What You Leave the Porch Light For
What You Leave the Porch Light For
You long to return to a love you’ve never had.
A love that sits and wraps its arms around you—
Like a weighted blanket in the middle of the night.
The kind that seeps into a Sunday,
When the sun hits your shared coffee mugs just right.
The grocery run where his hand grazes yours,
And your heart skips like it’s never been touched that gently before.
The kind that leaves echoes.
So here you are, chasing echoes—
Echoes that your soul remembers but you do...
You long to return to a love you’ve never had.
A love that sits and wraps its arms around you—
Like a weighted blanket in the middle of the night.
The kind that seeps into a Sunday,
When the sun hits your shared coffee mugs just right.
The grocery run where his hand grazes yours,
And your heart skips like it’s never been touched that gently before.
The kind that leaves echoes.
So here you are, chasing echoes—
Echoes that your soul remembers but you do...

ricochet
You tell me I live for the misery
I'm so addicted to suffering
I don't want to taste happiness
on my tongue
and revel in the glory of it
I faced my demons
reached for the safety
of your hand
but you told me
I need to walk alone
I faced my demons
and my demons won
In the aftermath
you gift me empty words
tell me my happiness
is your top priority
like I was the only one
standing between me
and the things I asked for
So I let these lies ricochet
carbon...
I'm so addicted to suffering

and my demons won

tell me my happiness

Seriously
Did you ever think
I will ever come back
Did you once contemplate
Our lives will ever be back on track
We have moved on my dear
Not from love we have had or the lack
Of trying, but from the time
Time we drifted apart or didn’t comeback
Did you ever think
I will ever beg again
Did you once remind yourself
Of the sorrow caused and the pain
I will never go back to that life
Now that I recall the misery and the chain
I locked myself inside a cell
I have been trying...
I will ever come back
Did you once contemplate
Our lives will ever be back on track
We have moved on my dear
Not from love we have had or the lack
Of trying, but from the time
Time we drifted apart or didn’t comeback
Did you ever think
I will ever beg again
Did you once remind yourself
Of the sorrow caused and the pain
I will never go back to that life
Now that I recall the misery and the chain
I locked myself inside a cell
I have been trying...

My Crush
In my mind, I am too
old to be having crushes,
It takes Just one thought
of you, and my Soul just gushes,
I can't shake the feeling my heart
Just rushes,
I can't hold in my Emotions and
My face just blushes,
I get real nervous when
you come around,
the butterflies in my stomach
don't want to settle down,
I keep my composure
trying to be cool,
Just one false move will
have me looking like a fool,
I can't help myself, but
What can I say???
I won't pay him no mind
I'll just look the other way,...
old to be having crushes,
It takes Just one thought

you come around,
the butterflies in my stomach
don't want to settle down,
I keep my composure
trying to be cool,
Just one false move will
have me looking like a fool,

I won't pay him no mind

Infected
You always make me feel like I’m dead inside.
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell

to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.

I got baggage...
don't even pretend you don't
I'm not buying it
so don't try to go there
you know you do
it's not even a question
but this is...
how compatible is it with mine
is your dominant strong enough
...to counter my submissive
your structure firm enough
...to withstand my chaos
are you bold enough
...to encourage my timidity
is your patience up to the task
...of calming my uncertainty
do our interests coincide
we're not meant to be duplicates
but can we share
& enjoy each other's minds ...

Never let me breathe
My mind is lost
I'm out of place
dont know the cost
I have to face
I've seen it all
there's not much to see
I tend to fall
when you look down on me
I cant sit around here anymore
cause you wont listen to me
I wont stand around here anymore
cause you never let me breathe
(Chorus)
I come down here
just to watch you crawl
I make your fear
stronger than you are
One day you'll realize
just how far you can get
without me in your life
saying how far you will get
...
I'm out of place

Battleship
You cant pretend that you didnt drag me down
And now you must realize that I havent been around
to witness your mistakes or your biggest fall
and to see the look on your face as you called
for my help but I was nowhere to be found
and I guess you were stuck there lying on the ground
When you feel the pressure rising up
Take a step back just in case you slip
You've let me crawl through your fingertips
just as my fire sunk your battleship
(Chorus)
Now that I dont think of you at all, I'm fine
My thoughts are all the same...
And now you must realize that I havent been around

Tantalizing
Softly moving
Summer's breeze
Blowing through my crown
Skipping lightly over my skin
My body shudders
As the hairs on my body
Are electrified by a chill
That sneaked up on me.
I look around
I cannot see anyone
So I continue sauntering
Down the lane.
My lover comes to mind
For a moment...
I become lost in the thoughts
Of our affair
Of our non-affair, affair
Of how close we were
Of losing myself within
Of the pain and suffering
When a love affair becomes extinct.
I...

farewelling to someone is never done with a smile
call it love
or something else,
my relationship
with you
was the strongest,
it was complete,,, yes
but without you???
it's incomplete,
you never tied it
but i never let go of it
now
suddenly you left me
N n i don't understand
..... my heart is breaking
nd i wonder why my eyes
aren't participating
in this phase...
or something else,
my relationship
with you

it's incomplete,

but i never let go of it
now
suddenly you left me
N n i don't understand

Banana
He’s always buying me bananas,
always talking about how
I need to eat the bananas.
He always buys too many bananas.
I’ll eat a banana to make him happy.
But then he’ll walk around,
holding up the hand of bananas,
looking for the vanilla wafers
and banana pudding.
Always driving me nuts
with wanting to do something
with the banana.
always talking about how
I need to eat the bananas.
He always buys too many bananas.
I’ll eat a banana to make him happy.
But then he’ll walk around,
holding up the hand of bananas,
looking for the vanilla wafers
and banana pudding.
Always driving me nuts
with wanting to do something
with the banana.
