Always Second Place
No matter how much I seem to try,How slow or fast I take it,How much I protect or throw my heart at someone,The fact of the matter still remains,I am always in second place,Left behind and forgotten like a bad memory,Thought of when the dust settles and other options don’t pan out,Second place as if…

Melancholic & Unfeeling
There’s a quiet loneliness I feel,The slow, calm numbing,The one that eats away at you,I don’t tend to notice it at first,Then you feel the sudden pang,When images of couples come across your gaze,You don’t have that,You may never have that,You have given your heart one too many times,It is now tattered and forlorn,A step…

Season
Nothing I say will ease your pain,No amount of well wishes and positive thoughts will change the past,Life has its own weird way of comforting us through suffering,But, know that it is merely a season.The darkness you feel at the moment will pass,You will begin to feel like yourself again,And you will look back at…

Lonely
Lonely I supposed I’ve always felt lonely,A ship without any waters,Untethered,Not attached to any particular place or person,But now I am realizing that my years of independence,Has lead me to crave connections I never forged,Floating through fickle relationships without anyone I can trust implicitly,Has left me lonely,In the middle of the night when my thoughts…
