A moment is the potent measure for time.

In less seconds to wake, in fewer breathes to gasp, a new course can be forged.

Remember always the shaking sands underneath we build our lives.

Yesterday, I sat a happy half. Today, I wish to be whole.

A flash of chance forced on a new mask.

You felt you witnessed my true colors.

I felt you saw what you desired.

As if the late nights, expensive dinners, ...

“The one that got away”

I’ve kept my eye on you

Yet I never acted upon it

I still wonder what would of happened if I did

Would you still be

“The one that got away”

If we never even were together?

The idea of you

Was waiting to happen

But just never did

I know you felt the same way about me once

You have had to

Was I “the one that got away”?

I do miss you sometimes

Even when im always focused ...

Do you remember when you smiled at me everyday

Do you remember when you stared at me at the school dance

Do you remember when you made me laugh when I was sitting alone

Do you remember when you called me short and I would laugh and pretend to be annoyed because that was our thing

Do you remember how it all stopped

Do you remember how you looked at her

Do you remember how I couldn’t look at you fo...

We’ve been everything from siblings

(not really)

to best friends

(supposedly)

to lovers

(unknowingly)

but we’ve never been just friends

Till now, I suppose

Now we’re more distant

But I’ll say this for you and no other boy

Because all the time I’ve known you I’ve known true joy

You’re so perfectly perfect,

It’s almost surreal

From your looks to your manners,

You have so much appeal

You love God an...

Ain’t it strange

The way we rearrange

To have our love stay in our life?

So bizarre

How I would go so far

Just to keep my love, to lose my strife

Just like an angel

Like a sweet bird of prey

You landed on my arm and caught me by surprise

You came on strong, then gently flew away

Just like a circus

We walked on the tightrope trapeze

We couldn’t balance

With the weight of our hearts in our...

Why do you look at me

Why do you talk to me

Why do you joke with me

Why do you make me laugh

And smile

Why does it bother me

When your not around

Why am I looking at you

Why do I care

Why haven’t we talked in weeks

Why are you looking at her

Why does it make my heart shatter and break

Into a thousand pieces

Why can’t I find those pieces

No matter how hard I try

Why do I hate you for doing this

W...

A while ago she broke up with me,

And I don't know why.

Was it because I worked too many night shifts?

Was it because of all my trauma that showed up at night?

Did I drive her away with my anxieties around my finances?

Was it the frequent episodes of newborn wakefulness?

Was it too many nights of bing watching shows in the dead of night?

She never said anything.

It was a slow ghosting.

I noticed...

The one that got away,

Is my care and patience,

My desire to reach foward,

When their hand stays back.

The one that stays away,

Is the feeling of sorrow,

When you are the calm,

And their minimum feels like an attack.

For good, it stays away—

To keep the grey away,

To keep my heart from rotting,

Kissing love in the wrong place.

My time and precious effort,

Is a jewel to be cherished,

So my wishe...

You were always there,

while mom was at work,

while my dad wasn't fair,

while I wouldn't touch a fork.

You were always for me,

while my friends stayed busy,

while my boyfriend "couldn't" be,

while I wasn't fancy.

You were always by my side,

while school was too much,

while they left because I cried,

while you weren't burned in church....

"You told me I was "childish"

Told me i should kms

Trust me I tried

And instead of me... I will kill you..

Yea..... you. Dead goodbye" i say

A sudden change of mindset can change anything and everything

"Oh hey caroline..."

"What is it amy"

We're killing jack" i say hesitantly

"Uhh you sure, or are you gonna go running after him for the 16th time" Caroline giggles as she lights her cigarette ...
