Who can be like my Caramel Creme Brûlée you say

Well she ain't no longer a mystery today

And as far as answering these questions, no one can I'll say

And I definitely got more to say

But that'll be all for today

They say no pain no gain

and what makes it worse

the emotions that can’t be tamed

Things get said no remorse

Where’s my happiness and it’s source

What‘s one to do with no resource

All this battling life gots me sore

and my heart torn

Mistakes from the past

how long will the consequences last

Can anyone escape their past

I’m just looking to make my last laugh

I can't keep doing this.

I can't keep lying to myself

I can't keep pretending to like you

I can't,

because love,

love doesn't feel

like t h i s.

anyone can love her

anyone can sweep her off her feet

be the minority…

gather her constellation of stars from the heavens

stick them onto the ceiling of her bedroom

at night when she slumbers,

the glow of her stars awakens

and she’s closer to home

then she’ll ever be.

something in between

my stomach

and my head

a burning in my throat

a smile on my lips

tears in my eyes

memories to the touch

my limbs feel heavy

and I float

away

You blow in the wind -

an invisible wisp -

I see you

I feel you

I taste you

skittering ahead.

Reaching for you

my fingers

plunge through

ethereal film.

My illusions

are not

just castles

in the air,

for you

will always be

cradled

within my heart.

the heart wants what it wants,

what a demisable phrase

such vivid truth,

there is no such thing as mind over matter

love blocks out good judgement,

conflicting choices encompassed by impulse

i look sadness in the face and i dive head first

but i don’t know how to swim

i give in for the happiness,

but it’s only temporary

it’s always temporary

even the good things crash and burn in the end

i haven’t learned how to let go,

so the feelings linger and resurface

i know that you’re bad for me,

but my heart aches to sleep next to you

i long to hear your laugh,

i would die to be yours again

we’ve been apart almost as long as we were together, why does my heart still belong to you?

maybe i let myself get too attached?

maybe it was the fact that you were able to lift my heart out of the bottomless pit it had fallen into

maybe it was the way your eyes lit up when you looked at me?

no one had ever looked at me like that before

maybe it was your dimples,

the most beautiful smile i have ever seen

it kills me that it’s over,

and i know that there’s no hope for us anymore

i’m so in love with you,

it’s everything about you

i miss you,

i miss us

i’ve tried moving on,

but nobody compares to you

i don’t know how not to love you

and the problem isn’t that i’m alone,

or maybe it is

i lost my myself when i lost you,

and i don’t know how to find myself again
