  • Love So Grave

    I will never look at love the sameAfter the way you dropped my heartFifteen feet down a well like it was spare changeNot even worth a wish or prayer Lying here with drops of rain pouring downMy face, competing with the tearsThat fill the traces of regret embedded on my skinHeartbreak aging the soul into


  • Shades of Blue

    In another timeLeaves were greyFlowers a muted shade of redThe ocean deep blackCalling to meEvery sunset was broken glass I’ll paint a picture for youShow you just how much I love youEmpty space when you turn my canvasBut my blood stains every paintbrush It seems the world is black and whiteAnd color only comes when


  • I Hope You’re Happier Now

  • Worthy

    I’ve fallen and fallenToo far and too fastI’ve given and givenToo much to last Jumped at every chanceTo make you love meBecause who am I reallyIf nobody needs me?
