What love can do
It’s shocking what love can do,
It can make you smile, or turn you black and blue.
They say you take your chances with love,
But love takes its chances with you.
How will you love the person you pursue?
Don’t blame love if it doesn’t work,
Because love will be there, love mostly has perks.
After you leave
I feel so empty after you leave.
Not immediate, but slowly-
Creeping into my head at sunset,
I am alone.
Alone with my thoughts- my memories of us.
Hurting, because I’m scared they’ll fade away.
Hurting, hoping you’re the one I’ll never lose.
Our future is uncertain, but I want to spend it with you.
Natural clock
The clock Tik-
Toks-
Every day at all times
The moment you realize,
You are limited.
The moment you are afraid for what is coming,
And that moment passes.
You realize again when you’re alone.
In your dark bedroom, as you hear the beat of your heart-
The natural clock.
That moment you realize, it’s okay to be afraid.
Never matching
As the rain breaks through in the springtime,
The birds cramped in their nests in the meantime.
The ring of this rain, your ears won’t catch again.
It may seem the same, but your song has been slain.
Do you think you’d regain the original strain,
If you recorded the clang of the continuous rain?
