Oil and Water

Oil and water

never combined

you and I,

we were the same


 

I reacted to your words

and your voice negatively


 

I rested on top of your world

but I was a burden


 

I still stayed

because sometimes

we felt as one

and in those highs

I felt fine


 

we smiled

we were fine


 

those times kept me nearby

but was it really worth it?


 

Oil and water

never combined

you and I,

we were the same

  • She is Disorder

    “Stay away,” they’ll say

    “She doesn’t think right,”

    “She has horrible visions,

    incomprehensible to the mind.”


     

    She is disorder

    She is me

    A single thought blossoms

    into sweet insanity

  • The Monster

    A moment you can’t make

    a feeling you can’t shake

    I am the monster

    they tell you is fake


     

    I am the apathy

    leftover from hate

    I’m what they hate

    that’s what they’ll say


     

  • The glow of the TV

    Do you remember the time

    that you and I

    spent in front of the TV?

    We watched Disney cartoons

    and the world around us

    stopped.


    I remember 

    when nothing else mattered

    and we could just be.
