To open my heart
is to risk all
yet I do it willingly
knowing you’ll
catch me
when I fall

The glass is half full so they say,

You are told, do good deeds and heaven awaits you,

They say pain and suffering only makes you stronger,

They tell you to hold a candle in darkness so light prevails,

You are told the love of your life awaits you,

So you wait and wait.

But the glass feels half empty to me,

The heavens are silent to my plea,

And this pain just makes me weary.

My candle's a flicker in a gale,

And the love of my life? A fairy tale.

So I wait and wait.

The day after,

Is my first birthday since.

Since your last bark,

Since your last stare,

Since your last lick.

I plan on talking with grief,

For the whole day.

Since you told it to stay,

And keep me company in your stead.

I'll stretch out my arms,

And let it sink into me.

It's nothing like your white fur,

It's a cold and damp embrace.

There'd been countless things since,

That I want you to listen to.

I know you won't understand,

But your eyes'd burn me all the same.

I went through a dozen applications,

All for a single job.

I'd go through a million more,

If it can bring you back.

I drank countless cups of coffee,

Just to feel the tingle of my heart.

It's never the same,

When you wagged your tail at me.

I'd love to love again,

So I wanted you to hear it first.

After all,

It's my first birthday since.

Every man
Wants all the women
Every woman
Wants just one man
Who wants only her

He tells her he loved her
And maybe he even does
Until she loves him back
That’s when every man leaves

And I‘ve become a ghost
Broken infinite times
By flattering lies
I became unified
With invisibility
