From a loved one who tossed them to the hardwood floor.
They came to tell me how I’m truly missed,

Peter Pan Lost to the Captain's Hook
I remember that I once called him Peter Pan
The man I loved, and yet a child at heart to me
A name that became vividly more portending
at pretending than I ever could've imagined.
A lost boy I...

Love On One Side No Love On The Other How I wished that a road to your heart
Hadn't come to a dead end
You say you love me
Or do you just pretend
There's no feeling in your kiss
No warmth in your smile
You never tell me...

I Wish I Had
"The ego within forced me to resist,
But now I wish I had effused a love mist,
With aplomb and flair, just kind of left it there,
For self-aware souls passing by, who choose to pair."

As the Sun slowly sets on another day,
I wonder what has led me to these thought that stray.

Traveling LightWhen the world weighs down, I collapse into my mind
I can't form real connections because this world has been unkind
And no matter what I try it always comes back to this

“Love is being calm.
“Love is soft and sweet like the skin of a newborn. Love whispers and sings, just a little off key.

Lost LoveIn shadows cast by waning light,
A love once vivid, now takes flight.
The candle that once burned bright,
Now whispers of a cold, harsh night.

Reflecting echoes of love's goodbye,
Emptiness in your...

I Wish I HadInside, I was compelled to decline
How could I be yours when I was mine?

Prime power of owning me,
Spiralled down to feeling blue
Detrimental déjà vu.
Though wishes...

Would Rather Take You BackI would much rather regret how all along I was mistaken
Than ever forget about you or leave you forsaken.
I much rather make you feel so taken by me again....
