I didn't want to sing. I wanted to be music.

As I read you I fell in love with the holes between your words and I loved you most on the days you could not love yourself.

I keep running away, As if from something, As if to something. I keep running away, As if from myself, As if to myself.

Would you still read me when I become a blank page.

Let's be incomplete together.

Promises are born broken, to fix them you keep them..

You never needed wings to fly,You only needed love.

Walking away ends a battle in the heart of one, and starts a war in the soul of another.

My heart's been broken in a thousand pieces I've lived and died a thousand times And in each of those lifetimes With all of those pieces I chose you_A million times.

You fade slowly till no one sees you disappear.

Half the world is wandering, the other half is lost.

I know where nowhere is, I know where nowhere leads, it's the place you go when you have nothing left to lose but you.

Reading a stranger's words and finding yourself in them.

I am the poet, you are the poem; I hold the pen, you are the words, love is the ink, silence is the blank page.

I write to create a sky where the moon can touch the sun and not get burned.

We crafted everything that hurt us into art.

Everything I try to hide ends up screaming from a mountaintop.

Your words were music to me tonight, but you weren't mine to listen to.
