Here I am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded
But I see
See through it all
See through
See you

“Pull me away from my thoughts and this place. I’d be stuck without the thought of your face. Dont let time slip away, we only have today.”

- nail-in-the-wall [15.10.19] (This was written to appreciate how friendship takes you out of bad moments and how just the thought of a friend can soothe you and how the time I feel best is around mine. Its the chorus of a song I wrote about Ebbs - my favourite human - around a year ago. Speaking of songs, lol I’m so bad at this, Seb - ebbs is my nickname for him - has released a song called Breathe and its amazing! Please have a listen! Its amazing! I love it!

My sweet love

My sweet love if you die tonight

I’ll wait on the other side

And pull you out of the abyss of death

My sweet love if you cry tonight

I’ll be on your other side

And pull you out of the depth of hell

My sweet love if you cant bear to smile

I’ll be right by your side

And pull you out the pit of despair

My sweet love if you’re not by my side

I’ll hold pictures of you to my chest

And hold them till the day I’m dead

My sweet love if you can’t love yourself

I’ll tell you all the words I’ve ever felt

And hold you until you feel them as well

My sweet love if you need someone

I’ll be right there when I can

And your head will alway have a space on my chest

So at the beginning of the Alvin and The Chipmunks first movie, the main guy is showing his original song to someone from a record label and we only hear a few lines. These are those lines. The 2008 emo child in me loved those words and I have caught myself singing those lines for the past 11 years since. So I thought, why don’t I write a poem/song? And this is it! The two halves are different cos I wrote in May 2019 and the other now. Enjoy!)

Maybe its you

Maybe it’s your eyes

They’re like the ocean

I am swimming in the tides

The waves move far and wide

You capture me

But I picture us in movie scenes

Maybe its the way you walk

The way you get to a destination

Before the world

Has an idea of where you’re going

The way you look straight ahead

Like you’re walking

Toward the love of your life

And all you see is her in your sights

Maybe it’s your smile

The dimples on both sides

The way you shine

Like the sun in the morning sky

The way it stays with me until the evening time

Maybe it’s the way it felt

When your hand touched me

And I thought of nothing else

The way the world went away

When I saw the sight of your face

When I felt your hand hold me

Maybe it’s not all these things

Maybe its everything

About you that I like

Maybe its you

i’ve got hands

attached to strings

watch me dance

can’t make me sing

E.G. // a song I’m writing

broken hearts

shattered glass

weigh the same

in bloodied hands.
