did you see her in the twilight?
the fawn limping across the road that night?
you're thinking you should've stopped right?
her dark eyes once shone so bright
but there was something that stole her light
someone stalked her in the dead of night
and the fawn was unaware of her plight
ears twitching and eyes widening at the sight
the assassin stood and smiled slight
so the fawn was unable to see his spite
his face was always covered and out of sight
never made visible even by the moonlight
the assassin's mask hardly slipped off alright
but when it did the fawn peered into his sleight
he then whipped out his shotgun in a fright
grazing the fawn's leg as she took flight
and the light in her eyes went out that night
he was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
he'd steal her light before she ever heard a thing
he's an assassin and he had a job to do
little did he know, that fawn was an assassin too

when do we decide life is fragile?
when natural disasters destroy thousands of homes?
when we pass a deadly accident on the highway?
when we see the homeless begging on the street?
when do we decide it’s too close to home?
when our mom’s old friend passes and she makes us attend the funeral?
when we’re taking dinner to the grieving family?
when the next saturdays are filled with repasts?
or is it when a family member is on the edge of death?
someone once so lively and alert, so beautiful
someone who once lived outside of an illness
now hanging onto, clinging to, grasping for life
when their breaths are too difficult to draw
when all the family gathers around their hospital bed
when they cry out at night for their caretaker
when they can hardly utter words anymore
when it’s already too late
that’s when it sneaks up on us—
the fragile nature of life

now that you’re gone i cant stop seeing you
i walk around the nike store looking for you
i drive around day and night just to feel you
i listen to john mayer just to hear you
im up late trying to figure out your aim
wondering why i kept playing your game
convincing myself that there’s no flame
but my call log is flooded with your name
and im also wondering how you are
if we’re ever looking at the same stars
if you’re depressed and working on cars
if you’re under the covers writing bars
i just wanna share a redbull with you
discuss the situation from your point of view
while i lock my feelings far away from you
i guess im just trying to tell you that i miss you

dealing with the weight of my feelings for you
trying to deny it but god knows im screwed
pushing away my dreams about you
my god why it’s so hard to be around you?
yeah i know you’re not for me
and you probably never will be
but i still can’t shake what i want us to be
you lift the weight of the world off me
but you’ve got me overthinking to a degree
where anything you say makes me queasy
and my racing thoughts make me dizzy
i’ve spent years lonely and falling apart
but i still don’t understand the void in my heart
still can’t see why this is so damn hard
do you care about me or is your girl busy?
this isn’t the solution i thought it would be
and i know you’re not right for me
but even distancing myself is hurting me
why is even friendship giving me difficulty?
why couldn’t you be for me
i’ll never find anyone who’s just for me

am i in love?
am i in love with you?
with the thought of you?
with how tall you are?
with how much you care?
with how handsome you are?
with how sweet you are?
am i in love because you want to fix my car?
because you asked me to come see you?
because you always want to hear my voice?
am i in love or am i just lonely?
am i in love or am i just attached?
am i in love or am i just unheard?
am i in love or am i just unloved?

love me
kiss me
feel me
hug me
i want long walks on the beach with you
i want early morning cuddles with you
i want to sip on hot chocolate at 1am with you
i want to go on long drives with you
it’s illegal how badly i want you
your face
your hands
your body
your lips
i lie awake at night thinking about you
thinking back to chilling all day with you
walking down the hall to the window with you
half-asleep and resting my head on you
couldn’t stand it but thank god i was with you
your hair
your touch
your eyes
your laugh
can’t wait to see you in my dreams

how do i ask for love without feeling like a burden?
how do i ask being indebted to someone for the rest of my life?
why do i even need to ask?
why wasn’t i born with a life companion?
why can’t i just be loved?
why can’t the saddest person in the universe be loved by someone automatically?
why am i still wasting time on you?
why can’t i go on late night drives with you?
why can’t we talk without me feeling something?
why am i bound by rules that prevent me from falling in love?
why am i trying to prevent myself from falling in love?
