I’m dust on the couch

Melt my body down

Wrap me up in formlessness

Give me dissolution

Crushed into the crowd

I’m a spilled drink at your feet

I’m the supermarket ghost

My body an unwilling host

Gold panning for meaning

My dream catcher’s full of nightmares

I can’t even feel my body

Just buy me some time please

Leave me to dissolve

I don’t want to be alone

But I can’t hold together

Leave me to dissolve

There go all my thoughts

Spinning down the sink

——

I was asleep last time you dialed my phone

I thought I told you to leave me alone

Cause you'll tell me you're curious

Or promise that your serious

But tomorrow you won't pick up your phone

So you can't call me

In the middle of the night

Cause when you hold me

It feels so right

And I know you don't feel the same

Cause I saw you out with what's his name

So you can't call me

In the middle of the night

Despite the bright red warning signs

I drive to be by your side

You'll kiss me and let me in

Say you want to be more than friends

But tomorrow you won't pick up your phone

So you can't call me

In the middle of the night

Cause when you hold me

It just feels so right

And I know you don't feel the same

Cause I heard you sobbing, calling out his name

So you can't call me

In the middle of the night

I just found a farewell to the dsmp song I wrote in my notes ages ago. Idk if I should leave it in my song graveyard or finish and post it... I think some of the lines have potential but it's very clearly a dsmp song. Thoughts?

#dsmp #dream smp #song writing #its really simple and wouldnt take me long to finish

i call this one, ‘time just passes’

(for everyone who will actually read this, ily <3)

338 words

time won’t heel, like an untrained dog

with a blood covered tongue, and a bird it has caught

time won’t heal, like a wound that will fester

with a shake, and a fever, sick to your centre

broken bones and second chances

broken hearts and second glances

they say ‘time will heal’, but time just passes

‘time will heal’ but time just passes

time won’t forgive, like a trust that‘s been severed

beat yourself up if it makes you feel better, time is that stone you should weather

time won’t forget, like a wound that will scar

pack up your thoughts and your life, it’s time to be a star

broken bones and second chances

broken hearts and second glances

they say ‘time will heal’, but time just passes

‘time will heal’ but time just passes

breaking promises and a second for your thoughts

breaking consciences and a second to reinforce

that time will heal but time just passes

time will heal but time just passes

oh i bet you know, you got me good

it couldn’t have been anyone but you

‘cause you were reading me upside down

you made it your goal to know me inside out

(time just passes)

oh did you know me in some other life?

you’ve known me better than i’ve known myself this time

(just passes)

all i’m left to know is time won’t heal

but time still passes/(broken bones and second chances)

time won’t heal, but time still passes/(broken hearts and second glances)

they say time will heal, but time just passes/they say time will heal, but time just passes

time won’t heal (time will heal)

time just passes (time just passes)

time won’t heal, time just passes

I remember as a kid I would write songs, poems, to get my mind of such & I think that’s so wholesome. I should go back to writing silly songs for the enjoyment aspect of it.

Plus now I can really draw from personal experience of much more than back then

i want to draw but i want to write but i should play guitar but then again maybe i should develop what to write but i should also write a song and i also want to go back to bed and i think maybe i should finish that thing i need to finish but i need to finish my conversation first and i wonder if i'll still have time for cleaning and laundry and redecorating and rearranging and maybe i should make a cup of tea and have a little treat after and oh that reminds me i want to draw

How do people write such incredible, amazing, heartbreaking, mind-blowing songs that make you cry and laugh and dance and get severely emotionally invested in characters that show up randomly with no proper introduction?

How? I want some of that magic please, even the most sparing sprinkling of dust will do.

since my poetry seems to be getting a fair bit of love, here’s a poem i wrote called ‘kept at bay’

only want me at arms reach

i’ll haunt your window seat

i don’t exist, at that beach

ghost the shoreline, i repeat

i don’t exist, at that beach

freckled skin, summer heat

you can hate me if you want to

burn the letters, burn the world

you can hold me if you want to

tell me sweet things, count me sold

you can hate me if you want to

burn the letters, burn my soul

you can hold me if you want to

tell me stories, make me whole

am i a pretty liar?

jealousy is never fun

am i a pretty crier?

honesty on a bitter tongue

am i a pretty liar?

see through, i’m done

am i a pretty crier?

head on your shoulder, you feel like the sun

only want me at arms reach

i’ll haunt your backyard swing

i don’t exist, at that beach

ghost the shoreline, and repeat

i don’t exist, at that beach

seasalt curls, seaside streets

you can have me if you want to

hold the letters, hold the world

you can keep me if you want to

give me soft wings, watch me unfold

you can have me if you want to

hold the letters, hold my soul

you can keep me if you want to

on your knees, try to console

it’s about those people who treat you like the whole world when you’re alone, but as soon as your dynamic can be perceived by others, it’s as if you don’t exist.

about how all the affection you’ve ever gave feels like a waste, because you’re not being acknowledged properly.

about how it feels to watch someone you love so dearly escape your presence by turning to someone else, because it’s too much to be the versions of ourselves that we only show each other when we’re alone.

#i wrote this at a very complicated point of my life #i’m quite proud of the parallels though i must admit #poetry #poems #writing #acceptance #angst #song writing #lyricism
