Yesterday.

Yesterday i woke to find my thoughts were jumping through space
I was swimming through clouds and the rain had made me late.

Yesterday i woke to find my dreams were running out of town,
I was skipping after you and the pavements had let me down.

Yesterday i woke to find my heart was beating in rhyme
The roads that would lead me to you were long and somewhat intertwined.

Yesterday i woke to find my tears stung like angry bees,
The love i’d always held for you was disappearing through the trees.

Fixed With Glue.

Broken hearts can be fixed with glue
So we stayed up until at least 2
I stuck my hand to my heart
In the hope this would be a new start

We sang together, we danced a bit too
We made light of the fact we felt blue
I baked us a lemon tart
I almost felt a beat inside my heart

I walked away, i even skipped
It was that night i stopped being so tight lipped
Broken hearts can be fixed with glue
You made me feel maybe it was true.

It Will Not Stop, Forget Me Not.

I was always trying to catch the stars before they fell
Always reaching to touch the prize
And left with nothing but scars with a story to tell

It was hard to breathe when the world came down
All i wanted was one more afternoon
Just an hour to see you one last time,
Time to tell you i’d see you soon

I was always trying to catch the stars before they fell
Always reaching to touch the prize
And left with nothing but scars with a story to tell

And it’s on these days when i wish it the most
The days when all i see is your ghost
The clock moves on, the calendar changes
I’m stuck here, so many strange faces

There’s a tear i cry sometimes, somedays
When i remember your face and how life changes
I’ve grown an inch since we met
And held the memories with the necklace i kept

I was always trying to catch the stars before they fell
Always reaching to touch the prize
It’s days like this when i wish it was all lies
But it will not stop

Forget me not.

The Wrong Day.

Broke at noon,
Thought maybe they’d say:
‘That’s ok’
Instead, deathly stares and silent shadows,
Maybe i picked the wrong day -
The wrong day to break away,
The wrong hour to fall.

The World Can Be Too Much

You said it was all too much
Could no longer stand
It was hard to speak
When all of your world
Collapsed into grey
You were frozen by my delicate touch
Your shadows that burnt
You can no longer see
You no longer know how it is to feel
When you wake and your world
Doesn’t quite seem real
And the times that we kissed
Can’t make you heal
It wasn’t enough to be who you need
Fooled by everything,
Society’s greed
It brought you down,
A careless, chilling touch,
And now we see,
The world can be too much.

Maybe I Wish I Was Human.

Maybe i held your head too loosely
Maybe i should’ve been firm
Let my palms touch your skin
Maybe i should’ve whispered in your ear
Instead of just letting my face brush past your hair
Maybe i should’ve looked that little longer
Let you absorb the sky in my eyes
Watched as you realised
I’m not really real
The ways in which you’d define me
Aren’t really concrete
Maybe i wish i was human
Maybe i wish i could speak and feel
Take your hand and lead you to the sky
Show you my world
Help my wounds heal
Maybe i wish i could hold you forever
Til the end of the world brings us together.

The Featherless Bird.

The time will come
When my feathers will fall,
I am scared for this day
When i stand and can no longer see,
It haunts me as i grow
For each day i’m awake i count my feathers
- One by one -
And i’m bullied for my worry,
I’m bullied for my concern -
That one day,
I’ll wake to find
A featherless body
When i will no longer be a bird.
