Empty

Time keeps slipping though my hands

Trying to hold on to each grain of sand

It never occurred to me I could let go

Can't see the world from this window

Why am I wondering what is real?

So far from what seemed ideal

Laugh it off and scrape my plate

I'm far from winning if this is a debate

And all I wanted was someone to hold

Eyes to look into as we grow old

Time

 Is there a time and a place

A soul and a face

Every thought you could've dreamt

Memories and remnants

When you're all alone in your world

All the colors dripped and swirled

Is there happiness or an empty space

Did you find your image displaced

If laughter echos through  tomorrow

Ill make the best of the time I borrow.

Loud

 Lost in the despair all around me

Cant escape the doors keep closing

Searching all the eyes in the room

Layer by layer I'm decomposing

Why are my thoughts so loud?

There's never a soul around

Emptiness resonating

The silence seems too profound

In the middle of the in between

What's lost is all I'm finding

Clinched fists I keep walking

Smiling as my teeth are grinding

If all I ever find in this moment

simple acceptance of what's broken

Maybe I can fill this barrenness

With all the words I left unspoken 

Too Late?

 I've always wondered how 

You thought you knew me so well

Maybe I'm lost; soul vacated

Walking around in my empty shell

All the words locked inside my head

Told myself it was best to wait

Tangled in this emotional rope

Didn't mean to asphyxiate 

Why did so much time have to pass

I planned to say I just never knew

Another broken being found out too late

I'll use my last breath to confess to you

Drive-by

 You made a cameo in my dream last night 

I swear to God it felt so real

For a second, I got all caught up

Told my heart you cannot have the wheel

Life continues to move on

I've reminded myself I should too

Just when I think I'm pulling through

I'm back to lost without you

It's ironic I watched you drive by my house

Was it everything you thought you'd see

Letting go hasn't been easy

I'm pretty sure you would agree.
