It takes me a while to fall into
the rhythm of partnership because
I know too well how to be alone.
I know too well how to love myself.
So please be patient babe…
I’ll learn to love you as much as I love me.
I’ll get to know you as well as I know lonely.

Brokenhearted
I’m not brokenhearted
but I once was and
I want to always remember and
I want to always hold a piece of it
somewhere within me
so I will always feel
for the brokenhearted
Heart
I don’t want to make you flutter
in false hope anymore.
I don’t want to make you ache
after yet another failed attempt at love
But trust and be still my heart,
I long just as badly as you do
to find another to love like we do.
Chances
I told you over and over
That once I leave
I’d never come back.
You didn’t believe me
But why would you?
I still gave you so many
chances to make it right.
Sucks that when you finally did
I was no longer in sight.
Stop
Stop falling apart
for people who will
never love you enough
to put you back together.
If
If we aren’t best friends what’s the point?
If I can’t hold all of your secrets, who will?
If I can’t tell you when you’re wrong,
how will we grow together in this thing?
If you don’t see the value I can add to your life,
why still hold on to such a liability?
If I’m not the first person you call when in need,
how could I ever be your lifeline?
If our life experiences aren’t synonymous,
why does that have to mean we can’t relate?
If I don’t impact your thoughts & decisions now,
what future is there between us?
If I am none of these things to you,
why are we even still a “we”?
Magical
On those nights when
My thoughts run untamed
And sleep betrays me
I count your breathes
As you lay soundly beside me.
It’s almost magical the way
Your rhythm eases me.
