Napkins

Someone new is trying to hold me,

it's so foreign,

they are trying to take your place it seems,

but I think that's exactly what I need,

to look beyond this misery.

 

I feel confused,

am I happy?

Am I sad?

All I wanted was to become your family.

 

It seems that won't happen,

I clean up my spilled mess of emotions with napkins,

but they leak through,

Now I'm forced to paint this default smile back on again.

  • Am I his?

    He says he's mine,

    but am I really his?

     

    Should I push these feelings aside and let him in?

    Is their some kind of line that decides if I'm his?

     

    Is this right?

    do we really fit?

  • Pieces of me

    I fall in love with people,

    leaving pieces of me behind.

     

    Belonging to a heart that's rightfully mine,

    but it doesn't matter because they can give them back and they still won't fit back inside.

     

  • Left of me

    I take the pain you left me with,

    and make it into art.

     

    The only thing left of me,

    is this ugly scar.

     

    I've put a noose around my heart,

    It's trying to restart,
