Haven


You tell me everyone leaves
And you don't believe
I will be the exception

I try to hold on tight
But you slip through
As the morning and I
Begin to break

Fight

You've never pushed me around
I've never felt the sting of a slap

But as fists flew from your mouth
They cut and bruised more
Than any punch thrown could

We stood in shocked silence
Startled in the aftermath

After You

I stand over your grave
The sky is dark blue
And I would like to
Lie down beside you
Won't you let me
Curl up and die too?

Room #710B

Empty rooms all around
Running down the hall
Could someone help me, please?
I'm looking for Room #710B
Hoping he might be there to smile at me

The Sea

 You wouldn't find a happier me
If Heaven was like the sea

Salvation



You tell me everything will be alright
I don't believe you anymore

Bitterness crawls through my veins
As you tell me to have faith
Believe in God's grace

My faith was buried
Six feet deep

On a Wednesday in September
I laid it down beside him
And watched with apathy
As dirt swallowed both of them silently

Boy At A Wedding

I met a boy at a wedding
We danced the night away
Under white lights and paper planes

People surrounded us with smiles
His brown eyes were warm
When he bent down to kiss me

I met a boy at a wedding
We spun in circles
Our laughter spilling out

And I felt as though
I had fallen into
A secret fairytale

I met a boy at a wedding
We danced the night away
Under white lights and paper planes
