He smiled but it didn't seem to touch his eyes...

He told the truth, but she couldn't get past all the lies

She left to try to find someone better

He couldn't do anything else but let her

They parted, but yet never truly said goodbye

For once before, their love wasn't a lie

She smiled but it didn't seem to touch her eyesAnd he knew that he was the reason why.

He smiled but it didn't seem to touch his eyes

as old memories

were brought back

time has passed

but yet we pretend that nothing has changed

but everything has changed

even your smile

that I used to love

she swings next to him,

out of sync,

but they meet at the bottom

every time they come down,

and he can't find her rhythm

no matter what he does,

wishing he could

sway with her,

but she adds to the breeze

when she passes,

and when he has to stop,

and leave the park,

it'll feel home

when he stands,

because there at the bottom,

where feet scrape dust,

the one place

her perfume crossed his path,

and he could see her smiling

as she changed speed,

knowing he would never

stop until there was no sun.

We've wasted our chances, and we're just filled with bad romances. We're never together yet never apart.

You love me and you hate me, for you know that you can't change me. I'm your favorite enemy and your most hated friend.

They say opposites attract. Like negative and positive, sweet and sour, winter and summer, or fire and water.

But we're not fire and water. Oh no, we're fire and gasoline. Just one touch and everything we have will be burnt to ashes.

Opposites don't attract. Opposites distract. They distract each other from their own horrible lives of smoke, death, and tears.

But while they both attempt to hold themselves up, they end up tearing the other down. They fall between the cracks then forget about each other 'till they get each other back.

I never seem to please you, but you don't ever let me go.

I look to him again, so handsome and always there. Always. 

My moon shining and tonight he grins. Yes I return, with my company of bottle and cigarette; tip burning to the filter. 

He likes me on my back in complete submission. As to remind me of how small and finite I am in this vast world. He whispers how he loves the shade of green my eyes get when tears fall silently from their corners. They tickle on their way down. So I smile.

He sends me a wind and tousles my hair. The grass I lay in, fresh with forming dew from the morning that appears to be promised this time around. 

Here we go my lover Luna, 3 am walks and a free soul who's wings just don't give a fuck to fly. 

Tell me, while you  are up in that sky, she must be quite exquisite for him to just get up and not even say goodbye?

I'll

drink

till

I see

the girl

at the

bottom

of my

glass.

I hope she has your eyes.

Knitted together

by light of the moon,

my eyes strained

to reach your soul,

two magnetized spirits

drawn together

forming one mind

in deep purple shadows.

I laid my hands

upon your heart

to grasp the light,

ignited in flames,

overcome by awareness

we had been soulmates

since beginning of time.

Steaminess was drawn

from our core as

love unfolded like

thawing ice pressed

between pages of books.

Scent of you clung

to my skin as

we pulsed in the joy

of blue sapphire night.

Hearts tied together

in cottony cloud,

stitched in sync

with euphony of love,

destined to meet.

You're the reason why I cant listen to those same songs I used to

I texted you the other day to see whats new

But the text stayed blue

I wish it wasn't true

You're gone and I don't know what to do

I wish I had a clue

So much I wish I told you, only if you knew

I have a paper due, but the only things I can write are about you

you're a long way from home now

And there's nothing I can do

I wish you'd come back to us dude

If you would have talked to us we could have helped you through

You were selfish

Did you ever think about the crew

I'm sorry dude

I broke down when I heard the news

You should have seen the camera crews

Things wont be the same since we lost you

Everyone came to the funeral

The words your mom spoke were truly beautiful

But you're home now and thats indisputable

Your family has been up to the usual

Your brother nick grew up quick

Hes been kickin it with this chick

Wish you could see his clique you'd get such a kick

Were starting to get a grip

We all know you were sick

Never thought you'd be the one to slip

We took a trip to see you

Sparked an l and reminisced

You are truly missed

Im saying this with a clenched fist

Because I'm pissed

But I'll see you when we coexist

For now I'll just drift

And sift through the emotions

That inhibit the motions

I now understand the notions

You were gold and thats why you could never stay

You're gone now

I just wish there was something I could say
