I wanted you to value my presence just enough to prevent my absence.
Z. ELLIOTTI wanted you to value my presence just enough to prevent my absence.
Z. ELLIOTTHe and I were like water and oil, We could co-exist, but never quite mixed.
Z. ELLIOTTMaybe those who hurt me in the past were not all monsters, but rather kindred spirits who got lost along the way.
Z. ELLIOTTI had shed my old skin so I could make room to grow into myself again.
Z. ELLIOTTI’m drawn to you like a moth to a flame, it’s no wonder I can’t resist every time you say my name.
Z. ELLIOTTGrief sits uncomfortably until it seeps under your skin, so you no longer feel weighed down by it but still feel its subtle presence.
Z. ELLIOTTSociety tells you to leave when somebody treats you badly but its so much harder than it seems.
Z. ELLIOTTYour lips were soft and tender, warm like september. Every moment spent with you made me feel wild and brand new.
Z. ELLIOTTHe disappeared like a ghost in the night but I kept looking for him in the shadows of the moonlight.
Z. ELLIOTTInstead of pouring me the finest liquor, he filled my cup with false promises and sweet nothings.
Z. ELLIOTTI never thought the victim would be me yet there I was paralyzed and struggling to set myself free. It took every fibre in my being to walk away and let it be.
Z. ELLIOTTI was an unfortunate bystander caught up in the winds of your destructive storms, destroyed to ruins with nothing left to spare but feeling of emptiness lingering through air.
Z. ELLIOTTI’m not meant to be your midnight secret, I deserve to be loved in the daylight.
Z. ELLIOTTI don’t need a doctor or a shaman to tell me how I feel, only I have the power to heal. I can mend my wounds into scars as a reminder of where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.
Z. ELLIOTTI knew my healing had purpose when songs that used to remind me of you didn’t bring tears to my eyes anymore.
Z. ELLIOTTHe played with my heart strings and turned them into a song I can’t get out of my head.
Z. ELLIOTT
