Hard To Forget

Searching for the chemistry that we had
Was it ur age?
She is ur age and yet not the same
Was it ur blonde hair?
She has blonde hair and still not like u
Looking for the qualities that only u possess
Smoking myself into a coma every night
Clearly out of my mind
Thoughts of u send my mind into a tailspin
Lost with no communication
Searching an uncharted piece of my soul
I have never had these damned feelings
The words u told me were lies of a hopeful heart
We will never pick up where we left off
This emptiness will never be filled
I thought that I had loved and lost before
I had no idea it was like this...

My happy place is listening to Harry Styles with u on the porch in the sunshine of May. Ur blonde hair glowing in the sunshine. White tank top, short jean shorts. Ur yellow toe nail polish.
Soon after, reality starts to take over
The clouds roll in and slowly take away my sunshine, as u disappear into the fading sunshine. I am left alone in the gloom of an overly cloudy, grey sky. I wait through the rain and snow, hoping to catch a glimpse of ur face in the sunshine.


Second Chances

Didn't think I would be back here but then again it's like I get another chance to react differently and subliminally I get to handle it another way, what a day I'm not even gonna lie it hurt but I recognize your worth and I still believe you're the one who can fulfill my needs because it's you who I want, I can't front so when I turned my back I always looked back hoping you would too but also prepared if you never did, you don't have to be scared to fall for me I'll catch you that's a promise, I honor you enough to take it slow and respect you enough to let our love grow even when we're apart. I don't wanna start over let's pick up where we left off, our kids playing together me losing myself in your most deep inner thoughts. We deserve each other. We both been down the road that leads no where, but when I'm with you I don't have a care in a world, you're the girl I never thought I'd get but now I'm scared to lose. And now that it seems like we both have a second chance at love my only question is do you feel the same way I do

A Tale of Vampirates

Busy reading a curious series 
Wrapped in the fantasy 
Written within it's covers
A story of Vampirates

A complex tale of lives entwined 
Destiny shaped before life 
Journeys embarked upon
While sailing the open seas

Set in a time ahead of now 
Throughout the past plays it's part
Challenges faced by siblings divided
Worlds apart their loyalties tried

Enchanting descriptions of a world apart
Removed from reality
Still within its embrace
An epic tale of adventure

Thousands of pages
To tell its full tale
A beautiful story
An original, truly one of a kind

Wanting the story to continue 
For the characters journeys 
To not be through
To pick up where we left off

Sailing through the seas
In search of answers
Of treasure 
And more

Twins who were once sheltered 
Exposed to untold dangers
Denied the truth
To who they are

Centuries of time 
Riddled with tales 
Of more than just the twins 
Conner and Grace

But alas the tale is done
With their unusual stories
Left swinging in limbo
So onto the next one

again and again

I was working at the market when the news of you first hit town 
with you came a silence, your boots on the pavement became my only sound
what started as glimpses of you in the light
soon after I was haunted by your face in the night 
I waited for a moment when your eyes would reach mine 
you had me imprisoned and you were the crime 
I took a walk around the valley and searched for you there 
wrote a hundred different letters that soon I would tear
but you saw me that night walking out of the close 
asked how I was, I nearly choked 
it’s like you froze time 
and you gave me new vision 
things I’d never even glanced at, lit up bad decisions 
I couldn’t shake off infatuation with you 
I had felt so used up and you made me brand new 
your face had been etched into each waking thought 
my head was so full of everything I’d been taught 
and all these years later, you still live in my head 
I still wake up in the early hours, reach to your side of the bed 
that you never even slept in 
yet there’s all this empty space 
that you once took up, smile wiped from my face 
and even if I now know, not to wait around 
there’s a part of me that still yearns
for you to return
with everything that you’ll learn 
you’ll repaint this town
fill my life with your sound
pick up where we left off, really turn things around
because I’m still at the market 
everything’s just the same 
I’m ready to hear of you, 
again and again
