Maybe

When I am no longer 
The same as I once was 
And you have equally changed 

All these memories and moments 
That I once believed 
Would last 
Forever 
Will disappear into the world 
Like sand washing into the sea 

And if I tried to capture them 
I would wish they felt 
The same as they did in that moment 

And I wish
I had never made that choice
Because maybe I would be different 
Or you would have stayed the same

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician 

  • Limelight

    I stood in the crowd 
    My feet cemented to the ground 
    Just basking in the light of something that would slowly fade 

    I could hear the high pitched ringing 
    A reminder of a past days sacrifice
