~Creaks~

Tick tock

were on

the clock

Fake words
Fake apologies
It’s a little

too wrong

a little too late

This house

is too short

with regrets,

even the creaks

aren’t comforting

anymore

you can’t

change me

that’s not love

In the place

where the water

meets the sky,

makes me cry

when it’s quiet,

when the storm

is passed

take my hand,

to understand,

through the haste

and hurry,

nowhere to turn,

life’s standing

still my

souls confused,

I don’t know,

what road

I can choose,

but I’ll see you

again I’ll carry you

That's just the way
the sun must shine
A changed soul
With a

tied tongue

to match it
I have forgotten

Pure sweetness

Drama

Left unsaid

Thank them

for that

More than

just a touch

Of madness

You don’t know

Only the

shadow

Knows

I flew too

close to the sun

Now I’m

the flame

I’m a stranger

In this place

No more trying

For what

Isn’t there

Didn’t know that tears

Could make emotions blue

It’s broken

Stay away

I’m done

Dragging my heart

Around

Maybe there’s

A garden

You haven’t planted

yet
