this is me...

an aching inside of my chest. can't find solace. can't find rest. somewhere, closely, her smile hides. young girl, shattered inside. in whom shall i confide? in whom shall i confide?

Have You Ever

Have you ever felt as if you were trapped
Inside a glass box,
Where all of your secrets are public
And all of your memories lost?

Have you ever tried to scream
Yet you could not hear the sound?
Suddenly, you slip in the deep end
And watch your heart drown.

Have you ever tried and tried
To let go of the love that hurt?
Instead, you hold on longer, and tighter
And go back on your word?

Have you ever felt like you were dreaming;
Dazed by the way that you feel?
And being awake in that moment
Would mean that it would not be real?

Have you ever loved so much that it burns?
So much that you cry?
So much that you’re in love
And you don’t even try?

Have you ever felt hopeless,
For in love you have lost
That you would give anything for that moment
Take it at any cost?

Have you ever loved so much
That it threw your life off track?
So you had to let it go
In hopes that it would come back.

Have you ever?

The Thump

Once upon a time,

In my heart,

There was a THUMP

Somewhere now,

Lost in reality

I can't seem to get over

The hump

Right thing to do

In my mind

Trying to make it work

Somewhere now,

Lost in reality

Have to get over

The hurt
