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
