I’m Not Like That

If you can’t have your way
You disappear
Am I like that?
Do you want to punish
People around you
By taking away your love?
Am I like that?
Do you gain anything
By refraining from
Sharing your love?
Showing up for someone
In a capacity that is
Selfless and greater
Than the best you
Give yourself
In my assessment
You give yourself nothing
By taking away
Burning your plane
Crash and your going down
In flames by proving your
Point or is your point to
Remind me that you
Have no point to prove
Because you’re not
A pencil however
If you had one would you
Write me a letter?
Would you show me every word
Or would you erase some
Of what you feel
Am I like that?
I want to tell you everything
There are no second chances
No closure can be found
If we’re living on no man’s ground
I’m not like that

Hold That Smile

Like you mean it
Don’t let it slide
Make it wide
Last awhile
So brilliant

Don’t second guess
If the other person
Really means it
Keep the edges up
Curved full of love

Beamingly pleased
Smile like you mean it
Watch your eyes sparkle back
Through the window
That reflects in the
Eyes of the soul

We don’t have to
Fake it till we make it
This is your moment
So hold on to it tight

Make it bright
Until you drive away
Until you turn the corner
Until they walk away

Hold that smile
