6 Word Story
Someone will love you
I know I did.
You asked me once "how much?"
I said "from here...."
And I can't hate you
No matter how much I want to
Baby isn't that what love does
Makes us want what hurts us?
But I can't want you anymore
This deja vu of loving you
Has turned my heart into a civil war
And I have given you too much of me to be half loved by a boy who couldn't
Love me enough
Tell everyone I was the warmest place you knew til you turned me cold
I was a steady heart to hold
But then it broke
I should have known you'd go
You always do
Like "love" is always almost "lose"
You take a hammer to my porcelain heart
Shattered, but still enough to piece me back again
How dare you have the nerve to kiss the
Bullet holes inside my chest
While the gun is still smoking in your hands
But I can't want you anymore
Your complacency
Your loving me
I'm sick and tired of this back and forth
We had some good times didn't we?
Was it enough to make it worth it?
Not enough to make it hurt less
Tell everyone I was the warmest place you knew til you turned me cold
I was a steady heart to hold
But then it broke
I should have known you'd go
You always do
Like "love" is always almost "lose"
I loved you in my room
And in Yours too
And in the back parking lot where the trucks pull through
And you don't know
You never did
You never will
But I do.
My 6 word story:
"I want it to be you"
Oh god, I wanted it to be you.
I find myself
Overthinking, under sleeping, counting stars.. Wide awake
These constellations are just the broken pieces of my heart
I count them for you anyway.
Two for the times you held my hand
In the car
In the dark
Three for when you kissed me good morning and goodnight
Six, for every time we fit together just right
And one, just one, for that last goodbye
Someone will love you
I know I did
From there
"...To here"
Still Lonely
August never moved so slow
I'm out of places to call my own
Consistency, stability, for once I crave for once I need and for once it evades me
And I tried, I tried so hard to keep you steady
Tied you with a bow
Wrapped up in all my ghosts
Had I known that letting go would be so easy
Maybe I'd never have latched on
You steadied me
You set me free
And shattered whole new parts of me that I'd kept buried underneath
But my tidal wave carried me
So I braved the storm
Thinking you'd be by my side
And I survived
But I'm still lonely
I'm still lonely
I trace your smile in my mind
A topographic map of all the words we left behind
You are a place to land
You hold my hand and for a moment I forget
We never stood a chance
And I find, I find it sad how I can miss you
I miss you even though you've never gone
And through all the madness I've been left to sift through
I never had been sure
If you were my lighthouse or my storm
You steadied me
You set me free
And shattered whole new parts of me that I'd kept buried underneath
But my tidal wave carried me
So I braved the storm
Thinking you'd be by my side
And I survived
But I'm still lonely
I'm still lonely
The sentimental parts of me
Are taking charge and picking teams
Divide my head and heart
And the more I hold my breath for you
The more of me I start to lose
So breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
You steadied me
You set me free
And shattered whole new parts of me that I'd kept buried underneath
But my tidal wave carried me
So I braved the storm
Thinking you'd be by my side
And I survived
But I'm still lonely
I'm still lonely
True North
All you know
Is where you have been
And where you have conquered
All this road is wearing you thin
And driving you mad
But steady now
Though your compass breaks
Your True North remains
All your stars
Are fading
Fading to black
Ad you will drift
Into nothingness
Traversing the dark
But steady now
As you float away
Your True North remains
Time and time again you lose your way
The solidarity of the life that you long for is changed
And time and time again you're on your own
But time and time again you find your way home.
All you know
Is where you have been
And where you have conquered
All you want
Is the familiar embrace
Of endless unknowns
But steady now
Though your compass breaks
Your True North remains
