~Making the Most of Nothing~
Lips I wished I could have met,
Those I wish I could forget,
The laughter I wish to hear just one more time,
The misty allure of things I knew I shouldn't think,
Stolen kisses they knew I wanted to take,
So many friends that have passed away,
I'm still wasting my life away with daydreams and what it's,
Hidden away thinking I will be found,
Lunacy of the heart has stricken my mind,
How can a broken male attract such beauty?
I lie to myself... believing in childish things,
Hope and what's meant to be,
Every day is the same... tasteless without substance,
My heart aches to excite over another’s presence,
Is my life really wasted? Without meaning?
A broken man who got used to hiding his heart,
Diminishing his light to fit in,
I want so much more that what they deem normal,
I want old fashioned romance and candlelit fairy tales,
Soft voices and long embraces, sea-sprayed hugs without words,
Shaking sand from giggling clothes,
I want everything I never thought myself worthy of,
I want to live life that others would wish just one more day for,
But is such a tragedy of a man worthy of such things?
Destined to fade away with this lonesome silhouette,
I never knew that so much could be hidden behind a smile,
I want thoughts and feelings, no more guessing or wondering,
I want to share everything and doubt nothing,
To live with a full heart, and a genuine smile,
What a beautiful thought!
