Empty My Mind

my attempt to be understood

stains everything i do

there are no mistakes

let the chaos consume you

And in the end it's you against you, fighting for yourself.

watch the sun,

rise,

the sky is a much sweeter poet.

look away,

oh unwieldy femininity,

i am unworthy of your gaze.

may our eyes meet,

reflections in the same star,

the sun watches you,

fall.

candle of the night,

i succumb to your prowess,

extinguish my reality,

oh burning desire,

be gentle with the flame.

i can not forgive what hasn’t happened,

or forget what’s to come,

whether i drown in hazel,

or endure in song,

i’ll still just be watching movies,

leaving it up to the divine.

Poltergeist

There’s an outstretched hand,

Just out of touch,

Just out of reach.

I can almost feel the warmth,

Of small fingertips,

Trying to understand me.

Why do I fight the feeling?

Am I weak?

Am I brave?

I think I’m scared everyday.

Is it the truth I need?

Is it love I want?

Is there something here?

Or is it nothing at all?

stuck in my head i won’t go

to that dark place i know

try to explain my thoughts

lost in translation i’m lost

i was too scared to tell you i loved you

too late it seems

too late it seems

i hear music when i’m around you

i can truly see the beauty in everything. even the ugly. even the impossible.

moth

when i look deep into your eyes,

hypnotized, i’m staring into a light.

i squint my eyes, but im still stuck to you.

i’m burning up from the things that you do.

well i’m a moth,

in the dark im lost,

and it seems all i want here is you.

yea just a moth,

in the dark im lost,

and it seems all i want here is you.

tonight,

you and me,

the sunrise,

i envy.

no home,

come save me,

window,

escaping.

well i’m a moth

in the dark im lost,

and the only light i had was you

yea just a moth,

in the dark i’m lost,

and the only light i had was you.

just leave me,

it’s hopeless,

im burnt up,

and swollen.

someone,

once told me,

true love,

is stolen.

and then suddenly, my mind began to wander.
