every year
around the same time
She’s wanted to start again
but if she’s being honest
what she really means
is she wants this life
to end.

It was a furry creature by day
Predator by night
It would cuddle and smile
Only in daylight
But when the sun would set
And the moon would glow
She knew if she let it
It would steal her soul
Getting lost in the daytime
A creature to be kept
Maybe she should keep it –
Could love it like a pet
But the day ends in night
It’s a creature of the dawn
Just passing through her woods
Somewhere it didn’t belong
And she let the creature go
Knowing it would devour her
She couldn’t hold on to it
It was the happiness inside of her
So she held onto pain
And all things predictable
It was just happiness –
Just a stranger after all.

If you liked it
then you should’ve
put cheese
on it.

It is what it is, it’s not what it’s not
Sometimes it’s a win, sometimes it’s a loss
Sometimes in life the roads are paived
Sometimes in life the skies are gray
Here we are judging each other
Life’s more than just your Facebook cover
And you can smile and post another pic
But it’s really so much more than this
So judge as you will – judge as you must
Have your friends – those you trust
At the end of the day,
things aren’t like your dreams –
You see what people show
Things aren’t as they seem.

Late nights
Happy endings
They call it lust –
It’s love pretending
Secrets kept
Deleted texted
They call it passion
But they forget
Passion fades
Hearts break
Torn between
Regret and mistake
Late nights
Happy endings
They call it lust –
It’s love pretending.
