Alone and Lonely

alone in a crowded room
such a cliché
but I suppose that
is how I live now
each minute has already
been lived by another

I’m floating
when all around me plant their feet
you would be my tether
the only thing
keeping me here

but I am sadly alone
and lonely in a crowded room
I live a life of
old clichés

It Must Get Easier, Or Else We Wouldn't Be Here

forgive me, dear
for wanting you for needing you
for everything
I didn’t mean to let it go this far

I drown myself in music
in dark in sounds in words
and hope to God
I can forget all the things I've said to you

it shouldn’t have to be this hard
according to the books movies songs
if we were fictional
you would love me more than life itself

wouldn’t that be beautiful

I don’t know why I need you
I don’t know why I care (you say you care too)
I want you out of my head
I don’t want it to go this far

The Darker The Day

it gets harder to fake it every day
the smiles and laughs and oh yes I’m fines
some days giving up seems easier
some days you only want to scream

in this life we strive for happiness
perfection true love and beauty
like it isn’t hard enough just to
get up in the mornings and smile
wave at someone friendly when
really
you’d rather flip them off

it gets harder to breath without crying
to survive a day without breaking down
some days nothing seems possible
some days you dream of endings

other days the light shines through

she loves you.
