Trap

How can I get out of here?

I’ve fallen into a trap and didn’t realize it

I was lost by the glitz and the charms

Played by the thought of glamour and attention

Played by you and the promises grand

Trapped by you and there seems no escape

Astray

you said goodbye one day

i choked up with something to say

i thought that we were okay

turns out, you’ve gone astray

To Be Continued

I fell in love with you but you didn’t

So that was an opportunity we both lost.

You fell in love with someone,

I got hurt and bruised.

Eventually I moved on and so did you,

But you broke that person’s heart because you found someone new.

Soon after your new love moved on without you

And we lost touch,

I didn’t dare ask how you have been doing

For fear you might think I’m still hoping for so much.

Our paths once crossed but it seems it will never again

You and I, we try to avoid each other it seems.

Our story ends here

Or it may be a to be continued when we’re different people in a different life.

A Phase

He was just a phase.

Much like the moon with its different phases

He came and stayed on my sky for a bit

Enough to inspire

Enough for me to want and fall in love with.

And like the moon

He disappeared one day

And slowly too did my desire for him.

He was just a phase

A lesson I had to learn the hard way

But a lesson learned, nonetheless.

Heartless

Heart once was full, now there is none.

Heart once was gold, now it’s all gone.

Heart that was neat, now all a giant mess.

Heart that had more, now is feeling less and less

Cruel

The world is cruel sometimes

For here I am loving you

Yet there you are, loving her

Cold Coffee

My coffee has gone cold waiting for me.

In this cold morning, my coffee is colder still.

Much like your cold heart

Who left me lying on the cold floor

With my heart held in my cold hands.

And yet, I still drink my bitter cold coffee

As I toast the cold morning air

Remembering that from your coldness

I learned to embrace the warmth of my own sunshine.

Replacement

She swept you away like a tide

Swallowed you whole

You held your breath for her

Because for you,

She was worth it.

.

She was the most stunning rainbow you’ve ever seen

The loveliest rose in the garden.

But you broke her too

Replaced her with someone new

Kind of like how you replaced me…

…with her.

The Hummingbird Came

A humming bird came knocking

Asking if it can bring anything for me

I whispered to it and said

Bring me love

Bring me joy

Bring me smile

Bring me back my heart

The one stolen by you.

Bad Company

He made my heart skip a bit

But he also made me feel insecure

I was throwing myself at his feet

But still I was nothing more
