Tranquility
I've tried sleeping with a broken heart. Unlike Alicia, I found it quite easy. It's the only way to escape my reality that you're no longer here. I close my eyes and the memories fade. My waking hours are consumed by thoughts of you, my mind feels I need a rest. I slip into a peaceful snooze and my common senses awaken. I dream of streams flowing so gently and steady. I dream of the treetops swaying in the wind. I dream of the beautiful snowcapped mountains. These dreams represent what I want and need in my life, tranquility.

Your Company
I didn't want anything except your company.
You made me smile, you made me laugh. We made our own path. Each stone described our greatness.
We had an understanding. We had a connection. That has become disconnected. Like an unpaid electric bill, my spark was gone. I sit in darkness yearning for a gleam of light. Curious about the cause of the blackout. I thought I've paid my dues. Maybe, it's the fines. They get me everytime.
I didn't want anything except your company.
It's like, we're two of a kind, a pair of the same. Inflicted by the same pains, wearing our poker faces, strong. Unable to escape the past gone wrong. Intellect over emotions, right? We gotta be smarter than our hearts. So we let our brains tear us apart. We knew what it was from the start.
I didn't want anything except your company.
Maybe I was lying to myself as were you too. Yet, I was the only one who knew what to do. Buried like a pirate's treasure deep in the pits of nowhere, I stored my feelings. I let mind my mind take over. That ensured no new offense on an old defender. I object!!
I didn't want anything except your company.
That is more than you wanted from me. If I made you feel inferior, I'm sorry. I can only be me. I'm far from perfect and comfortable in it. When will you get with it. We are ALL a work in progress. I seem like fine art in your abstract world. Honestly, I'm just another girl--
That only wanted your company and you said "goodbye".
Instead of my goodbye, just know:
I only want your company.
