Up

 

discombobulated

left alone

each in separate worlds

i want you as my own

blurred vision

distracted thoughts

pain in my chest

why was i the one you sought?

the moments we shared

were simple and sweet

yet fringed with lust,

pain, and deceit

breathing heavy

caught in the moment

life passed us by

as we each thought we owned it

now it's all over

and you've been taken

i'm left confused

feeling forsaken

seems unimportant

like i shouldn't care

yet the thoughts in my head

won't rest till you're here 

 
 

Heart On Your Sleeve
Kristen Berryhill

Perfectly content, I sit here to ponder
A question of life: what does love have to offer?
Everyone with someone acts as happy as can be
Until they're all alone, and no one is there to see.
So for a while life's all good.
Then it gets old and all's understood.
People always want what they can't have.
So I guess it's just nature to always be sad.
With a solemn heart, until the next fling.
Over and over your heart on your sleeve.
Maybe -Just maybe- it's all just a lie.
Maybe love isn't all about "I".

 
 

 

The truth becomes a lie.
The person you loved you now hate.
Tears fall freely.
Days speed by as a blur.
Confusion settles in.
Blink and everything changes.
Life is like a foggy mirror.
Your emotions overlook the truth.
You only see what you want to see
Through the eyes of your feelings.
