why's my heart always on my sleeve? I pick myself apart Like it’s a form of art. It’s no wonder I keep giving my all Only to shatter & fall. Maybe when push comes to shove I’m just impossible to love. I seem destined to be alone, True love never to be known. Maybe it’s for the best, If I lay my heart to rest. I don’t need the pain Of always drowning in the rain. I shall cage my heart behind a wall, Melt the key & build it tall. No one's getting in or out, Make sure no one sees me pout. Goodbye forever to my once future dream, I’ll be fine alone you’ll see.

2 Sides
I find myself making excuses for you, But I know I can’t. I have to make myself see, You’ve finally shown the truth to me. You did it harsh and painful, Cutting like a knife, Before, in the end, Tossing me out of your life. But then I have to wonder, Was that really you? Was it that time after a few months, Where you showed your colors true? Or was this trauma triggers? I’ve been there myself; you see. I know how it can be. Are we a little bit the same? It doesn’t excuse the pain, But it might help explain. I always thought we were uniquely qualified together, But maybe I should be knowing better. Stuck between forcing myself to believe the worst, And trusting my feelings, Giving in to the urge to show patience & tolerance. I sit here in the distance, Pondering my feelings, And trying to keep busy. Honey, this is far from easy, But I’m a pro at pulling through, So I’ll just leave it up to you.

Betrayal
I keep hoping I’ll wake up from this awful dream How did we even get here? I tried so hard to stay in my lane But in the end, I still got pain. I don’t understand what happened. It all seems so surreal, A 180 out of nowhere. Were you ever even real? Your words just replay in my mind, Cutting deeper every time. I feel so betrayed, foolish, & hurt. I gave you my trust, my truth, & my love, And you used every bit of it against me. I thought it was okay to be honest with you, But you proved that wasn’t true. You Felt so familiar, And yeah, I didn’t know you long, And the little things, Most were still unknown. But I saw you… inside I saw you… But maybe it was only what you wanted me to see. Did you sense my eyes on your soul? Was everything I saw just a show? Did you just like the attention? Did I play into some scheme? Set up to demean me… Make me feel… Just so you could shame me? How is it I still care for you? How can I love you? You attacked me with your anger And became a perfect stranger.

You Felt Like Home
A restless tear-filled night Trying to ignore the pain, Seems quite fitting For the coming morning rain. I wish I could make it stop, Need to turn my feelings off. I could’ve sworn you were the one, My heart still feels it’s true, But with all you’ve said it must be done; I need to get over you. Right now I just want to be numb, Crawl in a hole, Away from the world. How could I be so dumb? I had faith in you & me, Because I feel it’s meant to be. I don’t want to go to sleep, For fear I’ll see you in my dreams. Now every time I think of you My heart aches & breaks. My eyes well up & tears fall I can’t hold them back at all. This hurts more then I’ve ever known, Because you, You felt like home.

You & Me
Tell me what I can do To make it better for you. Let me be your safe place, In my arms your calm space. I promise not to hurt you, And I’d never, ever dessert you. You can give me your trust, Test me if you must. You & me, we’re cut from the same cloth, And to you, I’d pledge my troth, Because it’s for you my heart yearns. We’ve each been dealt some twists & turns, So fate could bring us together. To earn your love would be my greatest treasure. I truly believe that you and me, Honey, we’re meant to be. Oh sweetness, won’t you please Let up your guard & trust your heart with me? Let our fingers intertwine, Press your lips against mine. I just want to feel you close, It’s your presence I crave the most. Trust yourself to be with me, Let’s start making our history. Give us both some credit, I promise you won’t regret it. There’s never going to be a right time It’s an idea I’ve left behind. Life is always gonna happen What we could be, just imagine. Don’t make us wait, Someday could be too late.
