Everything was lavender
now I never felt more alone
Than in that crowded room
Sitting on the hill of a blue house
running my hands through the grass
cars passing me now
You think I am wise
but it’s just a trick I play
places where burns left
wrinkled skin in their place
Don’t peel it back
It’s too smooth underneath
everything will be clear
but I’m not ready to see
Sitting on the hill of a blue house
running my hands through the grass
cars passing me now
And everything
was lavender

I have unlearned now how to speak
Noise falling flat and heavy
As I try to convey something
Even the end will escape me
This window pane is thick and white
I have looked at it for days
This summer begins the same last did
No movement and no one will ever change change
oh to be forever stuck
In my own doubt
And the worry I will never be who
I think that I have lied and
Told everyone I was already
And if I’m being honest
Everyone is always changing
And I seem to be the only one
Who isn’t moving
Why is it so hard for me
When everyone else seems
To leave so easily
And I am still here
I will always live in
This cycle of fear
Destined to repeat and forget
What got me here
But everything is so familiar

to be known

Everything is bland
and disappointing
and I am only ever settling
I am coming to terms
that I’ll never buy a wedding dress
that I will never die
and there is never an end to this
Everything only passes
while I stay sitting alone
waiting for better days
but I don’t know how
to not get attached
to any good that comes to me before it leaves
I will try to go numb
enter into a dream state
sliding through these endless days
I am coming to terms
that I’ll never buy a wedding dress
that I will never be loved
in a way I can trust
So far all I know
is that nothing is free
and if you are kind
then I will owe you something
so please do not touch me
I don’t want to be known
and I will only ever feel safe
if I am alone

I wash the dishes with water too hot
I burn my hands
lately all that’s been is passive neglect
and I haven’t learned how yet
to make it hurt less
when I Am receding
And with lips bleeding I will push you from my life
Oh I will try
Oh I will try
With so little time it’s hard to admit
that it’s all
been a waste
but we were better off as strangers
anyway oh anyway

I fall in so easily
and it takes months to climb out again
and this time I just don’t know
if that’s something I can do again
I know I belong here at the bottom
it is the only place I feel safe
because all I have to fear is myself
this is only my place
but I am sorry
I just couldn’t make you happy
even though I wanted to
I can’t let myself forgive you
for telling me you loved me
just because you know I wanted you to
I am sorry
that you’ll never care about me in a way
that has meaning
and I’ll never understand how
a week was enough for you to stop caring
And I am sorry
for doing this to myself again
and I am sorry
that I wish we could be friends
you kissed me while
your Door was open
you had my stuff packed but you wanted
to act like this was my decision
It’s always my job to be the bigger person
I fall in so easily and it
takes months
to climb back out again
and this time I don’t
know if that is something I can do
again

You didn’t see that I was burning out
and how can I be angry that
you didn’t fix a problem you knew nothing about
the only one to blame is me
maybe it was your job
to know when my head
was spinning too fast
come and help me
settle back down
all the secrets I kept
filled me at night
as I talked on the phone
voice quieter than my breath
so you don’t hear
no you wouldn’t hear at all
no you never heard at all
you never said you would
be angry, mad, or disappointed
so why did I feel like I had
to keep all this shit inside me
only on my own
now I’m always filled with doubt
that maybe I am just pretending
my mind isn’t sick I’m just a disappointment
and my whole world is ending
For the first time in my life
I am afraid of dying
not sure if I want to live yet
but I hope you can tell I'm trying
Maybe you’ll never really know me
but I can tell you tried
so one day maybe I can forgive you
and I can’t wait for that day to arrive

Be safe and I love you
Those are the kindest words you can hear
Be safe and I love you
There is such a simple form
Of care
My friends have said it so many different ways
Let me know when you get home
Be safe and I love you
It’s all that matters to me now
Don’t be reckless with a life I care so much about
I don’t know what I would do if you were gone and I don’t want to find out
So if you have to drive slow in the rain
I’ll make sure to leave the porch light on
Be safe and I love you
It’s the only thing that matters now
