I would never post this on facebook. Why am I posting it here? I want to share it with more than just a dead forum of people who used to write pokemon fanfiction. Yet, I know by posting it here, minimal people will find it, and the people who do find it, well I'm happy for them to read my feeble attempts at writing, and my lovely use of cliche.
I'm sorry. I'm trying really hard but, I'm just not going to cope any time soon, okay?

Shoe
Stay with me
These lonely roads are haunting to drive along
And in the darkness, in the silence,
There was you
I'm leaping, I'm falling headlong
Into your words, into a memory
I would do anything for this
To last a life time
I'm drowning
I can see the surface but I'd rather sink
Into green backyards, into summer scenes
I'm with you
Running up, running down again
Swing around the old hills hoist
Good bye sweet surface, you have
Nothing to offer me
Tomorrow
You are my most trusted companion
You keep me going, my world there is safe
And comfortable
I'm torn between my two lovers
The yesterday and the yet to come
Now is such an ugly place to be
When compared to you
Blond curls
Bright blue eyes and a reason to grow up
Conquering the world, winning us over
Making me proud
From being born to being here
There's not a moment I would miss
If it were my choice but clearly it's not.
If only it were.
I saved a seat
in church and kept glancing at the door
Fooling myself that you would walk on through
Blush for being late
Stay with me, I begged of you
Please don't leave, but you have too
I would do anything for you
to last a life time here
