LOL

11/6/2015

Comments

 
​I want to confess how I really feel
Without adding an LOL
if you get me then you get me
But most people just won’t understand
My Cast Away is a crowded room
I hope this party ends sooner than later
I can’t breath in this fucking shirt
This small talk is too big for me to even comprehend
I write in metaphors because I’m afraid to reveal what I really mean
I told a couple people what makes my heart truly tick
They must have lost my number
Because they never called me back
It’s funny how the people who know the most about me
Are the same ones who never hit me up
I guess I told them just a little too much
I need to quiet my heart
I need to learn how to answer questions
With a simple “I’m fine, how are you?
Instead of answering with a little too much truth
That’s not what they really want
We’ve all got problems, hold them close
Don’t let anybody know that you are anything but fine
LOL

Beautiful Things

11/5/2015

My eyes have seen a lot of beautiful things
Like Chicago snowfall in the middle of Spring
I’ve seen the New York skyline light up the sky
And the Milky Way light up the African night
I’ve ran with bulls down a Spaniard road
And seen Molotov Cocktails fly through the Athens air and explode
I’ve climbed atop the Eiffel Tower
Been mesmerized by the Cliffs of Moher for hours and hours
I've floated down the French Riviera 
And stood where Paul stood as he paved the path for the Christian era
I’ve guided a gondola down the Venice canals
And driven through a safari with African’s most dangerous animals
I’ve been around the world once or twice
But nothing compares to the feeling I get when I look in your eyes
Nothing compares to the touch of your hand upon mine
And if my memory was to decline
I pray to the lord above, if I can keep one memory
That it be you, everything else can fade away
