Inside Here

Must I go on living here?
Among the objects we both touched.
The air that she once breathed.
In the name of what?
The hope of her return?
I hoped for nothing, yet I live in expectation.

Forget It, I Guess...

It’s when I’m standing six feet away from you and not being able to find the words to tell you how much I love you and how much I miss you that I want to just scream to the whole room that I’m still in love with you. It’s when I’m sitting alone with the phone in my hand dialing your number and hanging up that I would trade a thousand tomorrows for just one yesterday. Then I could just call you to tell you goodnight. It’s when I am really sad about something and need someone to talk to that I realize you’re the only one who really knew me at all. It’s when I cry myself to sleep at night and it hits me how much I would give to hold you at that very moment. It’s when I think about you that I realize no one else in the world is meant for me.

Pity Party

Your eyes, they tell me lies
But your mouth speaks a different language
Moving quickly but carefully
Speaking the truth for you is harder than learning Spanish
No accents or punctuations
Just letters and words
Coming from the mind not the heart
Things you can't say get lost in exhales of doubt
Even you doubt yourself
You're not a good liar
It's written all over your face

How's the veiw from your porch?

If people saw you from my eyes...
They'd see the most beautiful woman I know.
Those big brown eyes that pierce my soul.
The bright smile that can light up my life on the darkest of days.

If people knew you like I do...
They'd know an intelligent woman.
One that studies hard but knows how to party even harder.
A woman who knows what she wants, for the most part, and tries hard to get it.

If people listened to you like I do...
They'd hear a girl who is just crying out for love.
One that sings along to corny love songs and quotes love stories.
A woman who talks softly and speaks with meaning.

Lonely

The feeling of the moment has lifted.
I hear my feet move quickly against the wet sidewalk.
And the rain is the background music to my thoughts.
The words you said to me moments ago are echoing in my head.

"I had sex with him."
Those five words.
Those five words just ripped a hole in my heart.

No more late night calls to help put you to sleep.
No more thinking of two... just three.
Me, myself and I.
