Wanderlust

Her eyes are as cold
as the December snow
but her arms are warm.

She's in for the season,
but give her a reason
and she'll be gone.

She's as free as the wind blows,
a falling star's best friend
as they shoot through the night until
their adventure ends.

She makes it a point not
to stay in the same spot
for very long.

And she'll steal the show,
but she won't stick around
after the lights come on.

Though many have held her,
she cannot be held in place.
She isn't afraid, no, she
just loves the thrill of the chase.

A collector of hearts and pins on a map,
she acts as her own compass.
Her only destination is anywhere else,
they call her sweet Wonderlust.

She's as fierce of a lover
as she is a runner,
but she'd never tell

that the path she has paved
are stones of remains
of her past self.

Her heart, it was shattered
by a broken soul, but then
she picked up all the pieces
and scattered them into the northern winds.

A collector of hearts and pins on a map,
she acts as her own compass.
Her only destination is anywhere else,
they call her sweet Wonderlust.

Oh, she doesn't want pity, she needs not your money,
but if ever you call her your own,
She's in for the season, so don't be defeated
for when the snow melts, she'll be gone.

End of the Rainbow


My heart wants to love you 
but my spirit,
it just can’t take the pain. 
For the longest time,
I put no one above you,
not even myself 
but it’s time for a change. 

And we’re standing here
at the end of our rainbow,
a last attempt 
and you still say it’s my fault. 

But I can only bend until I break 
and I can only give until there’s nothing left to take. 
Down on my knees, I finally see the truth,
I can’t fix you. 

I can’t sleep for all the memories 
attacking me 
for the ways that we went wrong. 

Why couldn’t you 
just be the man that I needed
and loved someone
more than yourself? 

But I can only bend until I break 
and I can only give until there’s nothing left to take. 
Down on my knees, I finally see the truth,
I can’t fix you. 

And you’re sitting there 
reading every word I’ve written,
my last attempt 
and you’ll still say it’s my fault.
