Don't think twice

Let's go
Car's outside
Tomorrow's here
Nobody cares
Can't stay
No time
Hold hands
Shut up
Just drive
I know
You're loved
It's time
Two bags
Two hearts
Four wheels
Hold breath
Last hope
Love rules

I'm not even sure where to sit now

Gonna end up
Just like Mariah did
She warned of the cliff
Described the rocks below
Yet her jump felt fake
Cables attached
She always comes back
This time it took longer
Burning witch of mistrust
She smirks unapologetically
I face my twin...horrified
It's been too long
My broken mirror
My knotted waste of yarn
I expected different
Yet I'm never disappointed
Welcome home

Forever Sweet

The candy is crazy stale
Should've thrown it back at you
But I ate it
Like it was the best I ever had
Enjoyed every chew
Delighted with every lick
Sadly, I ate too fast
May I please have more
Bellyaches aren't forever
But I am

Ghost

Clawed my way out of the ground
To find you waiting
A golf clap and an embrace
We were one again
But when weren't we
We drive around aimlessly
Counting seconds together
Hoping morning never comes again

Sometimes you do

Her mind's gone
Another stole it
Decided it was theirs
Looking around for cameras
Enjoyed it on toast with strawberries
Yet you just watched innocently

Holepunched Heart

Stumbling through graveyards
I never found you
I called to you
Sang your name in so many tones
Waited to hear your laughter
A possible whisper in echoes
No answer
My hollow heart cried out
My empty mind dissolved
You were there
I know you were


attitude adjustment

Knowing how you feel
I lay down my sword
My time has been wasted
On slaying pretend dragons
Remove my black veil
All of me is yours

follow u forever

I kiss you like it's the first time
Breathe life back into me
Tie my ribbons up super tight
Take anything you need

Rainy

Without purpose
She ran into the rain
No longer knowing
If she can fix her brain
Nobody knows
Quite how to fix it
She sits in the road
Contemplating her life's fit
Cars pass by
Throwing up puddles
Everything she tries to love
She destroys and muddles
Dripping and laughing
Our psychotic saint
She curls up and hides
Smearing streaky warpaint

poof

I vanish
For years
I can't
I won't
I'm not

Tiger's eye

Madly...I believe
Everyone gets their chance
Oddly...it passes in a blink
We go on like nothing ever happened

Accepting Ava

I tried to sort them
Contain them
Organize them
It didn't matter
Energy does what it wants
This energy follows no rules
Run free
Child
Warrior
Punker
Street savy
Thinker
Grownup
Tiger
Wild one
Queen
Lady
Realist
Dreamer
Witch
I open the box
Run free my loves
Show them who you are
Show them whatcha got
Change everything
Change everyone
Hesitate for nothing

True

Whispers so soft
Breathe it to me
Paint me your picture 
So I can finally be
So warm it keeps me
So I carry on
I know what's real
I know what's strong

Balcony discussions

Power down
We threw this fight
Slightly concern I'm not
What I need tonight
Electric eyes
I can't retell
The most gorgeous flames
We saw in hell

Serenaded

Singing in this empty room
It bounces off the wall
Singing songs of victory
Not of many falls
Echo myself back
Remind me what I am
This song always refills my tank
Like it did back in exam
But I sing no more of yesteryears
There really is no way
I'd rather sing of what comes next
As I win another day

Smirk and turn

You pushed me out
Then ask why I tripped
You submerge me
Then ask why I cough
I'm set on fire
And blamed for being too hot
Confine the chaos
As my brain is spread paper thin
