Mine

I was in love with you
Even while I slept next to another man
I didn’t know until you were gone
But you chose to marry her
And get two dogs and buy a house
And maybe it was fantasy
A snapshot of time when you were mine
Double heartbreak
Broken delusions
I know I didn’t own you, or her.
I get why you both had to walk away
Cause I was the pasture of a different colour green.
We acted like we were old
And married for decades
You were the first one my parents liked
We played with fire and shared secrets and dreams
I thought you were my best friend
And maybe it was fantasy
A snapshot of time when you were mine
Double heartbreak
Broken delusions
I know I didn’t own you, or her.
I get why you both had to walk away
Cause I was the pasture of a different colour green.
And maybe it was fantasy
A snapshot of time when you were mine

Outside the Lines

It's always been more than friends to me
I did not know it til now
And I hope you can feel it
I know you can feel it too
We’re moving outside the confines of stories and norms
Like ink running outside the lines I cant contain it
And I don’t want to
It’s you and me
Against the world
tell me you feel it too
while you don’t say it
I’m hanging by a thread
My life makes sense with you
I’m near you and I want to touch you
it does feel intense to me
And I hope you can feel it
I know you can feel it too
Maybe it’s scary when I say this, because of the stories and norms
We are paints in all the colours unrestrained
I can’t define me and you
This early stage fretting
Has become an obsession
I’m anxiously attached
While we sort this out
It’s you and me
Against the world
tell me you feel it too
while you don’t say it
I’m hanging by a thread
My life makes sense with you.

The End

How do I feel
How do I be
Now that I’m not with you
I was so sure I was done
But now sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe
I can’t do this without you
My eyes and world
Were opened wide
All my colours shine so much more
I’ve never felt this much me, than the me
That we created together
Is this the end?
This feels like a break up
With my mother or father
But you aren’t my parent or partner
And my soul aches for you all the same
I said no to
one thing
And now its the end of it all
Will you say hi when you see me?
Or do we pretend that nothing ever happened?
Is this the end?
This feels like a break up
With my mother or father
But you aren’t my parent or partner
And my soul aches for you all the same
The weight in my chest
Grief like a tidal wave
I’m congested
This pain is
Oh so real
Full blown anxiety
All my insecurities
Is this the end?
This feels like a break up
With my mother or father
But you aren’t my parent or partner
And my soul aches for you all the same
