When my mom brought me into this world,
She released me into the stream,
And under her guidence it was simply a dream.
She warned me not to go too far,
“Come back this instant”.
But of course, I didn’t listen,
And from the shore I swam more distant.
The tides and currents grabed me tight
Same as wind takes to a kite.
Time passed as I went on drifting.
Sadly, There was no one there to be uplifting.
I grew into a constant panic
Tossing and turning in all frantics.
No one had taught me what to do,
And knowing that, my fear only grew.

However, one day, you pulled me up onto your boat,
Dried me out, and warmed me up in your sweet smelling coat,
You were my teacher,
And I followed your each and every feature.
I became more like you every day,
Until there was no more leeway.
And when you saw I was as your past self,
You dropped me right back into the roaring sea shelf.
But this time it was different,
I knew what to do,
For now, I was like you.

On my own,
I corrected your flaws
And swam my distance.
Then came time for a climb up the rugged sea wall.
Successfully, again I was on land.
And now alone I have a plan,
To keep up with my life.
Now a better version of you,
I will give somebody the happiness you addressed.
But this time, no hearts will break,
Because no emotions will be fake.

What are the rules to a perfect relationship?
Does it always lead to marriage
And a baby carriage?

All I’ve ever asked for is some connection
Some little sense of affection
Take me for a ride,
Show me how you feel,
Let’s burn a little rubber off these wheels

Let’s fill these tanks with gas
And just go nuts in this tall grass
Seculded from everyone else
We’ll let our emotions run on every pulse

What if this lead to something more?
Something intimate and a little more legitimate
Where is our rule book to follow?

Is this just a combination of two households?
Does everything go in yours,
Or your stuff all in mine,
Or are we looking for something of a different kind?

We shouldn’t have a limit on the changes we face
It’s better just to carry on at an even pace
So you come find me first
Just to simply quench my thirst
And then we can go on and explore
To see if this could be something more

I guess I’ll stick to writing like this for now on
As you go and dance to your little song
I would ask you to save me from this frown
But that is no longer the case
Because a smile is what I carry on this face

Straight up and sincere
An emotional wreak I am right here
But I’ve become good at hiding these scars
So I do you the favor of not showing the world who you really are

These emotions and statements I’ve held in for a while
However it’s not because I’m in denial
But because every memory we shared is still on file

So every day I wake up wondering what you’re doing
And I figure that you’re thinking how I’m the one you’re fooling
While you’re having a whole lotta fun
Because you think that you’ve won
But I’ll tell you girl, this ain’t done

I’m gonna tell you right now that this isn’t even the fun part
Yeah, I know that I’ve loved you from the very start
Simply because you were a work of art
But your color’s been fading
And your rays of emotion rather degrading

A little while ago, I would have asked you to visit an art galery with me
But now alone, you’ll be the only sad painting I see

For on my face,
I bare a smile:
Something you haven’t seen in a while
But that is only because
Of all the heartbreak you caused

But as soon as that doctor comes through the door
Will open my life of new glor

Into my chest he will cut,
Removing every small leftover chip of love,
So that you are no long what I’ll be thinking of

After you can be happy because you’ll get what you’ve been wanting
And in your thoughts I can begin my life of haunting
