Catch And Release

Sometimes love is cruel
You’re meant for them
but they aren’t meant for you

Sometimes love is blind
You can feel it and crave it
but it’s not the right time

Sometimes love is harsh
You can want more for them
than you do for yourself

Sometimes love is tired
You can fight all you want
but the flame won’t make fire

Sometimes love is numb
You can break too much
when you think they’re the one

Sometimes love leaves
lingering on your heart –
right there on your sleeve

Sometimes love is cruel
it’s better to just let go
than to try and hold onto.

Drug Of Choice

So you say
You’re never drinking again
And at the end of the day
The loneliness sits in
So you fill the cup
And you take a sip
Allowing yourself
To get lost in it

Then the next morning
You feel the pain
The sting of regret
Keeps happening
And you make promises
Telling yourself
No more drinking
It’s bad for your health

Like a broken record
It plays again
When you’re with everyone
Even with friends
You crave a sip
You say “just tonight”
And promise yourself –
It’s the last time

But the drink is poison
And it takes control
Intoxicating addiction
Dangerous yet wonderful
Then the next morning
You tell yourself
It was the last time
Put the bottle on the shelf

So you say
You’re never drinking again
But towards the end of the day
The loneliness sits in
So you call him up
For one last fix
You lie to your heart
And say this is it.

Ceramic Simmer

He didn’t care

Want her
Need her
Deserve her
Appreciate her

But she sat there

Waiting
Thinking
Wondering
Overheating

On the back burner.

In The Silence

When she heard the term “love”
She’d laugh
She knew the idea was something
In the past
When she heard the term “forever”
She’d cringe
It just reminded her of how naive
She could have been

When they said “it will happen”
She’d pause
She accepted things as they were
How it was
When they said “it exists”
She knew
It just didn’t anymore
It wasn’t true

When she felt something new
She’d fight
If it wasn’t with him
It wasn’t right
When she felt anything at all
She’d run
She didn’t believe anymore
There’s no “true love”

But when she was alone
She’d think
Of all that could’ve been
All that could be
But when she alone
She knew
It wasn’t because of her
It was because of you.

The Best Of You

She crosses your mind in the morning
She stays there most of the day
She makes you long to see her
No matter the time or place

She talks about you to her friends
Her family gets to meet you, too
She makes you want to show the world
Images taken of the two of you

She gives you reasons to claim her
With no pressure for any title
She brings out the best in you
If you had to, you’d fight for her

She wasn’t who you thought she would be
Maybe she was exactly what you needed
She’s closer to your age
She silences you when you feel defeated

She makes you want to be a better man
She probably loves you but she shouldn’t
She must be everything you wanted
She’s done all the things I couldn’t.
