Freedom
Only when awake
Do you stare at me like people stare
At walls: heartless and nonchalant. In
A way I guess I deserve that look from
You because all I ever did was
Support you without ever asking to be
Anything more than close to you.
All I’ve ever wanted was you or to
Stop feeling for you completely. It’s
Your fault that your name became synonymous
With love for me. You’ll always be the one
But I want to be free.
Shine
Even if we don’t shine forever,
Shine so brightly,
That no matter how briefly,
Your life is seen.
Home
They say that love
Is where the heart is.
But who ever said that home
Needs to be a place?
