I wrote this last week and finally felt like I was able to put words to all of the anxiety/loneliness/unsettled feelings I’ve been having. It is so crazy how relieving it can be to write those feelings out, searching for the perfect words. Once the words are released I feel released from the pain too.

“I’ll sit here and watch you make the same mistakes I did.

I never meant it to end like this.

Never trust a person who doesn’t know,

who doesn’t know how to be alone.

They will wander from bed to bed,

until they make your head their home.

All I ever wanted for you was to feel content

in your own bones.

Here is a coat of armor,

don’t let anybody in.

Right now love is a game

that you do not want to win.

If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself.

There is always room for more on the heart collector’s shelf.

They will take you,

they will take you away.

When you feel the cold,

and see the fog, you’ll know,

that you are still breathing-

your heart it keeps on beating.

Adjust your eyes to see in the dark,

we are alone in this together.

Alone is not forever.

Adjust your eyes to see in the dark,

we are alone in this together.

Alone is not forever. “
