Halfway Mark (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 15

Go ahead and take your space
Because here with me is not your place
Maybe I deserve better, but then again maybe I don't
Maybe you need to experience more, but maybe you won't

Here we are stuck in the middle with no one but us
If you leave now how do you expect me to ever trust?
But if it's space that you need, then go ahead
It's worse regretting than waking up in an empty bed

We made it exactly to the halfway mark of forever
Time ticking away just turned into never
And I'm sorry to say that you're all that I got
But I'm more sorry to say I hope it's everything you're hoping it's not

And I'm hoping to say "no" when you want to hear "yes"
That someday I'll want what I want now less
And you're aching for it more than ever
That you regret the unbreakable ties you severed

So I stand here alone at the halfway mark of forever
Time ticking away just turned into never...

      Thank you. It's always much harder to think about what could've been than actually knowing.

    I LOVE this. This is exactly where I'm at currently in my own life, trying to figure out where my path is going and who will be on it with me, if anyone. This reads like a song, so beautiful. Fantastic job!

      Thank you so much! It's funny that you say it reads like a song because that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote it. I wanted to write it in a way that maybe I can make it into a song someday. I think we all get to this point in our lives and it's one of the hardest things we have to decide.

Uninspired (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 14

Completely uninspired Not really sure what I aspire Draw inspiration from "here" But the wheels aren't cranking or turning I stare blankly, trying to think of something clever to say Nothing comes to mind The quotes don't ignite a spark They don't hit a mark So I sit and wait for something to come to me... Waiting, waiting, waiting Nothing. Wanted to say something about a battle But it all seems overused So it looks like I got nothing Wait a minute! Hey! I just got inspired by being uninspired I guess that's it for today...

Lonely, Stupid Girl

Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl He'll never love you the way you love him He'll never get that gleam in his eye And he'll never be excited to see you the way you want Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl You're too dumb to notice Too lonely to care But he'll never understand what you feel Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl He'll always tell you, you think too much Because his mind doesn't hold the capacity yours does It just isn't the same for him Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Walk away and love someone new Someone who will love you the way you give love Someone who will understand that light that turns on every time you see them Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Life is unfair and so is love He's too blinded by his actions to understand how you feel You have love too big for him to grasp Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Take this letter as a word of advice You deserve better You have a heart too big for him to feel Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl ...

Press Stardom (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 17

It's like everything we do is for everyone to see We might as well just film it and make a movie Put it in the cinemas in 2D and 3D Because we can't get a moment of peace They're like paparazzi gaping through the cracks of our home Even with the lights off we're never fully alone  So we put on our shiny smiles made out of chrome And pull out the stitches when no one's looking, that was tightly sewn Only because we're not allowed to crack We can't take that chance unless they turn their backs Why won't they all just go away, take their bags and pack? Maybe then we can continue where we left, get back on track Camera smiles and red carpet attire Come on baby, let's sell it to the highest buyer We made it this far, straight through the wire Don't let them know we're burning in the fire Because there's nothing more that they'll love than a juicy story Let's make this look good no matter how m...
