Expectations
hijacking the flow
of healthy relations
that go where they go
a fantasy future
based on the past
expecting the now
to freeze so it lasts
expectations
cast them to the sea
allow the waves
to break and be free
CONNECTION
It's hard to warm up, at times
when your closest connection
seems light years away
from your love and protection
the days feel longer
the nights not as bright
intentions connected
by a cold satellite
connecting the dots
all day and all night
it's not that hearts
are changed by space
it's that hearts feel warmer
when in the same place
DISTANCE
Distance is like math
it subtracts time together
from the future's past
multiplying feelings
of longing and fear
dividing the comforts
of being near
moments together
now few and far between
less and less
it seems
distance is like a sentence
a prison in your mind
locking up potential
by stealing together's time
RECORD
It's like there's a record
playing in my head
remembering moments
and things that were said
a heart makes decisions
foolish and free
obscuring truths
by remembering to bleed
it's like there's a movie
playing in my heart
reminding my head
that life is like art
a head makes decisions
safe and wise
obscuring truths
by forgetting to cry
BRAINWASHED
Destined to rise
destined to fall
brainwashed by habits
that hide behind walls
believe all beginnings
are destined to end
brainwashed by theories
that break
when they bend
destined to rise
destined to fall
brainwashed by fear
that builds up fake walls
