I never knew what could grow from an astonishing place
Given the proper time and unfamiliar face
my life would turn around
and I would be just fine
despite the way we were found
I’m feeling safe and sound
I never know what it holds
The mysteries that unfold
Much like a fortune cookie
I’m waiting what to be told
I still remember the words
As though a warning or sign
Perhaps divine intervention?
I’m feelin strangely inclined…
To make it into the next day
Where maybe I’ll see you again
Finding solace when you’re next to me
We’re getting caught up in the sun
We need a break from the rest
So go on ahead, we’re both guest in our company
And if we know this then we can see it through
Because it matters that it’s just me and you
A break from the rest
Let’s go on ahead
we’re both guests in our company

I should have tried
I didn’t put up the fight I wanted to
Cuz I just knew
that one day you’d part
I know it got hard
the burdens you were carrying too
a courage for two
you’d spoken your truth
I had to hear those words from you
Scar tissue on the heart
It’ll never be your fault
All I’m worth is ever a call
Say, “i dont love you”
it hurts to hear you say
but it has to be this way
tell me “i dont love you”
so long as its true
you go do the things that you have to do
all i’ve got is hope
whatever it holds
I keep it with me safe and close
if i’m wasting my time
thats for me to decide
i promise that i’ll be just fine
Cuz i made an oath
despite what im told
i’ll sing for you the stories of old
if im wasting my time
that mine to decide
i promised not to cross your lines
cuz i’ll still love you
the same way that i do
i just gotta make it through
i’ll always love you
and no you dont have to
jsut do what you’ve always had to do

the constellations stand as surest signs
to lay it down and trust that they are right
the brightest that i think i’ve seen them shine
there’s something bigger for us heading down the line
& im terrified
we embrace
what may change
brave our face
for the next place
the best of company at such great heights
unattended trekking down the mountainside
& when you think of me im eating righht
im getting rest. im sleeping through the nighht.
throughh the nighht
we embrace
what may change
brave our face
for the next place
through the nighht
terrified
you are my guide
you lighht

you should be fast asleep
inside your cozy keep
hold onto all that you seek
hiding away in the leaves
a rock that forever rotates
spinning throughout the days
no one need speculate
prove that you’re worth the wait
softest thorns
you will grow
on your own
self adorn
carved in stone
stitched when torn
lo and behold
the sun upholds

my last note

I keep my favorite note
i love this one the most
the one that you had wrote
where you said you’d wait forever
im still glad we talk
its better than when not
even if not a lot
keep it honest to a fault
i wont throw it away
i know we’ll both be okay
althoughh we have been frayed
i hope i get another chance someday
tear this empty throne
reap what i have sown
still i must atone
i promised you forever
hell can have my soul
break all my bones
take the pain you’ve known
if that meant you got better
death & i lie in wait
so long as i know you’re okay
i miss you every god damn day
i hope i get another chance someday
