Would You Do It All Again?

sell your soul

and i don’t mean it in the way you think it

i’m thinking more symbolically

what you truly want

you give it your soul

your whole being

everything

sell your soul to what you want

Always never, and never always

I’m stuck somewhere,

in the middle of nowhere.

Where here is just as there,

And then is just as now.

I know exactly where I’m lost,

And yet

i am unaware of everything around me.

We’re all different,

So aren’t we all the same?

I think too much,

And sometimes not enough.

Maybe it’s the act of balance,

Throughout all of this chaos.

Don’t we take life,

When we are given death?

Don’t we share hate,

When we steal love?

Sometimes we listen without understanding,

And sometimes we speak without meaning.

Everyone is justified,

And everyone is guilty.

Look at me trying to argue,

That we all can agree.

But we all just turn our backs,

And believe only what we see.

if love is a game,

and ignorance is bliss,

who’s to say we’re winning?

flashlight in a mist,

blind from all who see you,

and when your heart is lit,

careful of the people,

with sweet, sweet sentiments.

it seems my hearts gone cold,

i guess ill save it for later,

you found me in mist, in stone,

throw me in the refrigerator.

maybe one day,

in adoration,

i’ll spark the things

that i was saving,

maybe then,

you’ll see my worth,

burn me up,

into fireworks.

some things are,

better left untold,

im too old for feelings,

and feelings have gotten too old,

i dream of dreams,

and im dying to know,

what they mean,

or what they hold,

for he was a silver boy,

and all she craved was gold.

my heart aches for you

i can’t take it anymore

leave my heart at the door

spilling blood on the floor

a beautiful possibility,

an extraordinary maybe,

“the great perhaps”,

a hopeful tomorrow.

anything may happen,

so let it happen,

and to experience it,

how rare it must be.

I just want someone to be real with me.

even when the whole world is telling me no,

i still only want you.

so tell me,

what should i do?

teach me how to love you

Take one step at a time,

Don’t rush it.

Be a turtle.
