Playlist

A ton of songs -

Over fifty -

I love them all,

But fade so quickly.

My interest dies

By the tenth repetition,

And so I move on

To a cooler mission.

This beat, this soundtrack

On a loop.

This singer, songwriter

Musical group.

My obsessions may be short

But they're intense and they burn;

My playlist of celeb crushes,

Everyone takes a turn.

First AJR,

And then Maroon 5.

So many others

After my love for them dies.

I listen on repeat

Completely mesmerized

By this sound and this rhythm,

But no new surprises.

Next I move on

And start to explore -

How much do I love this artist,

Do I want to hear more?

It's definitely a roller coaster

My constantly-shifting taste in music

But they're my absolute favorite

That is, until I lose it.

    I have people who will hold me 

    Love me

    Splash me in sparkles and giggles and emails

    And I have people who will hurt me

    Never really laughing

    Never really there

  • Take me away

    Just take me away from here

    Whisper stories of starlight and fire

    Water scrambling over rocks

    Iron in my eyes

    Just take me away from here

    To a fantasyland where it's us

    Just us

    You

    Don't get it

    Don't get me

    Where did the magic go?

    I literally do have to be the best

    You can't see outside your own opinions

    And I'm a hypocrite

    Following a faulty compass but
