Solitude.

sometimes I feel like my chest will explode
from the emotion I let build up inside
because this emotion can't be described
a yearning, an aching so deep
it only leaves me incomplete
I feel this path that I must follow
Until I am not quite so hollow
So much that needs to be done
It has only yet begun
All the lessons waiting to be learned
The love to be shared in return

Fairy tale love

I liked to feel the weight of your body on mine
It helped me feel grounded

Like none of this could ever be wrong

There was no way in just a few months

We would have screaming matches

Purely formed by spite

What we had was magnificent

It was a dream come true

Our own little fairy tale

But the time was short

I often wonder what could have been

If your time away wasn’t so long....

Maybe if our minds didn’t think so much....

If our insecurities disappeared....

I remember the day we laid together on your bed

The sun came through the windows

And I felt we were the only two people on earth

My only wish was that I could swallow up all your pain

Breath it all into my lungs so you wouldn’t hurt anymore

Listening to your story made my chest heavy

I felt like my kiss could heal your scars
that my words could change your thoughts
Maybe I was naive, maybe I was lost in love
But my thoughts were pure and my intentions were good
I guess it wasn't enough
We set ourselves up for disaster
before it began it was doomed to fail
Expectations too high and confidence low
We slowly ruined our fairy tale love
