I’m falling apart beneath my smile… I grapple blindly for a rope To save myself from rising waters. I come up, lungs full of despair, And my parents cover my mouth
In my house, You don’t ask questions. The whispers from mom and dad Signal you to a hiding place. In my house,
Not as ardent as before. I’m tired. Slowing down, A tail growing heavier and longer With each day.
I’m silently screaming Alone in the bathroom. The tears of a sinner Won’t let my fears go. I’m suddenly drowning.
It’s over. It’s okay. The parting is such sorrow And relief. It hurts like a crushing force,
I wish I could tell my brother That I loved him, But the words are tight in my thro… And I’m a coward. I wish I didn’t say “thank you”
In the darkest night, A flower will grow.
Like Augustus, I fear oblivion When I should pass.
With him, It’s like there were no scars. There are no sheepish looks No burning shame. There was no John
He thinks I’m pretty And maybe too witty, That I was worth the fight. He claimed he’s so glad. I’m the best he’s ever had.
Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.
Things I wish I could say Would be I miss you, I love you, I want to be with you,
There is no real romance like fore… There is no time or room to breath… But just the beating of their hear… Traps you. Like a rabbit hopelessly ensnared,
You met me in the winter When I was a petal, Something you desperately wanted t… You loved me in the summer, Underneath the palm oil trees
Woah. The bright sky Makes me want to live, And the grass Smells too good to miss.
