If I could

(Inspired by Astronomy by Conan Gray) 

I'd walk you out if I could 

Open and close the door ever so gently 

Hold your hand as we slowly say goodbye 

Maybe give you a kiss right before you must drive away 

And we'd talk about how one day, you'll surely stay 

But I know I can't. 

I can't hold your hand and walk you out and kiss you one more time

I can't say goodbye slowly, savouring every last feeling I can get from you 

Not even a last sip of the sweetness you gave me 

I'll kick you out just so you don't run away 

Throw you out before you can go bad 

 But I wish I didn't have to 

I wish I didn't know what was coming next 

I wish I didn't have to avoid it 

I wish I didn't have to let you go.

Yet here I stand, helplessly still as you run from the life we took away

Wishing, hoping, begging you meant it when you said "one day I'll stay"

  • Hair

    Your hair was always beautiful,

    Long and luciousous,

    Everyone always loved it. 

    But then you cut it off. 

    Long strands fly away to the floor,

    While you're in the bathroom, 

    Closed door. 

  • A Girl I Never Knew

    To the girl I never really knew,

    I cried the other night about you

    Probably just half what you went through 

    I never thought to care 

    About your lips your eyes your stare

    The pain you held, I had no clue
